Weekly Update 9/25



Hi Kindergarten Families,

We are excited to welcome Fall this week!  This week is apple week in honor or Johnny Appleseed day on Tuesday, and the beginning of our first science unit on properties.  We would like to ask each child to bring in 1 apple by Wednesday. We will study our apples, describe them, and learn about the life cycle of apples and apple trees.  We would also like to do a taste test of different apples, and make apple sauce! If you have any concerns with your child tasting apples or apple sauce, please let me know!

Specials schedule:
Monday - Music
Tuesday - Art
Wednesday - Art
Thursday - Art
Friday - P.E.

Homework:
We will be sending home 1-2 paper books this week to have your child read to you.  Remind them of their reading ready hands and pointing to each word.  Ask them to point out the sight words to you!

We hope to have iPad cases this week and when iPads are ready to come home, I will email you to let you know!  One really awesome part of our reading program, Wonders, is the opportunity to read the same books on the iPad that we read in small group instruction.  We will start assigning reading to do at home on the iPad soon!
