This week, we finished reading our story “Miss Bindergarten takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten” and discussed classifying and categorizing. We also learned about the letters Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy and Zz. In Math, we were tested on our topic on identifying and describing shapes. In handwriting, we finished up working with the “Frog Jump Capitals” and wrote Nn and Mm. In Science we discussed our five senses and how they help us in our everyday lives.

Today, we had an extra recess as our September reward for good behavior. We have been respectful, safe, responsible, and have been doing our very best in class. Please encourage your child to keep up the excellent behavior for the month of October!

Reminders:

• Sight words will be tested each Monday (if I do not get through all of the students, the rest will be tested on Tuesday). Please continue to practice the lists with your child. Please refer to their folder to see which list they are currently on/what words they still need to study. *If your child has a star, they can begin working on the next list.
• Every Monday, Kindergarteners are able to shop at the school store! Please only send money in on Mondays. Thank you!
• Thank you to all who completed their September Reading Logs. I am so proud! Keep up the good work! *October Reading Logs can be found in your child’s folder.
