We Like To Rhyme All The Time

We are busy being Kindergarten students.  Our days are filled with investigations, explorations, friendship and laughter.  This past week we read a lot of books with rhymes.  We came up with a catch phrase of "We like to rhyme all the time."  Even our poem last week was filled with a rhyming pattern.  Help us rhyme at home.  It is perfectly normal for our rhyme to be a made up word.  Rhyming is a good foundation of being a strong reader.  


Be sure to send library books on Tuesday so that we can check out a new book.  Our library day is every Tuesday.


This week we are learning about "Hh" as in "horse in a house."   Our word wall words are I, brown, black, white.

To celebrate the letter Hh, Friday will be Hilarious Hat Day.  You can create your own hilarious hat to wear to school or you can take an ordinary hat and add decorations to make it hilarious.  Hats will come home on Friday afternoon. 

On Tuesday an August page will be coming home from our calendar notebook.   Ask us how many days are in August.  Help us count the days in August:  counting up from 1 and counting down from 31.  Also, we have been learning the days of the week.  Pick a date on the calendar and help us move our finger up the column to discover the day of the week.  For the month of September we are adding a tally chart and a weather chart to our calendar notebook.  Lots of math skills are taught during our calendar time.

In math we will be discussing patterns and numeral recognition.  We will be making a birthday book this week and discussing the months of the year.

Poetry journals come home on Friday.  This week is a very fun one to act out.  Be prepared for some drama!


Please send juice/snack money on Monday.  Lunch money can be paid at anytime.  All money needs to be labeled for the purpose.

Grade level t-shirt money is to be turned in on Monday.  A letter went home on Thursday about grade level t-shirts that can be worn on Tuesdays.  All proceeds of these shirts go back into the classrooms to update technology.  Thank you for supporting our school during these financial times.

Information about our field trip to Alabama Shakespeare Festival will be coming home this week.  We will be attending the play "The House at Pooh Corner" on September 23.  

Remember I must have it in writing if your child is changing the manner of afternoon transportation.  I am unable to take the word of a child.
