Today we are starting our new theme: Nutrition! We'll be talking about healthy choices and food groups.
We're also working on writing numbers 1-5. Many students are writing them backwards. If your child is writing them at home, please make sure they are moving left to right on the page.
Here is a link to the song, "I Can Write My Numbers" that we've been using in class. It's a fun way to remember how to write 0-9. If you're wanting to review at home, ask them to write the numbers on your back with their finger, in the air with their hand, or on paper! Good luck!

The Environment
We just finished up our theme unit on the environment. We ended last week with green tye die shirts which the students were very excited about! (Pictures to come tomorrow.)
They have all taken home a green Save the Earth club checklist. When they fill it in with 30 check marks, they can bring it back for their Save the Earth membership card and earth key chain.
We talked a lot about the 3 R's. Ask your child to show you with their hands what each of them looks like and means! We had some interesting analogies offered in class!
Also, a sheet went home called "Which Bin does it go in?" The students are supposed to share their new knowledge with someone at home.

The Halloween Party
We had a blast at our Kindergarten Halloween Party. One of the funniest moments was when we were nearing the end of the day and one student said, "So when is the party going to start?" Evidently, it's not a party unless there are balloons and cake!
The students all came dressed up in some very creative costumes- good job parents! We played some games- bat bowling, pin the broom on the witch, and ghost ball toss. We did a mini parade for some of the classes and had some very creatively themed snacks. Thanks to all parents who helped out with that. Mrs. B's class did a couple of dances we'd been working on: the Skeleton Dance, the Monster Mash and a simplified version of Thriller.
Our Halloween Snack: Alien Apples, Pumpkin Marshmallows and Bone Breadsticks. (The kids asked, "Are these real bones?")
