October Newsletter


October Newsletter

We have been very busy already this month.  The children are working on learning more about shapes and patterns as we count forward and backward.  We have focused on the following sight words:  the, and, a, I, go, like, and to.  The class is writing in journals and reading to themselves each day.  We have been going to the Morris Farm once a week with Farmer Abi to learn more about living things, tools, and how to perform a service for others.

We have parent teacher conferences Wednesday, October 24 and Thursday, October 25.  A sign up sheet has been sent home.  If you need another, just send in a note or call 882-7585 or email me at broper@svrsu.org. 

Our first book order has just been shipped!  More book orders will follow.  This is an optional way to build your child’s library.  The PIE book fair (during conferences) is another great opportunity to find great books as well.

As the weather chills I’d like to remind you all to write your child’s name in ANYTHING you want returned home.  This includes coats, hats, mittens, boots and especially SNOWPANTS!  I encourage you all to help your child practice getting in and out of cold weather clothes to gain greater independence with this task.  The more independent each child is, the more time we have for learning and playing.

Please remember to check out our classroom blog! http://msroperskindergarten.blogspot.com/
Sign up for emails and you’ll receive our almost daily updates of all the wonderful things happening in kindergarten.  It’s also a great way to prompt conversations with your child. 

That’s all for now, and remember, we’re in this together! PLEASE let me know of any concerns or questions you might have.
