Sorry for being behind by a week!
Last week we were working on the letter Aa and our graphing skills. We covered the sight words "at" "my" and "name."
Tuesday was our apple-rific day! We used our 5 senses to explore apples including their scent and taste. We enjoyed yellow, red and green apple slices and graphed our favorite kinds. We also enjoyed drinking apple cider. We read numerous books about how apples grow and took the time to draw seeds in our very own paper apples. It was a wonderful day!
This week we will be working on the letter Dd. In math we will continue to work on our graphic skills as well as the numbers 6 and 7. We will start counting by 10's- be sure to ask your child about our counting by 10's song. There are hand motions, too!!
Our Halloween parade and party will be this Friday. This week I will be sending home a form asking you if you are picking up your child at 12 on Friday to eat and dress up at home or if your child will be staying at school for the entire day.
Those students staying at school all day will be changing into our costumes at 12:45. The parade will begin at 1:00 and we will have a brief (but fun!) class party afterward.
If you are interested in helping out with the parade or party, please send me an email and let me know!
Please remember, all children must have 12 green days (we began counting the first day of October!) to attend the party. :)

Week of October 11
This week we are studying the letter Cc. We will be working on the sight words "am", "a" and "my". In math we are reviewing the numbers 0-5 with a series of games and graphs. On Monday and Tuesday we played a math identification game using dice and on Wednesday we'll be graphing our favorite pizza toppings.
Our writing is coming along well! We are working hard to use our sight words and stretch out unfamiliar words to complete our sentences. We are also focusing to start our sentences with an uppercase letter, end them with a period and leave a space between each of our words. Any help you can do at home with writing is greatly appreciated!
I sent an email home yesterday asking you to collect Acme receipts, coke rewards points and Box Tops for the school as well as pop tabs for our own Room 2 collection. Thanks for your help!
The end of the grading period is sneaking up on us already. The final day of the grading period is Friday, October 29. Our Kindergarten Room 2 goal for 100 Book Challenge is 85 lines by that Friday.
Additionally, that is our Halloween parade and party. We are still working hard on our behavior to earn 12 "green days" so that we can attend!

Week of October 4
Well after 8 full days and 2 1/2 days and a total of 5 different substitutes- I'm finally back!
I'm looking forward to this week not only because I'm planning on being there all 5 days, but also because our parent 100 Book Challenge coaches are starting this week and conferences are taking place.
Here's what we are learning about this week in Room 2: the letter Pp, the color word purple, sight words: the, like & I. In math we will continue our work in patterning as well as practicing the numbers 4 & 5. We will be reviewing writing numbers 1-5 in class and I appreciate if you can help practice at home as well.
Here is the number talk we use to help us remember how to write our numbers correctly:
1: Start at the top and down we run. That's how we make a 1.
2: Around the track and go right back. Two, two, two (like a train choo, choo, choo sound!)
3: Around the tree and around the tree, that's how we make a 3.
4: Down, over and down some more. That's how we make a four.
5: Down, a fat belly and a hat on top. Hello, Mr. 5 (Okay, so this one doesn't rhyme, but how do you rhyme 5?! :) Plus, the kiddos get a kick out of putting the "hat" on top to finish it off!)
Please remember to sign your child's homework packet. This lets me know that you have checked your child's work and have a clear understanding of the skills that we are practicing in class.
The Halloween Parade and Party will take place on Friday, October 29. Mrs. Dean will be sending home more detailed information. At King students must earn special rewards including holiday parties. For Room 2 students to attend the Halloween Parade and Party they will need 12 green days. The count will begin tomorrow!
Please remember to check your email periodically throughout the week. If there are any other updates, I will send them via email!
