Reading Logs Are Due!
Reading
Comprehension: We are continuing to work on listening
attentively to books and remember the sequence of the story and the important
details. You can practice at home by
discussing and retelling the books you read.
Comprehension Learning Target: I can
use my schema to talk to others about my understanding.
Phonics: Our classes celebrate learning every month by
honoring students who meet specific goals.
In Nov., we will honor students who can identify all capital and
lowercase letters consistently by Nov. 14.
Keep practicing everyday!
Phonics Learning Target: I can
identify letters and produce their sounds.
I can read sight words:
I, and, the, like, see, we, a,
to, come, me
Writing
Practice writing with your child regularly. Writing is a terrific family activity. You can write true stories about things you
have done together or get creative and write made-up stories. Often Kindergartners lack confidence when it
comes to writing, so writing at home will provide the extra guided practice to
help your child find their inner author.
Learning Target:
I can write to tell a story.
Math
For math we are continuing our work with counting, number
writing, matching numeral/labeling how many objects are in a group. We will
continue to work with the following shapes:
circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon. When talking about them
remember to have your child use the terms: straight edges, corners (vertices),
angles, slant, no straight edges, flat, 2-dimensional.
Math Learning Target:
I can name and describe 2D shapes: circle, square, triangle, rectangle,
and hexagon.
Questions to Ask Your Child to Spark Conversations
Tell me the wildest story you can think of.
Which letter sounds do you think are the trickiest?
Which number do you think is the hardest to write.
If you could do anywhere, where would you go?
Other News, Notes and Reminders
St. Catherine’s Commons Costume Parade: On Wednesday, October 29, students will take
a walking field trip for a costume parade. If you volunteered to chaperone, you
are welcome. Please arrive at 1:20pm to
help students put costumes on. Remember
costumes should not be worn to school.
We will change in the afternoon.
All costumes should fit over your child’s clothes. We are unable to put
makeup on. Please send a bag for collecting candy.
Guided Reading: No Guided Reading books this week due to the
quarter end.
Thanksgiving
Feast: We will be enjoying a Thanksgiving Feast on Monday, November 24th. Each child will need to bring following items
during the week of November 17-21. Mrs.
Conran and Mrs. Caya are supplying the turkeys.
If you have questions or concerns about your items, please ask your
classroom teacher. We will need lots of
helpers on this day to serve the meal and clean up afterwards. The times will be 10am – 12:30pm. Please let us know if you can help.
