Dear Families,

While studying the letter Tt we discussed teeth. We saw some videos and read some books that talked about taking care of our teeth. Attached to this newsletter there are 2 “Teeth-on-the-Go” papers that families can help fill out with their children. One is a fill in the blank paper, and one is a tooth brushing chart. Children can finish these papers at home and bring them in for stickers. Children that complete the tooth brushing chart can earn a certificate, too. We read the big book called Turnips for Dinner. The kindergartners learned that the letters t and h together make the sound /th/ like in thimble. We learned the word that, and read the booklet Dad, Dan, and I. The boys and girls DO NOT know how to read the words in this booklet yet. They will know how to read these words later on this year. Please notice the yellow flashcards that are included with this packet. Our plan is to send flashcards home as we learn new words. Practice reading the little booklets and reviewing flashcards often. That really helps kindergartners learn and remember!

Next week we will be studying the letter Oo. Sharing next week is free choice. The Friday sharing students may bring their sharing any day next week.

We have noticed that some of the boys and girls are still in need of new crayons. You may replace them with boxes of 16 or 24 crayons. Check with your kindergartner to see if the glue stick needs to be replaced also.

On Tuesday, November 8th, the town students are dismissed at 12:20 so that teachers can get ready for conferences on that evening. Bus kids will be dismissed at 12:25. Conferences will be held on Tuesday evening. Conferences will also be held on Thursday evening, but the students do not get out early on Thursday. If you find that your conference time does not work for you, please contact us, and we will work out a new time. Mrs. Howard will meet her families in the kindergarten room. Mrs. Owens will meet her families in an office down the hall located across from the drinking fountains and bathrooms. THERE WILL BE NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH.

The kindergarten newsletter can be found on the web! Go to http://northtamakind.blogspot.com to see any important information or copies of the newsletters.

Have a nice weekend!

Mrs. Owens
