Families

This week we are continuing with our All About Me Planner with focus on families.
We will do the following activities...
* Read The Relatives Came and draw pictures of our families
* Read What Moms Can't Do and make a class book about things we do with mommies.
* Read Just Me and My Dad and make a class book with the prompt, "Me and my dad _____."
In math we will be focusing on graphing and shapes.  (See the following post about our exploration with pattern blocks today.)
This week we will begin learning our kindergarten sight words.  These are words that students should be able to recognize and spell correctly when writing.  This week's words are I, am and the.
You should have received the first homework project in the folder today.  Please help your child decorate this paper doll.  Remember not to do it for him/her!  =)
A big THANKS goes to Grayson's mom for putting together our photo directory that was sent home today.  (I forgive her for stretching my face out!)  Hopefully this will help you figure out who your child's new friends are.
Another THANK YOU goes to Brandon's mom for putting together our class directory.  We will get that to you shortly.
Keep collecting those BOX TOPS and don't forget about the book order if you are planning to order books!
That's it for now!  Let's make it a great week!
