Turkeys Everywhere!

This week has been chalk full of learning and fun.  We studied the first thanksgiving with a focus on how our lives are different from the lives of the pilgrims. We revisited shapes and colors with our turkey paintings, and did some writing to give our turkeys voices. Today we will talk about "needs versus wants" with a sorting activity of magazine pictures of food. It should be fun. We also took our taste of tally marks. That was tricky. We will try it again in December. 

Speaking of December, we will have a Giving Tree in the front of the school for anyone interested in donating hats, gloves, and scarves. So feel free to give (or not) to your heart's content. We will be donating the contents of the tree to the SAFE (Support Advocacy Freedom Empowerment), formerly known as Columbia County's Women's Resource Center. You can view their website here:http://www.noexcuse4abuse.com/.

I am looking forward to seeing you at conferences.





And here we are hunting for circles and making tally marks for each one.

Thankful Times

Hey everyone,

We've been talking about being thankful In kindergarten and reading many books in tandem. It's been a blast hearing all your kiddo is thankful for. Ask them! We plan to celebrate our study of "Thankfulness" with a P.J. party (kindergaten only) on Thursday. Wear your warmest P.J.s so you can still go outside!

Pictures went home Monday, did you get yours? Did you perchance get someone else's? We put them in backpacks but they sometimes wander off. Check your child's backpack please!

I'm thankful for all these goofballs! Thanks for letting me teach them.

Health Screening

We had our health screening today. We read a book on the body and talked about how our lungs and heart keep us healthy. Ask your kiddos about all the cool doctors and nurses who helped us out today.

November is the time for Conferences!

Hello and Welcome,

It is already November, and it is a short month. This week is the only week that has a full five days of school. We made our calendars in kindergarten to send home so you can see what we are up to. This weekend is the Harvest Festival, and the 24th and 25th are parent/teacher conferences. I cannot wait to get to share how fantastic your child is. Please check their backpack tonight for your time. We would like the bottom portion returned to school ASAP. If the scheduled time does not work, please contact Sam to see how we can accommodate you.

Also, the Book Fair is on the 14th! This is a great time to find some books for your family. We will be creating wish lists next Monday morning and getting our first peek at what a Book Fair looks like. If you would like to purchase anything our time to buy is 9:30 on Friday the 14th. If you are not interested, that is just fine too.

It has been so wonderful to get to know you and your child. I really enjoy reading their homework and getting to see a little more of you outside school. If you ever have any questions or concerns please let me know.


Have a lovely day.
