Halloween and last post

Happy Friday!

We have enjoyed quite a bit of fun and excitement this week. The Parade of Fiction was a great success and it was thrilling to be able to lead the parade! This will be my last post to you as a group.
I hope you know how thankful I am for all of your support and kind words during the last three months. Mrs. Schultz returns on the 13th and with the shorter week and me being out two days I will not do a blog entry next week. I look forward to continuing our relationship and am so excited to still be a part of your child's growth and fun during kindergarten. Starting the 13th, please direct all email communications and questions to Mrs. Schultz.

Upcoming events:
November 7th: Field Trip to the Children's Theater: Please see email and sign up for details

Please don't forget if you are chaperoning that I need your money  no later than Monday. The school needs to pre-pay for the trip. Thank you for your help in this matter.

November 9th: Mrs. Robinson's last day
November 13th: Mrs. Schultz returns
November 15th: Raptor center field trip. I don't have much information on this except it's full day. Once I know more I will communicate it to you asap. The children will need to pack a lunch.

Literacy Centers:

 

This week, we learned the letters of Bailey's name. We worked on lower case b and it's sound. The children practiced matching beginning sounds to each letter, abc order and upper and lower case letter identification. They wrote stories about bats. 

Math:

 



Math was full of fun this week! We counted and sorted candy, used our fidget spinners and fine motor skills to fill pumpkins. The children worked on number order and used higher thinking to add one more while counting. I introduced a new game called " I have, I need to make 10." This is a great game to play at home! We also enjoyed some fun themed centers around Halloween!

 

Thanks for sending in your unwanted candy it made some cute "monsters." FYI they are coming home today so you might want to pull them out of the bookbag.

Many thanks! It is such a pleasure to teach your children!

Hugs, 
Mrs. Hazlett
