KINDERGARTEN NEWS

A PEEK AT THE WEEK

This week we will be exploring colors and shapes. The shapes tested for our report card include circle, triangle, square, rectangle, oval and diamond also called a rhombus. I know the children know most of the colors and shapes so I will be incorporating lots of reading and writing skills into this unit. We will be making more books for you and your child to read together. A fun science experiment will help us learn about mixing colors. Graphing data, singing songs and continuing to work together as a school family are all important lessons in this unit.

NWEA TIME

This week the children will be going to the computer lab to finish the NWEA testing. This fun computer activity will give us data in the areas of math. Results of this testing will be shared with you at conferences.

UPCOMING EVENTS

School pictures will be taken next Monday, September 29. I am sure you will receive information about this soon. We will attend the homecoming parade on Friday, October 3. The children will walk back to school after the parade. They will be dismissed from there.

LOOKING AHEAD

We will be beginning a fall unit next week. Topics for the next month include apples, leaves, pumpkins, bats and nocturnal animals. Fire safety lessons are also planned for the month of October. Looks like lots of learning ahead.

Have a great week!
