Today kicks off our Kindergarten Apple Week!

We will have so much fun learning about our letters A and a, and tying them to their sounds /a/ for apples! We will be building with apples and toothpicks for apple STEM on Monday, we will be tasting apples and apple juice and graphing data on Tuesday, on Wednesday we will be making/painting an apple book, on Thursday we will be making apple sauce (this can replace their home-brought snack), and on Friday we will be making apple print art. Please let me know if something has changed and your child isn’t able to eat the apples with us this week.

Your kindergartener is welcome to bring in one apple to add to the apple sauce, you can send it on Tuesday or Wednesday, and we will put their name on it. Your kindergartener will get to use the apple peeler to peel and slice the apple they brought!

We are now beginning Unit 1 in Language Arts. Below are the sight words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks. We will work on syllables, rhyming, identifying the beginning and ending sounds of words, and writing our names. 

In math, we are sorting and counting objects, and counting by ones, showing and writing numbers up to 5. We will be using Skittles this week for sorting and counting, you signed permission for Skittles at the beginning of the school year, please let me know if anything has changed and you do not want your child to use Skittles.
