Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Can you believe this is the last week of October? Time is sure flying fast in kindergarten. This Friday, October 29th we will be having out harvest party. I have a couple of parents coming in to help but can always use more. If you are able to help up we will be getting started around 9:30. Students are welcome to dress up on this day. We will be having a parade around the campus at 9:15 to show off our costumes.
This week we will be learning about the letters B and K as well as the sight word, you. We will also be starting our morning journals this week. Everyday students will write in their journals. These are a fun way to track the progress of each student.
We will also be introducing the -in family, pin, swim, fin, tin as well as continuing our -an family, can, man, fan, ran.
Next Thursday, November 4th, we will be having the Ranch Elementary Open House and Ice Cream Social. This is when the whole family can come out and see our classroom and what we have been doing for the first couple of months of kindergarten. It is from 5-7:30pm. I hope to see a lot of you there!
Scholastic book orders went home on Friday. If you are interested in ordering books please return the orders by Monday, November 5th. If you would like to order online you can do so by going to www.scholastic.com/bookclubs our activation code is GLZRC. If you have any questions please let me know!
I hope everyone has a great week, let me know if you have any questions!

October 19th
I hope everyone had a great break! This week we are focusing on the letter I and its sound. We will also be introducing the sight words to, you. Please make sure you are practicing these at home. We will also be learning about the -an family. Our words are can, man, fan, can, ran. Students need to be able to look at these words, know what they say, and spell them. Everyone did a great job on the -at family last week so I am sure this week will be the same.
In math we will be practicing numbers through 15. I will really be focusing on showing me the number of objects using different items from our classroom. You can do your part at home by asking them to show you the different quantities of items.
Homework packets will go home tomorrow. I forgot the copies at my other school so cannot send them home today as originally planned. Sorry for the delay.
Thank you to everyone who came to parent teacher conferences. If you missed your conference and would like to schedule a new time, please let me know. I am only available in the mornings on the Ranch campus.
For those of you who will be starting the reading series, these books will start coming home Monday the 25th. If you have any questions about the reading series please let me know!
If you asked for the sight word flashcards to be email out, I will hopefully be doing that at the end of the day.
Friday, October 29th is going to be our fall harvest party. Students are welcome to dress up for this party. I am going to need lots of help to make sure this party runs smoothly. I will be sending home a note about the party tomorrow as well as an item we need donated for the party. Please mark on that paper if you will be able to help at the party.
As always, if you have any questions please email me! Have a great week.

October 4
I hope everyone had a great weekend. This week is sure to be a busy one. We will be reviewing all letters, numbers, and words that we have learned up to this point. Make sure you are reviewing the sight words. I still have a lot of kids confused about the words the and my. The other words they seem to have down!
We will also be continuing our writing skills. We are working on learning about beginning capital letters, finger spaces, and periods. I also tell my students that they need 2 fingers between each word. This helps them to get the proper spacing between each word.
Remember, conferences are this week. I have most of you scheduled for Thursday. I am still missing quite a few conference confirmation slips. Please return the slips to be as soon as possible so I can change conferences around if we need to.
There is no school for AM kindergarten on Friday. If your child attends kinder express, they will go right to kinder express on Friday from 8:15 - 11:15. All students need to be picked up at 11:15 on both Thursday and Friday.
We are still in need of sanitizing wipes and/or baby wipes. If you are able to donate we would appreciate it!
Homework is due this Thursday. A new homework packet will go home the Tuesday after fall break. Remember, there is no school the Monday after fall break, the 18th.
The coupon book sale is now over, if you still have coupon books at home, please return them with your student. We need all unsold coupon books back so we do not get charged for them.
I look forward to seeing everyone at conferences to show off all the great work we have been doing in kindergarten! Remember to practice the sight words this week! The sight words we have learned so far are:
the, my, I, like, go, we, am, at, a
