This week we will begin our third planner, Tell Me a Story. This planner focuses on the need to tell stories, emotions that are ignited through stories and creating stories. We will start the planner with a study of the classic story of The Gingerbread Man. We will read various versions of the story and then create our own!
In math we will begin story problems and revisit graphing.
Our sight words are WAS, IT and CAN.
We will go to LDC today and tomorrow.
Wednesday will be the first day of STANFORD test administration. It will take the first hour-hour and a half of class for 5 days. Please make sure that your child gets a good night's sleep and healthy breakfast these days.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Let's make these last 3 weeks of the semester great ones full of learning and growing!

November 8-12
This week we are continuing our Big O planner with a focus on patterns and story sequencing.
* We will also have a mini author study of Eric Carle. We will read The Very Hungry Caterpillar (sequencing activity), Have You Seen My Cat? (character match), The Very Busy Spider (sequence the order characters were introduced), and Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
* During math we will focus on patterns with color, shape, position and sound.
* Our sight words this week are one, two and what.
* There is a homework activity in your child's folder this week. The turkeys need a disguise so they won't get eaten on Thanksgiving! Please help. but do not do it for your child. Be creative!
* Our Thanksgiving Feast will be on Tuesday, November 23rd. Each of the kindergarten classes is in charge of bringing something to share with all of kindergarten---plates, bread, fruit, veggies, pie or drinks. Our class is in charge of bringing drinks. In order to have enough for everyone, each family in our class needs to send in 2 jugs (gallons or liters) of something---juice, lemonade, punch, etc. Please have these here by November 19th.
Thanks for your help!
