 Our Learning This Week:

We are almost finished our pumpkin art project, which has many steps!  We have been doing a lot of color mixing to create the orange and green we need in our work.  Please ask your child what two colors they needed to make orange and what two colors were needed to create green.  We have continued to discuss and think about the Zones of Regulation.  The students are very enthusiastic about using their drama skills to show various emotions. 

Google Classroom - Please remember to visit our google classroom from time to time, especially if your child is sick and away from school.  It has new posts every Friday to help families know what their child is learning in kindergarten.


Upcoming Dates to Remember:

Friday, October 16 PM class attends (8:30 to 12:40)

Thursday, October 22 - Library book Exchange (Please make sure your child's previous book has been returned)

Friday, October 23 AM class attends (8:30 to 12:40)

Wednesday, October 28 - Photo RETAKE day

 

Thursday Oct 29 - PUMPKINFEST!

 

Families are invited to carve pumpkins at home and bring them to "Mrs. Laser's Pumpkin Patch" on the morning of

Oct. 29. Our class will have a sign for our area. It is close to the natural playground, which is the enclosed area

with log seats.

Students will take their pumpkin home after school on Oct 29. The students will be dismissed from the pumpkin patch to make the transition easier.



The Kinders have been really enthusiastic about learning the Zones of Regulation.  It would be fun to consolidate their learning if families could tie the Zones of Regulation into their pumpkin carving experience.  Please talk to your child about the emotions in the four zones and pick one to represent with their pumpkin.  Here are the Zones:

Red:  Angry, Mad,  Aggressive, Yelling, Out of Control

Yellow: Jealous, Surprised, Anxious, Silly,  Confused

Blue:  Sad, Tired, Upset, Sick, Bored

Green: Calm, Good, Ready to Learn, Content,  Proud, Happy







Please identify the zone of the pumpkin with a sign to accompany it or paint the pumpkin the zone color.


Children are invited to wear their Halloween costumes to school on Thursday October 29 if they wish. 

Friday, October 30 - PD day (No school)

  Our Learning This Week: We have been working on looking at the attributes of 2-D shapes in Math and building our math vocabulary with words like octagon, rhombus and perimeter.  Ms. Cardone read a story called "You Hold Me Up" by Monique Gray Smith.  There was a beautiful discussion on how the people in our lives hold us up. Please visit the google classroom to see Monique read this book.  Today, we had SO much fun making pretty paper based on the illustrations from Eric Carle.   Note: Fun Snack is a monthly treat that the children always look forward to.  I just want to make sure that all parents saw the email that was sent home earlier this week from the school council.  If you missed it, I have it below: Kindergarten  Fun   Snack  Order due this Friday, Nov.13   Good Day Kindergarten Families, Please see the message below from the Tuscany School Council  Fun   Snack  Team: Hello Kinder Parents!

  Our Learning This Week:     We focused on writing a simple sentence.  We learned that finger spaces between the words are very important to help us read the sentence.  We also talked about starting a sentence with an upper-case letter and ending it with a period.  In Math, we are beginning to explore measurement.  We talked about the terms "short" and "tall" being words referring to "height".  We used this vocabulary in a project where we used our shoes to help us understand the real height of a typical bison. (See photo above) Thank You! Soft and squishy playdough was donated by Troy, Adrien, Victoria,  Arabelle and Oliver. L  Thanks SO much!  We are good and don't need anymore to come in.  Sad news: Tomorrow is Ms. Cardone's last day with us.  We are going to miss her so much, but we are excited and happy for her to begin her own teaching career.  Her future students will be very fortunate to have such a warm and ...
