November 1 - 5
November 5, 2004
Dear Families,
While studying the letter Tt we discussed teeth. We saw a video that talked about taking care of our teeth. We read the big book called Turnips for Dinner. The kindergartners learned that the letters t and h together make the sound /th/ like in thimble. We learned the word that, and read the booklet Dad, Dan, and I. The boys and girls DO NOT know how to read the words in this booklet yet. They will know how to read these words later on this year. Please notice the yellow flashcards that are included with this packet. Our plan is to send flashcards home as we learn new words. Practice reading the little booklets and reviewing flashcards often. That really helps kindergartners learn and remember!
This week we welcomed a new student to the blue team. Sean Reed-Kerr moved into the town of Traer and started coming to North Tama on Tuesday. This week we also said goodbye to one of the blue group members. Adison Pace’s last day was today (Friday). He is moving to Cedar Falls and attending Cedar Heights School.
Next week we will be studying the letter Oo. Sharing next week is free choice. The Friday sharing students may bring their sharing any day next week.
We have noticed that some of the boys and girls are still in need of new crayons. You may replace them with boxes of 16 or 24 crayons. Check with your kindergartner to see if the glue stick needs to be replaced also.
On Tuesday, November 9th, the town students are dismissed at 12:20 so that teachers can get ready for conferences on that evening. Bus kids will be dismissed at 12:25. Conferences will be held on Tuesday evening. Conferences will also be held on Thursday evening, but the students do not get out early on Thursday. If you find that your conference time does not work for you, please contact us, and we will work out a new time. Mrs. Howard will meet her families in the kindergarten room. Mrs. Owens will meet her families in an office down the hall located across from the drinking fountains and bathrooms. THERE WILL BE NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH.
The kindergarten newsletter can be found on the web! Go to http://ntkindergarten.blogspot.com to see any important information or copies of the newsletters.
Have a nice weekend!
