Dear Families,

During this week we worked with the letter Hh. The kindergartners have started reading!! This week we learned the word a. The kindergartners read the little story called A Present. Reading this booklet over and over will help your child remember that word. We did a lot of evaluation this week. (Report cards will go home next Friday.) We enjoyed our first party this week. During our party day we visited the nursing home and sang some Halloween songs while showing off our costumes. We led the costume parade in the elementary, going into each and every classroom. We watched a Halloween video while getting dressed in our costumes and played “Heads Up Pumpkin Up”.

Next week we are studying the letter Tt. Sharing for next week will be something that starts with the letter Tt.

A great place to stop while trick-or-treating is the Traer Nursing home. Boys and girls can receive a lot of goodies and enjoy walking around without coats. Check out the Traer Star Clipper for the times to visit the nursing home. (We think that children can trick-or-treat from 6:30 - 7:30 at the nursing home.) Unfortunately none of the kindergarten teachers will be home during the trick-or-treating hours on Monday, October 31st. Sorry! We gave the children a treat baggie today.

Please write your child’s name on coats, snowpants, boots, hats and mittens. With 36 children in this room, winter items can get mixed up and having names on the clothing is extremely helpful.

Kindergartners may now bring a new box of crayons to school. The new box of crayons may contain 16 or 24 crayons. A few students need new glue sticks also.

Report cards will be going home next Friday. Please check your child’s bag on that day for this important information on how well your child is doing in kindergarten. Conferences will be held on November 8th and November 10th. We look forward to meeting with all our families on those days. You should be receiving a letter with your conference time in the mail soon. If you discover that your scheduled time does not work, please let us know so that we can reschedule it.

There will be no school for students on Friday, November 11th. Please mark your calendars!

Mrs. Owens
Mrs. Howard
Mrs. Herink
