This week we read The Three Little Pigs. We analyzed the characters, discussed beginning, middle and end, and wrote opinions about the wolf. Ask your student their opinion on the wolf.

      Thank you Families, for making our Fall Celebration spooktacular! We had a wonderful time celebrating together! Check out Seesaw for pictures and a video of our very mini virtual parade.

Your child's week with Mrs. Hooker!

                                       Announcements

     This week in math we explore the attributes of shapes and sorting items by several classifications. In reading, we analyzed characters to help us understand stories. We also learned about being on the group plan at school. 

On Monday we will be welcoming a new student, Parker, to our class. This brings our class to 22 students.

Today your student will be bringing home a Seesaw home learning code. Thank you for joining the family app, so that you can enjoy updates from our classroom throughout the week. The home learning code is for Seesaw’s class app which allows students to complete assignments remotely. Have fun completing the social emotional learning assignment to try it out! This app will be utilized if we are remote at anytime this school year.

 

We are so excited for a Fall celebration in our classroom on Friday, October 30th from 2:10-3:10! A few reminders for that day:

• Students are welcome to wear costumes all day.  Families should use good judgement regarding costumes knowing that students will be working in them throughout the school day (perhaps they leave the bulkier pieces of the costume at home).  

• Masks, as required daily in the school setting, will still be required for safety reasons. Students will not be able to wear a costume mask instead. As per usual, no gore, weapons or "weapon like" items should come to school.

• In lieu of a traditional Halloween parade, we will take pictures and share them on our closed PTO FB page and in our blogs.

     We are learning all about time and discussing our pasts with our timeline homework. If you haven’t had the opportunity to complete the timeline with your student, please do that within the next week. The students will be sharing them with the class to celebrate the milestones in their lives. 

     Our class is also beginning to tell and write personal narratives. We are using our fingers to help us remember the parts of our stories; characters, what happened first, what happened next, what happened last, and a conclusion. 

Specials are an exciting part of our school days. In kindergarten, we enjoy Physical Education on Mondays, Art on Tuesdays, Music on Wednesdays, Media/Library on Thursdays, and Social Emotional Learning on Fridays.

 

We are so excited for a Fall celebration in our classroom on Friday, October 30th from 2:10-3:10! The students have been talking about Halloween and fun fall events since the beginning of October!  With that being said, if you are interested in helping organize this party virtually and/or preparing supplies, please fill out this https://forms.gle/y4BeXWDqcnYXQek86 .

Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. Hooker! Announcements It is not too late to send in September homework calendars! This month students get to pick out a fun sticker. Don't forget to get started on the October calendar that came home recently! On the back of the October calendar is the Pizza Hut Book-It Program. If your child would like to earn a free personal pan pizza, color the days on the calendar with at least 10 books read or 20 minutes each day. This week we completed NWEA Map testing to get a baseline for our yearly assessments. I met individually with students to assess letter and number knowledge. We read the story, Harold's Purple Crayon and students loved giving clues for the vocabulary words from the story! Today you will find log-in information in your child’s folder for the many applications we will be using in school this year. Please keep your child’s log in sheet somewhere safe so you can reference it throughout the school year. If you would like to send in a pump hand sanitizer for our classroom it would be greatly appreciated!
