October 1st - 5th

What We're Working on This Week:



Language Arts

This week we will work on writing "I like_____.  ______ are _______." sentences in our journals.
I like pumpkins.
Pumpkins are orange.

 We will learn two new word wall words: go / but.

We will also continue our unit on rhyming words and Nursery Rhymes! We have been talking about word families and how rhyming words are in a word family. 
Practice rhyming at home!  You can practice in the car, at dinner, or when you read together! 



Social Studies

We are staring a new unit called: Our Country, the Land We Love!
We will be learning about our country, the United States of America, and this week we will focus on learning the Pledge of Allegiance.  You can practice this at home too!  




Math

In Math this week, we will be practicing our awesome addition skills! We will learn many strategies for how to solve addition problems. These include using counters, drawing pictures, counting our fingers, and using a number line to count and add! 


 

At home, we would love for you to continue practice counting, reading, comparing, and writing your numbers with your children! Thank you for encouraging this!





Science

In Science this week we will be starting a new unit all about force! We will learn about pushes and pulls and how objects move! We are excited about doing some hands-on exploring to see just how force and motion makes things move!!




Library Day - Mondays 

Students from all Kindergarten classes will go to library each Monday to return their old books and get new books! Please help them to remember to put the library book in their backpacks on Sunday evenings so they can get a new book on Monday! We have been learning about different types of books in the library, how to treat our books, and how to choose a good book! This Monday we will learn how to use shelf markers to find books in the shelves!






Terrific Tiny Texans

Each week we will be spotlighting a special TCE Tiny Texan from each class. This is someone who we've seen going above and beyond and doing a fabulous job in class! They will get to be our line leader for the week, and they will get to fill out a STAR STUDENT poster to share during family meetings. This weeks texans are:
K1:  Max Reed 
K2:  Aarav Deshmukh
K3: Brooklyn Ramsey
K4: Tatum Frosk

Fall Conferences

We are so happy that the district has given us a day to set aside for fall conferences this year! We look forward to meeting with all of you about the amazing things your child is doing in Kindergarten so far. During our Fall Conference, you will get information about your child's beginning of year assessments, how they are doing in class currently, and some resources you can work on at home with your child! You should have received a link to sign up for a Fall Conference from your child's homeroom teacher. If not, you can view the links here:
