Happy Veteran's Day!

Recess
Please don't forget as we turn to cooler and eventually cold (yuck!) weather, that Kindergarten goes to recess at 9:45am.  So even if it's predicted to be warmer in the afternoon, be sure to send your child with enough layers for outside recess in the morning.  We will go outside as much as possible weather permitting!  That means 25 degrees or above, as long as it's not snowing or raining.  I talked to the class this week about them eventually needing winter coats, gloves, hats, and scarves!

Writer's Workshop
This week in Writer's workshop we worked on making cards for people.  You have probably seen a lot of their practice cards coming home!  Next week we will start introducing the 6 traits of writing.

Progress Test
We took the 3rd progress test in Superkids this week, and I sent those home yesterday.  Please look over the results, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  We did a very good job!

Thanksgiving Feast 
Thanks to everyone who signed up to donate something for our Mini Feast on the 21st!  I will send home a little piece of paper on Monday with the item you are to send in.  You can send in items anytime between the 15th and the 21st.  Also, don't forget all boys and girls are asked to bring in one piece of fruit by the 21st.  Don't forget to work on those Pilgrim and Native American costumes either!  Whew, that's a lot to remember!  Please let me know if you have any questions.


Sight Words
Can your child read all of the sight words for this 9 weeks? The words are: we, my, like, by, he, for, me, with, she.  If they cannot read all the words, keep practicing at home!!  I will be assessing this skill for the report card after Thanksgiving break.

Superkids
Wednesday we met a new Superkid!  
Here are some questions to prompt discussion at home:
Who is the new Superkid? Icky (short for Ichabod)
What letter is first in Icky's name? I
What sound does i make? /i/
What does Icky like to do? Watch TV and make up new TV shows

Mrs. Deeter
On Wednesday Mrs. Deeter came for our monthly guidance lesson. We learned more about Kelso's wheel and the first two choices for conflict resolution: go to another game, and talk it out.



Muffins With Mom
Looks like everyone had fun at muffins with mom (or friends!) on Wednesday morning! If you couldn't make it this week, our next event is next Wednesday!

Have a great weekend!
