Weekly news 11/6/11

Can you believe that the first quarter is already over and it is November?! We have a lot going on to prepare for our Kindergarten Feast for Thanksgiving. This week we learned the letters p and j, which we celebrated by wearing our pj's to school on Friday, what a comfy day for all of us..including our parent helper :). In math we are continuing to learn our teen numbers, the children are doing very well with this concept. We finished our color packet and it was sent home on Friday.
Tomorrow we will be going to the library in the morning for our field trip about trees. Thank you to all that volunteered to come with us. There will be more opportunities this year to attend a field trip if you did not get picked this time. Please remember that there is no school Tuesday since the teachers have an all day meeting.
A couple dates to keep in mind this month....
November 14th- parent visitation. This is where we prepare for our Thanksgiving Feast by making items for that day. We ask that each child bring in a white pillowcase, already cut, ( I will send home instructions for this). We also ask that each child has someone to help them make their items, if possible, it can be a parent or grandparent. More information will be sent home this week about this.
November 22nd- Thanksgiving Feast...I will send home more information about this. Parents are not required to attend.
See many of you Wednesday at conferences. If your conference is Wednesday, I will give you your child's report card then.
