Tuesday!

Halloween Program

Don't forget our Kindergarten Halloween program is this Thursday from 6-7pm.  The invitation was sent home in green folders before Fall Break, and I will send a reminder home Thursday.  The boys and girls have been working hard learning songs, poems, and jokes.  It will be a fun night for them to show off their talents (in costume, of course).  Kindergartners should come dressed in their Halloween costume and report to their classroom at 6:00.  Parents and guests may then proceed to the gym to find a seat.  The students will be parading into the gym to pose for pictures, and then will be entertaining you with a selection of Halloween songs, poems, and jokes!  You may pick up your child from his/her classroom at the conclusion of the program.  Costumes with blood, weapons, and gore are discouraged. 

Everyday Math

Here are the skills we have been (or will be) working on in math this week:

• Number writing
• Describing and understanding position words
• Representing numbers in different ways
• Reading numbers and counting 1-1 by playing Spin a Number
• Ordering numbers 0-10
• Representing quantities with numerals

Superkids

Yesterday, we took our second progress test for Superkids.  Those are graded and in folders today.  Please look over them and let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  Overall we did really well!

Creekside Pumpkin Decorating Contest
If you are interested in your child participating in this contest, please have them bring their decorated pumpkin October 27th or 28th.  They need to turn it in to Mrs. Garrett in the art room one of those two mornings.  The pumpkins will be on display for voting those few days.  No carved pumpkins!  There will be prizes for scariest, most creative, and funniest.  Pumpkins will be broght home on Friday the 28th.
