Update for Friday, September 17

Hello! This week we learned about the letter S and our popcorn word was "I." We made snakes, sandwich books, and some cute scarecrows. We also made a class book that was just like I Went Walking. Today we made a stoplight, sunflower snack, and a star scope, and we graphed Skittles. In math we learned about top, middle, bottom and before & after this week. Next week we will finish up this unit with left and right, which is a difficult concept for kindergarteners. Please start working on this at home! We will also be learning about the letter M and our new popcorn word will be "see."

Reminders:

--If you have not yet sent in an art box for you child, please do so next week!

--I sent home new book orders yesterday. These will be due on October 1. Our class code is GMXHN, so use this to order online and earn free books for our classroom! Check out my recommendations on the website for some great books available to you this month.

--I sent home a sign-up sheet for parent/teacher conferences today. Please return this paper as soon as possible, as the conference times are first come, first serve! The sign-up is due no later than next Friday. I will send home your final conference time after I have received all of the papers back.

--I have had a few parents ask about the star stick, so I'm guessing I forgot to explain this at parent night. The kids have a clip on a stick painted yellow, orange and red. If they move their clip, they go to yellow, which is a warning. If they misbehave again and have to move their clip to orange, they get time out for 5 minutes. If they move to red, they get a phone call home and a visit to Mrs. Perkins. If you have questions about this, please let me know!

--Thanks for selling the entertainment books. You should have received your ordered books today. If there was a mistake in your order, please let me know and I will get it taken care of. If you still have not turned in your order or sample book, please send it back right away! It was due last week!

Have a fantastic weekend!
