                      KINDERGARTEN NEWS

Yes, we Kindergartners!  These wonderful children have adjusted to our classroom routine, attended all the Specials and successfully mastered lunch in the cafeteria and recess. 
Thank you for attending Back to School Night. I was happy to meet the new parents and to catch up with the parents of some former students. I hope that we covered most of your questions or concerns about Kindergarten. Remember that I will be happy to answer an email, return a phone call or set up a face to face meeting at any time during the year.
Thank you for sending in the Teddy Bears for our picnic. It turned out to be a beautiful day to be outdoors on the Convent lawn. The children enjoyed a snack of teddy grahams, popcorn and apples. We acted out "Going on a Bear Hunt" and enjoyed playing with bubbles. Thank you to Angelica's mother who helped out with the picnic.    

Last Week:  
In Religion: The children began the "Blest Are We" series with Chapter 1: "God Creates the Skies". The children realized that God created the objects in the sky and learned a poem about the moon, stars, sun and clouds. In Math we began working in Chapter 1 of "Go Math". We use the Smartboard daily for instruction and support. We used counters to have some hands-on practice before completing our math papers.  

This Week: 
Religion: Chapter 2: "God Creates the World". The children will appreciate that God created the world because He loves beauty and life. 
Math: We will continue in Chapter 1. We will concentrate on counting and writing 3,4,5. Please remind your child ALL numbers are formed from TOP TO BOTTOM. 
ELA: We will begin to work in our Reading Readiness "The Superkids" series. The first book will take 2 weeks to complete. We will learn the hard sound of "C/c" as in catch, cook, cucumber. The book will come home when it is completed.
Project: We will be completing the masks for our "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" class play.
 

General Info:
