Thank you all for taking the time to meet for our fall conferences. The schedule was a bit hectic this week, but we had a wonderful turnout for conferences and it was a pleasure to chat with you all in regards to the kids. They are doing super and I am amazed at how well they are grasping the concepts and progressing through the kinder skills. After break many of the kids will be ready to start reading. You will see the "Book in a Bag" come home with instructions on how our reading program works. If your child is not to that point yet, please don't worry. It is important to keep working with the letter recognition and sounds in order to better prepare them for their progression to reading. This week in class we spent time reviewing the letters learned during first quarter (M,S,R,T,N,D,P,C,A,G,F) and worked on numbers 1-10. We still struggle with recognition of numbers 6-10 as well as writing them. Please practice this over break.
This next week will be a wonderful break for all. While we didn't send home activities to do during the time off, please continue to review concepts and skills we have been working on in class. We want to keep the learning and skills fresh for our return on October 19th. We will have a busy couple of weeks after our return so please mark your calendar with the following dates:
10/20- PTO Meeting 6:30 in the MPR
10/22- Picture Retakes
10/23- Fall Festival
10/25-29th- Red Ribbon Week
10/29- Harvest Party and School Parade
I have spoken with many of you in regards to our Harvest Party on the 29th. All parents are welcome to attend and the more help...the better! There will be a flier going home on Tuesday, October 19th in regards to the details and donations needed for our party so please look out for that. Thanks again for the support you continue to provide to your child and our classroom. I hope everyone enjoys the break.
