Announcements
Dear Families:
I really enjoyed the conversations I had
with all of the families that I met with last
Thursday for Parent/Teacher conferences.
It’s great to be able to share all of the
progress that your child has made so far this
school year.
To those families with which I have to
reschedule conference times, THANK YOU
for being flexible. I will be sending out a new
link for you all. I will offer two days for you
to choose from in November.
Learning Focus
We continued to work on numbers to 100. The
100 Chart was a very important tool that we
used as a resource. Not only did it help us
count and find missing numbers, it also helped
us to see patterns within the chart to guide us
in counting by 2’s, and 10’s. We will be having
our end of topic assessment test this upcoming
week, which will determine if we are ready to
move on to the next topic, or if we need to
revisit any concepts within the unit that gave us
difficulties. Once that is complete, we will begin
our work with sorting, classifying, counting and
categorizing data.

measured its size using pennies, and used color
words to describe them. They are excited to

Harvest Parties
Thursday, October 29th is our Autumn Harvest
Party! The kindergarteners will parade at 10:45
and 2:15 and head back to our room for the party
that the parent volunteers have worked hard to
prepare. I ask that you please DO NOT send
your child to school in his/her costume, but send
it in their bag if they wish to bring one. I have set
aside time for “getting ready” before our parade.
for all the “big kids” to see.
Continue working on the 12 word wall words
we have covered in class up to this date. These
are words that they need to quickly identify
and be able to write. (a, I, to, the, see, my, like,
go, is, and, in, it).
Be on the look out for reading homework to
begin coming home at the beginning of
November. These books and activities are
selected based on their individual needs in the
reading process at this time in the school year.
