September 18, 2015



Hello Everyone!

It was so wonderful to see you all last night at open house! It was the best attended open house I have had in my 15 years here in kindergarten! Thank you all for making it such and collaborative event.

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 take daily nature walks and look for specific items that will be posted on there as well. Feel free to leave your comments and join in the fun.

To clarify, folders only come home on Friday unless there is important information that needs to get home to you sooner! This week please look for the permission slip to Rocky Ridge as well as a request for a certain kind of fruit you might bring in for our "Very Hungry Caterpillar fruit salad" we are making on Monday. 

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

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 Mimi Mermaid.

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)
