It's Been Too Long!

It has been quite a while since I have sent out some info, so I'm apologizing now for all that this post will entail!  We have just been so busy lately that I have a lot to share!  So... here we go:

Super Kids
We have met not 1, but 3 new friends this week!  Tic, Tac, and Toc are 3 good friends who get themselves into "triple trouble!"  They love playing games and sports, as well as listening to and making music.  As we work through this unit, we will be working on letter formation for the letter Tt, as well as the sound /t/.  Continue working with your child on working out sounds in words to hear each part.




The Parent Portal has also been updated.  There are 2 new books to read, as well as a new game to play!


Math
We have been really busy in math lately, learning lots of new games.  Last week we learned a game called "Train Games."  The kids rolled a die and got to build a train using that number of cubes.  The first one to create a train of 10 cubes was the winner.  Check out these pictures.

The other day we played a game using a Teen's Frame.  This board has 20 squares on it.  The kids worked with a partner to spin a number and then show it on their board using the correct number of counters.  Here are a few pics from that game.

The last math game we have learned is called "Top It."  It is a lot like the card game "War."  You will have the chance to play this game for tonight's math homework.  Here are some pictures from yesterday.

On Monday I will be sending home information about how you can access our Online portion of our Everyday Math series and play some of these games at home!

A Bit of Fun!

We also got to celebrate earning our 20 perfect days of attendance this week.  We had a popsicle party to celebrate our accomplishments.  We only need 16 more perfect days to earn another party!

Zeek, Titus, Annie, and Cash enjoy their popsicles!

Thanksgiving Fun

We took some time to make a craft for Thanksgiving.  The kids each made their own turkey, and then wrote 4 things they are thankful for.  These are on display in the hallway.

Our Kindergarten Mini-Feast is on Tuesday, November 26.  More information about this will be coming home on Friday!  Be on the look out for these details!

I have one final picture to leave you with....  I couldn't pass up sharing the view from my beach chair last week.  Aaaahhhhh...... Mexico!
