October post 5

Hello everyone

Just a reminder that the Pizza Forms and money are due by Friday.

When you have filled out the Acorn Art Card Information Sheet that is attached to your child’s artwork, please return the art and information (attached – do not detach) to me. Cheques are payable to LKS.

Our first Sharing Assembly will be on October 27. The children in my class will be performing a song and story about pumpkins.

Library books are due tomorrow (library day).

A new set of Snuggle Books go home tomorrow and should be returned the next day if possible (Monday is ok of course – as long as they are returned by Tuesday which is our next snuggle book day). All the JKs will be rotating through one set of readers at a time, as will the SKs (a more challenging set). If your child is an exceptionally strong reader already (as are some of them) I will send home more challenging readers as well. Please note that each Kindergarten teacher on our JK/SK team does the following: the children work through sets of readers; programs are not individualized to children unless they are exceptionally strong readers. Please continue to encourage your child to sound out words as we do in class. Pointing at words is also very helpful, when you are reading to your child, or when your child is reading on his/her own or to you.

October 20 is pajama day!

I am very pleased to see some of the children using our Thanksgiving, Autumn and Hallowe’en words in their craft projects and at the writing table. Wonderful!

There is a marked improvement in how your children write their names which is also excellent. Each month we complete a sheet with their name and a drawing of themselves. At the end of the year I will collate them and send them home in a booklet.

That’s our news for today!

Sincerely,

Beverley
