Hello Kindergarten families, 

It is crazy to think that week three has already come and gone. These kids have been working hard and come ready to learn everyday!

We have been learning the following in each of our subject areas this week:

Reading- This week we learned the letters and sounds that go with Pp,Nn, Cc and Kk. Ask your student what sounds these letters make and what are some words that begin with those letters. They have done a great job helping me brainstorm words that belong with each letter. They have enjoyed creating their letter crowns to show what letter we have learned each day!

Math-This week we began talking about the numbers 1-4. We worked on counting out that many counters and placing them to match with the corresponding number. We have worked on how to write the numbers 1-4 and how to spell them as well!

Science- We are continuing to look at different types of trees. We put together tree puzzles, we compared how trees look next to each other and what makes them alike and different!

Upcoming Events and Notices:

• Next week's snack helper is Miyesli! Thank you Jacob for the wonderful snacks this week. 
• Fall fest is this Sunday! Come check out the class projects that are up for sale in the auction that were made by the students in last years preschool through 5th grade classes! 
• Next week is Homecoming week. The dress up days are as follows:
  • Monday- Pajama Day
  • Tuesday- Beach Day
  • Wednesday- Character Day
  • Thursday-Colorful Day
  • Friday- Washington Demon Spirit (Orange and Black) Day
    • Just a reminder that we do still have mass that day so it is important that the students do not come to school with painted faces or hair. 
• Wednesday there is an early dismissal. School will dismiss at 12:55. Friday is also an early dismissal due to Homecoming.
• I sent home Scholastic book orders in the student's backpacks this week. If you would like to order they are due back by September 21st. You can also order online at any time using the code PMDLD.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to get ahold of me at anytime. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and the sun decides to join us again soon!!
