We love storybots.com. They have the coolest songs for all the letters of the alphabet. This week we are learning that its OKay to be a K! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyFJHdBDVfk

Happy Halloween!!!! This is going to be a busy week in Kindergarten!   We will be working on the letters Kk and Ll.  Show your parents what kayo kangaroo and lizzy lizard look and sound like.  The k sound can be found in the words kitten, kangaroo, karate and kite. When we make the l sound our toungue does something cool.  Try it and tell me what you feel!  We can find the l sound in the words like, little, Lauren, loud and laundry.  Keep practicing the sounds for all the letters and work on printing them neatly!   In Math, we are going to keep counting and working with numbers to 5.   A big welcome to Miss Case who will be joining our class for the next 6 weeks.  She is completing her teaching internship.  We look forward to learning with her!   Halloween Week Activities: Monday: Scary Hair Day and Pumpkin Decorating. Tuesday: Inside Out/Backwards Day and Buddy Writing Wednesday: Black and Orange Day and Parade of Costumes.  You can change into your costume after lunch! 

This week we will be working on the letters i and j.  They look a lot a like! The letter i is a hard worker just like a and e.  That means it makes 2 sounds. It can be found in many words such as: like, it, if, is, igloo, ice cream, Hilary, Olivia and inchworm.  Jellyfish, jam, jump and jet all begin with the letter j.  Look around and see where else you can find these letters.   Our word of the week is "and". Try and use it in a sentence for your parents. For example: I like dogs and cats!  Last week, we worked hard on the word "to".  Sing the to song for your parents!   We are going to put our detective eyes on this week and examine a pumpkin.  I wonder how tall our pumpkin will be and how many seeds it will have?  We are also going to create some cool pumpkin pictures.   This week the student council is having a candy guess jar.  Each guess is 25 cents.   Congratulations to George. He was the top seller in the whole school for the fall fundraiser! George won his very own laptop! Wow!   Have a super week boys and girls!!
