Mrs. Wright's Class

Happy November! We are already a week into the month, my how time flies. We have been busy in class. Last week we learned the letters K & O. We also learned the sight word MY. Ask your kindergarten student to give you a sentence using our new word...MY. In math we are still working with numbers 0-20. We are spending quite a bit of time with numbers to make sure all students write, recognize and can count correctly. Please continue to review these concepts at home. Beginning last week we also started our fall unit. We are talking about leaves changing color, weather cooling off and things we are thankful for. There will be some festive projects coming home soon!

With the holidays quickly approaching most of the students are already talking about what presents they hope to receive. A gift I recommend is BOOKS! Kindergarten students love to listen to stories and enjoy looking at picture books. Please visit the Scholastic Book Clubs site if you are interested in ordering. This will be the last order before the holiday break, so don't miss out! Our class code to order online is: GLG4W. If you have questions or concerns regarding the book clubs, please let me know. The order will be due Wednesday, November 10th...so order today!

Lastly, this message is quite overdue! I would like to THANK each of the parents/grandparents who attended our Harvest Party on October 29th. The party was a huge success and I appreciate the great turnout of family we had. It was so helpful to have the extra hands to assist in our projects. Your help was outstanding so THANK YOU again. If you were not able to make it to our Harvest Party, don't fret we will have a Holiday Party in December that all will be welcome to attend. I will have the date soon so you can plan ahead.
