   🎃 🎃 Kindergarten Weekly News! 🎃 🎃

What a wonderful and busy short week we have had in Kindergarten! Our field trip to The Berry Patch Farm was an absolute blast, and the students had so much fun choosing their pumpkins. We know those special pumpkins have found great homes!

🎃 Halloween Celebrations are Coming!

Halloween is right around the corner! Please keep an eye on your inbox in the coming days for an email from your classroom teacher detailing how you can help our classroom celebrate through donations of items and volunteering your time.

📚 What We Did This Week

• 📐 Math: We officially started Unit 3, kicking off our study of 2D shapes! Students are actively identifying, naming, and building shapes like squares, circles, and triangles. 🟩 ⭕ 🔺

• 📖 Reading & Writing: We launched Unit 3: My Community Heroes around our essential question: "What makes a community?" To bring this unit to life, we had visits from real community heroes—a doctor who is a surgeon and local police officers! They talked with the class about their roles and how they help others. The kids asked fantastic questions and gained a rich understanding of how many people work together to make a community thrive.

• 🔤 Structured Literacy:

  • Phonemic Awareness (Heggerty Routine): We practiced rhyming, identifying syllables, pinpointing initial and final sounds, and segmenting/blending words.

  • Phonics & Letter Formation: Reviewed letters with an in-depth focus on sound-letter relationships and proper handwriting practice.

  • Heart Words: We worked on identifying and reading our high-frequency words: I, was, you, the, a, as, to, and do.

• 🗺️ Social Studies: We learned all about our local communities and practiced basic map skills to understand spatial relationships and navigating places on a map.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's learning journey. Have a wonderful weekend!
