Please return all library books to school today. Parade & Harvest Party Friday 10/30 No School ________________________________________________ Harvest Parties! Scottish Corners students will have Harvest Parties on Thursday, October 29th. The students will participate in a parade and then have a party in the classroom. Students should wear regular clothes to school and can bring their costumes in a bag. Shortly before the parade the students will be able to put on their costumes. In most cases, students should be able to put their costume on over their normal clothes. If this is impossible, students will be allowed to change in the restroom. AM Class: The morning class will get to participate in a kindergarten costume parade through the lower and upper floors of Scottish Corners. The parade will start around 10:45am. Upon return to our classroom, the students will enjoy a Harvest Party until 11:45am. Please contact the AM Harvest Party coordinator, Amy Licata, if you would like to help with the party. PM Class: The afternoon class will participate in a whole school parade to Brookdale Muirfield Retirement Home. Weather permitting, the parade will start around 2:15pm. Upon return to our classroom, the students will enjoy a Harvest Party until 3:30pm. Please contact the PM room parent coordinator, Marcie Gagnon, if you would like to help with the party. October 23, 2015 What You Can Do at Home to Support Our Work in Room 108… Math: Please help your child practice counting, reading and writing numbers to 20. Our next goal will be counting to 100 by 1s. If your child has this mastered, practice counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. Word Study: Your child should be able to read the following words: a, I, to, the, my, is. A great activity is to practice writing these words. Feel free to work ahead on the list of 22 kindergarten word wall words. Reading: Read a story to your child and stop throughout to have him or her make predictions about what will happen next. Encourage your child to look for word wall words in the book. Writing: Help your child to journal about something that happens at home throughout the week. Encourage your child to draw a picture and label or write words to match. Science: Discuss the weather with your child. What is the sky like today? Is it warm or chilly? Is the weather changing? If so, how? Social Studies: Help your child recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
