Kindergarten News
Week of Nov.3-7, 2014
We
are so excited for our field trip to the farm tomorrow! Send your
child in a RCE shirt if possible. Watch the weather and send a
jacket or sweatshirt, if need be. Your child can tie it around his
or her waist if they get hot. You know what your child is most
comfortable wearing- that is what matters! Send your child in
tennis shoes and with a sack lunch in a large Ziploc bag. Label
the bag with your child’s name. They will need a drink in their
lunch. If you are a chaperone, please refer to the email that came
this morning with specifics. Thank you!!
Theme: Fall and
Thanksgiving!
Reading: This week we will enjoy fall
and Thanksgiving stories! We will identify characters, setting,
and problem. We will retell using picture cards. We
will continue to utilize the cognitive skill of mental imaging while listening
to stories. This skill will help us add details to our
writing!
Writing: This week we will make literacy connections to
Thanksgiving stories while using these stories as a basis for our own individual
book making/writing! We will focus on use of capitals, periods, and appropriate
spacing as we write. We will continue to add details to make our
writing more interesting. This week we will write about fall,
apples, Thanksgiving traditions, and other stories from our
lives.
