What a busy and fun week we have ahead of us! This week is our Apple Unit, this is one of my favorite times of the year and I love all the exciting ways we get to incorporate apples into our day. Throughout the week we will be learning all about apples, and also about Johnny Appleseed, his birthday is Saturday. The apple unit will be incorporated into Math, and we have a special Johnny Appleseed packet that will help reinforce Left/Right, Top/Bottom, etc... We will also be graphing with apples, and Wednesday is our taste test! We will taste three different types of apples, and graph our favorite.
**Isabella is our Star of the Week**
Here is a look at the week ahead...
Monday
In School Field Trip permission slip is coming home. Mother Goose will be visiting us this year for Halloween! Last year she visited us and all the children loved her, she really is great! The permission slip and money is due Friday, Oct. 2nd.
Our Letter we are learning is Gg.
All of Letter Oo work was sent home on Friday. Please take a moment to look over this with your child. If the child looks at the corrections I have made, or they see what a great job they have done, it really helps them to see a purpose in doing their best :) Also, we are now starting to use our privacy folders! We usually use them for one or two pages in our reading book, and always for our Math chapter test. This gives me a better understanding of how well each student has grasped the concept. If your child receives a "100%" on a paper it means that we did use privacy folders. Or if your child missed one or two, etc... problems, then I pur a -1, -2, etc... I am very happy with everyone's progress so far, we are all adjusting so well to Kindergarten and having a lot of fun too!
Tuesday
Homework: Letter Gg picture page. This is due on Wednesday.
Wednesday
Apple Tasting! Check out my blog for pictures. We made placemats on Monday for this special treat!!
Thursday
Applesauce Time! Last year I made applesauce with my class and they loved it, and it tasted pretty good too. It was very messy, but fun, so I have decided to do it again :) If you have an apple you would like to donate to our class for the applesauce that would be great!! It takes a lot of them, but if you do not have any apples at home, don't worry, I will make sure I have enough for everyone to help prepare our applesauce.
Friday
In Religion we have been learning about our five senses, so today we will be having a taste test! The students will close their eyes and taste different food items (pretzels, crackers, goldfish, and animal crackers), they will have to guess what each food is using their sense of smell, taste, and touch.
Library books are due back!
Homecoming Pep Rally!
Ladie's Guild Hot Lunch!
Riddle of the Week for homework.
Have a fantastic weekend! Gooo Hawks!
