The week at a glance

This week we finished up colors and also learned about shapes.  One hands-on activity we did was make shapes with Pixie Sticks.  It seemed more challenging for some than I was expecting, so it was a good chance for me to observe the students in action.  The kindergarten benchmark includes circle. oval, square, rectangle, trapezoid, rhombus (diamond), and hexagon.

The students really enjoyed the color songs these past two weeks.  You can locate the color songs on You Tube if you want to review them at home.  We mainly did the songs to learn how to spell the color words. 

I sent home the October homework with the Book-It certificates today.  Congratulations to those students who turned them in!

Please remember to send in the family circle map homework by Thursday next week.  The due date that came home stated Friday, but the students do not have school.  I will gladly accept the homework on Friday though.
