NUMBERS ABOUT ME
This week the students concluded their Numbers About Me sharing, learning a bit more about one another and getting comfortable in presenting information to their classmates.

MY HOUSE
Your child created a small model of their house for their “family” to be stored in. Many are anxious to take them home, though we will have them on display at school for some drama and language arts activities over the coming week.

CHIME IN FOLDERS
A new poem will be placed in this folder on most Fridays. Please keep all of the poems together in the folder, and your child will soon have a collection of poems, chants and songs that they will hopefully be excited to recite. You will notice that patterning and/or picture cues will be used a great deal. The goal is to have fun and feel a sense of mastery in the beginning stages of reading.

FIELD TRIP FUN
Both Kindergarten classes will depart on Wednesday (after the class presentations at chapel) for our field trip to the Corn Maze (about 10 min. south of S. Perimeter Hwy.), which will kick off some of our upcoming class activities, including some study of trees and changes of the seasons. Departure from the school is at 9:45 a.m. and our planned departure from the Corn Maze is 1:30 p.m. Thank you to all the volunteer drivers. We look forward to your participation in our field trips this year!

SPiRIT WEEK FUN
Each day of the week brings some new adventure to school, which our class will participate in on Monday and Friday:

• Monday - Backwards Day
• Wednesday - We will not participate in Pajama Day at this time due to our Field Trip, but will have our own class Pajama Party at a later date!
• Friday - Color Day - Our class has been designated to wear Yellow! We'll also participate in the Terry Fox Walk with the whole school, raising awareness and funds for those with cancer. A "Tasks for Terry" handout will be brought home with your child, on which they are asked to note specials tasks that they do as acts to help others, with an optional donation to the Terry Fox Foundation as part of this service work.
