Letter Mm

What a fun week!!  This week we learned about the attributes of 2D shapes.  The students enjoyed learning about shapes throughout the week.

They made shapes puzzles.

 Created play-doh shapes 

 Sorted shapes

 And enjoyed some fun time at the carpet center.

 The letter for this week was the letter Mm!  What a marvelous letter it is!

 Marshmallows on the letter M

 We read the book "If You Give A Moose A Muffin".  The students traced their foot for the moose head and made a cute craft.  And we couldn't leave out the yummy muffins!

 Monster Munch!  Milky Ways, M&M's and Marshmallows...Mmmm!!

To celebrate the letter Mm we had a "Monster Mash".  The students made monster hats and played monster games.

 Pin the eye on the monster

 We also enjoyed some more back to school books.  We especially enjoyed beginning the Junie B. Jones Kindergartener series.

Colorful Show and Tell!

Monday - Red

Tuesday - Blue

Wednesday - Green

Thursday - Yellow

Throughout the week we will be beginning to learn how to spell and read these color words.  Start making flashcards at home to help your child read color words (red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, brown, black, white, pink) by sight.

Signed Papers

Beginning this week and continuing throughout the school year, your child will have "signed papers".  This will be a collection of their school work from the previous week.  Signed papers will go home each Wednesday.  Please review your child's progress, sign and return the attached cover page the following day.  Keep all of your child's work at home, reviewing your child's school work with them will help to reinforce skills at school. 

Grandparents' Day Lunch

Open House

The "blog password" is a fun way for students to remind parents to check out the blog and what they have been learning at school.  The class blog allows for the student to share with their parents and family what they have learned in Kindergarten that week.  At the end of each blog post there will be a "blog password," when the student tells me the password at school (remember to whisper, it's top secret :D ) they will receive a special prize.
