Fall is finally here! Now let's all hope the weather starts feeling like fall.
Homework went home today, sorry I didn't get it to everyone on Friday. Please let me know if you don't have a packet for this week. This week we are learning about the letters L and H. Please practice at home by having your student find as many things in the house that start with these letters. We are also working on the -at family with words like sat, cat, fat, mat, hat, bat, etc.
In math we are continuing our numbers through 10 as well as AB patterns and ABB patterns. An example of an AB pattern would be red, blue, red, blue. An example of an ABB pattern would be red, blue, blue, red, blue, blue. Practice at home by seeing if your family can make a pattern using objects from around the house such as forks and spoons!
Conferences are coming up next week. Everyone will be getting conference slips sent home shortly. Every one's conferences will be scheduled for Thursday between 12pm and 615pm. Please try your hardest to keep your scheduled appointment since there is no wiggle room. If there is no way for you to make your assigned time, please let me know ASAP so we can schedule you for a morning time. Thank you in advance for your understanding while I try to fit everyone in on Thursday. Also, keep in mind that conferences are only 15 minutes per student. If you feel you would like more than 15 minutes with me, please let me know so we can move you to a morning conference.
Thursday, October 7th (conference day) school will let out at 11:15am. There is no school for AM kids on Friday, October 8th. Kinder express kids will come to school from 8:15-11:15am.
Donations needed:
We are in need of the following things for our classroom,
baby wipes
sanitizing wipes
dry erase markers
On Friday October 29th we will be having our Harvest Party. Students will be allowed to dress up on this day. I am in need of lots of parents who will be willing to help run the party from 9-11am. If you are interesting in helping plan the harvest party with me I would love some help! I would love to put together a committee to help me plan and get ready for all of our parties throughout the year. If you are interested in being part of the party committee please let me know!
I hope everyone has a great week! If you have any questions, please email me!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! This week we will be focusing on the letters G and F. We will learn how to write it and some things that start with those letters. We will also be doing patterns. Today we had to make an AAB pattern. Everyone is doing a great job of making original patterns!
We introduced two new sight words this week as well, go, we. We have been practicing using these words in sentences. I have listed all the sight words on the side so everyone can start practicing them at home as well.
Fall conferences are coming up on October 7th and 8th. Since I am at two schools this year conferences will be a little different. I will only be available to do conferences at Ranch all day Thursday the 7th from 12pm - 7pm and every morning of that week from 7:20-8:10am. Conference slips will be going home soon. Please try your hardest to keep your scheduled time. If you already know of a conflict or a morning that would work best, please let me know now so I can schedule you accordingly. There will not be much wiggle room since I will be at two different schools. Thank you in advance for your help.
Thursday is the first day of fall and we will be having an apple celebration. We will be painting with apples, eating apples, telling about our favorite apple, and doing an apple craft. If you would like to help out at our apple celebration please let me know! The fun will be from 10 - 11am.
The class is in need of expo markers or dry erase markers. If you are able to donate some I would appreciate it!
Keep up the great work at home and if you have any questions please contact me!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend.
This week we will be continuing our apple unit and will even get to do some apple sequencing. We will also be learning about the letters N and D. This weeks sight words are, "like" and "am". We will also be learning about the "-am" family, thinking of as many words that end with am such as bam, sam, ram, etc.
This week we will be starting our writing. Today we will be writing about something we did at school. We will slowly add more and more writing each week until everyone is able to write their own sentences!
Progress reports went home on Friday, let me know if you have any questions. Please keep in mind this is the first progress in kindergarten and we have lots of room to grow! A new homework packet also went home on Friday. Make sure you are checking the back page of the homework packet. This is where I attached every ones star of the week reminders. There is only 1 spot left at the end of May so please try your hardest to make the week assigned work.
The school fundraiser packet was due today. Please turn it in as soon as you can. Thanks for your support in trying to get some new playground equipment!
I am still looking for parent helpers. If you are able to volunteer please let me know. Even if it is a one time thing or a last minute thing we are always in need of help to run our centers.
I hope everyone has a great week!

Wednesday
I hope everyone had a great holiday!
This week we are learning about the letter a. We are learning the correct way to write it as well as some things that start with the letter a. We are also getting to make some fun apple projects. We will be learning about apples for the next two weeks and will even get to paint with apples!
We will also be continuing numbers 0-5 but adding 6-10. Students should be able to write the numbers 0-10 and be able to count that many objects. We are doing lots of fun counting activities to help us learn this!
We also have lots of new songs under our belts. Ask your student if they can sing you their favorite!
Remember, homework is due on Friday! A new packet will go home Friday as well. I am looking forward to seeing all the hard work everyone did on their homework packets.
We had our first spelling test yesterday and everyone did great. I still had a few students struggle with their sight words. Please make sure you are spelling these orally at home so they can get 100% next time.
Please make sure you have marked on your calendar about the upcoming days off in October. Only AM students will come on Thursday October 7th, there will be no kinder express that day. All students need to be picked up at 11:15am. Only PM students will come Friday October 8th. This means only those students in kinder express will come to school from 8:15 - 11:15. There is no school from October 11 - 15th.
Progress reports will go home on Friday. Please understand that this is only the first four weeks of kindergarten and everyone is still learning. Don't be shocked if the scores are not where you would like them to be. Everyone is doing a great job of progressing and we will be able to see the growth between this progress report and the next. If you have questions on your progress report please don't hesitate to ask!
