KINDERGARTEN IS FALLING FOR FALL!

What a fun day we had on Friday with the Vocabulary Parade! Thank you to all of the parents who came and joined in the fun. The children looked great and hopefully learned some new words in the process.

We really enjoyed meeting with all the parents this week, discussing your child's progress, and getting to know all of you a little better. It is so important for us to work together as a team in your child's education.

We completed our unit on animals from A-Z this week and will be going to the Zoo on Friday, September 30th. If you, as a parent, intend to go, please fill out the form that was sent home yesterday and return to school by Wednesday, September 28th.

We also sent home our first Kindergarten Project of the year. Please help your child to turn the pumpkin into a "character pumpkin." Be creative! Google it and come up with some great ideas! These pumpkins will be put into our "Patch" in the hallway for all to view! These are due on Friday, September 30th.

This next week, we will be testing mastery of skills for the report card.

• recognizing and naming A-Z
• recognizing and naming a-z
• writiing A-Z
• sight words
• counting to 25
• identifyiing 1-10
• writing 1-10
• identifying 2D shapes
• sorting objects into given categories
• comparing objects (taller, shorter, longer, heavier, lighter)

We hope everyone has a great weekend! Enjoy the pictures below of your precious children in the vocabulary parade!

Blessings,

A big thank you to all the parents who went with us to the Apple Orchard. We had a beautiful day for our trip and got to ride on the new Eagle Bus! That was very exciting! We learned a lot about apples and even got to pick one from a tree! For the rest of this month, we will be continuing our study of apples. We have already experimented, tasted, graphed, painted, and read books all about them.

We are quickly coming to an end of our study of animals from A-Z. We have been learning about an animal that starts with each letter, the sound that the letter makes, as well as, the habitats and diet of each animal. We have learned so much about mammals, carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores.
