Week of September 15th










Dear Families,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SETH!

A paper copy of this newsletter comes home on Fridays, but the blog has more than just what comes home. Visit mrssampleskindergarten.blogspot.com for pictures of quality work and fun happenings that you won't see anywhere else! We found a very cool praying mantis on one of our nature hikes. He was amazing! 

To clarify, folders only come home on Friday unless there is important information that needs to get home to you sooner! 

Books Read: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, A Caterpillar's Wish, Butterfly Suits, I'm a Caterpillar, Butterfly Life Cycle and a variety of Eric Carle books.

Animated Alphabet is our approach to phonemic awareness and spelling. The letters are taught through a multi sensory approach of music, dance, characters and signs which help the students hold onto that information. The character we learned this week was Ollie Ostrich. 

In math we are getting to know numbers, introducing attributes and sorting, multisensory counting, counting backwards, patterns and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week.

We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
