Tying Shoe Club:

I will be starting a Tying the Shoe Club after Christmas Break. Students that can show me they can tying their shoes will get their name up in the hallway for everyone to see ! Please have students practice tying their own shoes.

Boots:

Feel free to send your child in with snow boots. Please also send a change of shoes for them to change into.

Coats:

Please make sure your child brings a coat to school everyday. At this point in the year your child should be able to zip up their own coat. They will not be allowed outside for lunch recess without one.

Zero the Hero:

The next Zero the Hero day is on Thursday November 25th  Please have your child wear their superhero shirt.

Snack:

We have plenty of snack for the next couple weeks.

Extra clothes:

Please send in extra pants due in case of accidents or falling in wet snow.

Readers corner:

• When reading at night with your child ask them to find sight words in books.
• Ask them what author does and Illstrator does?
• Ask what happened in the beginning of the story, middle, and end of story.

I Can Read:

I sent home 5 I can read sight words. These words need to be practiced at home. Your child will get weekly tests on these words. They just have to be able to read all 5 words to move onto a new list. If your child misses a word it will be highlighted and they will stay on that list.

Fun ways to practice sight words:

• magnetic letters building them
• flash cards
• writing them  in fun colors with crayons, colored pencils, or markers, Bingo doppers
• writing them in saving cream, sand, or rice
• Gel in a zip lock bag and have them trace it.
• Tape sight words around the house
• Memory game with them
• Say a sight word have them tap it with a fly swatter
• Tape them to floor have them hop on the sight word
• Pinterest has great ideas too!!

Thanksgiving Lunch:

On November 25th we will be having a classroom Thanksgiving lunch. If your child does not like turkey, corn, mashed potatoes. Free feel to send in a lunch or buy hot lunch.

Donors Choose: HELP PLEASE!! Even if people can only afford to donate $1 or more!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have put in a Donors Choose request for some new flexible seating options for your classroom. This is a great organization that you can donate directly to a teachers cause for things they need for their classroom. The money goes directly in an account for teachers to buy specific items listed. Flexible seating is great for students learning. They can get their wiggles out and still learn in the process. I am planning on starting ours next week.  I am looking for more wobble stools (which is very popular in our class), kneeing table (if students want to knee or sit to complete work), more seating for our classroom library area. I have about $335 (I believe) left to go to be able to buy these for our class. Every $1 helps fund this project. I have until December 10th to get it funded!  If you know anyone that wants to donate to my cause it is a tax write off.  Here is my link feel free to share it with anyone you know. Also feel free to post it on Facebook.

Zoophonics:

Candy land:

I have a fun idea for our the class to play letter/ sound Candy land. Please help me so we can play this fun game in class in November 15th. In order for use to play it I need the class to learn letters and sounds.  Please keep practicing them at home as we practice them at school!!  My version will be a toned down version. I will not be buying all these fun decorations. LOL!! Here is a picture of a version my favorite kindergarten blogger has created in his classroom. I will definitely take lots of pictures to send.

 

Lice:

It is the time of year where lice can be spread around.  We currently do not have anyone with it in our classroom. But I like to make sure everyone knows how to prevent it.  To help prevent it make sure you spray products in your child’s hair. (Little Fairy Tales makes spray with Rosemary and Tea Tree Oil). Hair spray, gel, or mousse. Girls keeping long hair in breads or pony tails.

Sight word ideas:

Make it fun!  You always make flash cards with them and use a fly swatter and hit them.
