Dear K-A Parents,

Wow, a 4 day week flies by so quickly!  

Taylor was our Star of the Week this past week.  On Friday,  we were treated to Taylor's mom reading "Rainbow Fish" to us via Zoom.  The class loved it!  If you would like to do something fun like that for your child's week, plaese reach out to me!

The children finished their 2nd week of learning centers.  It is becoming apparent that this is one of our favorite times of the day!  This morning, I was asked multiple times (during Language Arts) if it was time for "centers".  

We have a fun event planned for Thursday, October 22nd.  We will be having a kindergarten version of our Fall Festival.  We are calling it "Pumpkin Palooza"!  The classes will be split in half and each group of 10 or so students will move through activity stations accompanied by 1 teacher.  We do not need any helpers or supplies.  The children will need to dress in play clothes and wear sneakers.  This day is, also, a half day of school.   Friday will be our rain date.

This week in K-A:

Language Arts- Our essential question this week was "What kinds of work do people do?"   Our letter for the week was the letter M.  The children are working on identifying the sound for the letter M in the beginning of a word.  We added a new word to our word wall.  Next week will be a sight word review week.

Math-  Our essential question is: "How do you show how many?"  The children finished Chapter 1 this week.  They will take their math test on Monday.  Chapter 2 is titled "Numbers to 10".

Religion- This week, the children are learning about God's gift of land.  We will finish this chapter next week.  I have, also, begun to read Bible Stories to the class.  Last week, after hearing the story of Noah's Ark, Luke told me he really liked hearing that story.  

Science- On Tuesday, the children learned about Owls and how they communicate.  Did you know different owls make different sounds?  The class watched a "Mystery Science" episode that required them to listen and try to determine sounds they hear.  

Social Studies-  Our topic was "What is a neighborhood?"  We looked up my house; Sam's house; and SMM.  We talked about what can be found in a neighborhood.  I pointed out streets and houses as well as stores in the vicinity.  The children are eager to learn their addresses and we will be using Google Earth to zoom in to your neighborhood.
