Week of Sept. 8 - Sept. 11

* Red! will be our guided reading book for this week. Don't forget to send it back to school each day in the clear envelope.

* Homework Assignment Sheet #1 is coming home today. It is due this Friday. I will have all Homework Assignment Sheets attached to our Kinder Website should you ever lose yours or want to doublecheck and make sure you are working on the right one.

* Spears PTA will have a meeting this Thursday, Sept. 10 at 9:30 am in the TEAM room by the front office. Lorraine Brock of "Get Organized" will be doing a presentation on getting organized at the beginning of the school year and beyond.

* On Thursday we will wear BLUE to celebrate our color word for this week. We will also go to the library. Your child can turn in their library book prior to Thursday, but definitely by then so they can check out another book.

* Ask your child about our centers for this week! We will be retelling the story of The Hungry Caterpillar, writing words around the room, ABC computer program, making a book in the Name Center, discussing rules in the Science and Social Studies Center, reading big books. They rotate through 2 centers each day and have Friday to finish up any work they need extra time to complete.

* We are learning to count by 5s to 100 and 2s to 30. You can recite these with your child at home or in the car for extra practice.

Thank you for all your wonderful notes and the extra time you spend working with your child at home! I am beginning my assessments this week on each child and will have those results for you at our conference.
