What we’re
Workin’ on this week..
Language Arts / Social Studies
This week we will begin a new unit on "Me and My Family." We will be talking and learning about how our families help us change and grow! We will be reading some books and doing some fun activities. We will also learn two new sight words: "a" and "said." Our writing journals are looking awesome! We are practicing writing "I like...." sentences and illustrating a picture to match our words!
Math
This week we will continue our exploration of number sense. This is a time where we will be counting, subatizing (recognizing amounts instantly), having number talks and working on our number of the day. Some things that we will be focusing on are:
1. Counting to 25 and beyond (with and without objects)
2. Counting backwards from 20
3. Reading and writing our numbers
4. Giving the numbers before and after a given number
Please check out your math teachers web page for some of the helpful and fun videos that we have been listening to in class!
*If you have a cool career that uses math, we would love to hear from you! We would love to work with you so that you can share how you use math in your career!

Science
This week in science, we will start our exploration of materials in our world through FOSS kits the district provides for us. We will be focusing on Wood and Paper. We will be using our five senses to explore these materials!
*If you have a cool career that you work with wood or paper exclusively, please contact us! We would love to hear about what you do and possibly have you in to share what you do with our sweet kiddos!
(Last year we had an ear specialist in who explained to the kiddos how she works with devices to help kids with hearing impairments hear with the cochlear implants.)

Special Friends Day
Mark your calendars! Special Friends Day is coming up! This is such a fun time where your child can invite a special friend (grandparent, parent, neighbor, etc.....) to come to our classroom to see all of the wonderful things that have been happening so far in kindergarten. This is an opportunity for your child to also take ownership in THEIR school. They can show their special friend around the school as well as take them to the book fair. More information will be coming about the time that kindergarten special friends time slot is!
Fall Family Picnic
Mark your calendars for a night of fun! More information is to come, but you and your family do not want to miss the Fall Family Picnic on Friday, September 23!
