Hi everyone! I hope you had a fun Halloween. I can't wait to hear about your costumes and what you did to celebrate this special day.Can you believe we are in November? It is hard to believe we are now in our third month of school. Here's whats going on this week in Kindergarten.

Homework-This week we are working on increasing letter\sound fluency. Students say as many letters as they can on the sheet in one minute. Try again, can you say the letters faster?Did you say more this time? Now try saying the letter sounds quickly. Practice each night if you can.Two borrow-a-books go home this week. Read the books a few times during the week.Have your child point to the words, use the picture and look at the beginning letter, say it's sound and try to figure out the unknown words. Remember to sign the title of the book on the readers log, each time it's read and have your child print their name. Return homework duotang and borrow-a-books to school on Friday. You can continue to do the tracing in the ABC book, especially if you feel your child needs more practice.

Phys.Ed.Classes- Our classes are every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.Dress in comfortable clothing on these days.

Library- We go to the library every Tuesday, remember to return your book so you can sign out a new one.

Heart Healthy School Challenge-Our school is participating in the Heart Healthy Schools program! This program promotes the 5-2-1-0 message for a healthy lifestyle; which stands for 5 fruits and vegetables each day, less than 2 hours of screen time, 1 or more hours of physical activity and 0 sugar sweetened beverages. This week, starting Nov.2nd, we will trying the 5 Fruits and Vegetables a day Challenge. Please include one or 2 of these healthy snacks in your childs lunch this week. Also, it would be a big help if our students could bring in their own utensils from home when eating at the cafeteria, as it would cut down on the amount of plastic we are throwing out. Thanks!

Picture Retakes- If you wish to have picture retakes and\or sibling pictures please sign and return the form by Friday Nov. 6th. The date for picture retakes is Nov. 12th.

Have a fantastic week as you work and play the Kindergaten way!!
