Week of September 13

This week we will be working on the letter S and the color word yellow. 
In math we are working on sorting by shape, size, color as well as other categories.

On Tuesday we will be sorting by items that go in an art box and items that go in a lunchbox.
On Wednesday we will be sorting nuts by size, type and color. 

Homework will begin this week.  Homework will go home in your child's homework folder and should return on Friday in the same folder.  Please continue to read 100 Book Challenge books with your child every night.  Remember, you can sign 1 line for each 15 minutes you read.  Our goal by the end of the first grading period is to have 100 lines (or more!).

Scholastic Book Orders also went home this week.  If you are interested in placing an order please return it to school with your child no later than this Friday.  You may order online or pay with a check made out to "Scholastic".

One of my favorite things I've heard in my classroom so far is this quotation: "This is the best kindergarten ever!"
And while I am THRILLED that they are having a good time, I can't help but think that they've got no other kindergarten experience to compare it to!  :)
