 Hello Families,

To listen and practice "Five Little Pumpkins" Click Here

This week we are beginning to wrap up our Fall unit. 

Students have also begun learning a new song. We will keep learning our "Five Little Pumpkins" song until Halloween. There are many skills the kids can practice using this poem: they can practice counting and using their own fingers,  making connections between text and pictures as well as practicing pre-reading skills such as tracking text with their index finger, following text from left to right and top to bottom, as well ass using oral language and exploring dramatic play. 

The song will be placed in their "Songs and Poems Book" and will come home next week. 

In the meantime you can help them practice by clicking the link above. 

Weekly Update

This past week in Kindergarten we continued our fall inquiry. 

The highlight of our week was jumping in the leaves, then going back inside to practice reading our fall song. Most of the kids brought home their first song in their Songs and Poems book: "Autumn Leaves" 

Pease read the first page of your child's Songs and Poems folder.  It contains information about how to use and enjoy the songs and poems with your child. 

Please make sure the folder comes back to school in your child's backpack on their first day back to school after the long weekend. 

In art, students explored being thankful for the important things in their lives lives: mom, dad, siblings, a place to call home, friends (please see the picture above) and many others. 

We wrapped up the week with making decorative turkeys. Please look above for a picture of our flock!
