We had a wonderful first week in Kindergarten! We have spent time getting to know each other's names and will continue to do so next week. 





We have spent the week doing guided discoveries of different things and materials in our classroom. This will help us to use materials correctly and to promote independence. 


We have read many stories this week. Ask your student about Sarah Jane Hartwell in First Day Jitters or what it means to be a "bucket filler." We read a story entitled Have You Filled a Bucket Today? that talks about being kind to others. 

We started our centers projects today! The students followed the different icons according to their color groups to complete their work! They did a great job!

In math we started unit 1! We will be working with the numbers 1-5. We are learning how to use the different math manipulatives as well as working on following directions. 

It was great to see so many of you at Open house! If you did not make it to Open House, I had a sign up sheet for a conference in December. More information will go home as we get closer to the conference day. I also sent home a Who Is This? page for anyone who did not make it to the Open House. Please draw it as your face and then under the flap that says This Is.... You can write Sadie's Mom or Sadie's Dad. We will make this into a class book for all to enjoy!

A few reminders:

*Please send in the $5 to cover the cost of the field trip t-shirt. We are ordering them soon and they are so helpful when we are on a field trip!

*Please send in any paperwork you may still have at home from orientation.

*Let me know if I made any mistakes on the contact sheet that home today.
