 * === October Newsletter[[image:school_backbus.png align="right"]] ===

October is here already?! We are now in the groove of learning. September is somewhat overwhelming for kindergarten. We have rules to learn and listen to and we are learning how to read and write and count.

//Respect// has been a big word we have used a lot so far. The next character word for October is //responsibility//. Each of you will receive a “Responsibility Learning Contract” to read with your child and sign. We are all responsible to help our “Kinder-Kids” to learn. Your partnership with me is essential and very much appreciated!!! Thanks for doing homework with your child. Thanks for getting it turned in. Thanks for going through your child’s folder every evening and seeing what they brought home from class. It may not look like much—but it is. They really work hard every day. Also, those behavior slips are so helpful to keep you informed with how things are going in the classroom. Most of you are returning those signed everyday.

The first week of October we will take a closer look at the inside of apples and pumpkins. We will make comparisons using our 5 senses just like a scientist would do. The last Friday of the month (29th) in the afternoon we will have a “Harvest Fest.” We do not celebrate Halloween. More info. will be coming with details.

Field Trip on Friday, October 8 to the Fire Department. Thanks for getting those permission slips in. Remember, if you want to come along you must go through the office first. We will be learning the letters Dd, Gg, Ii, Ff, Hh, Ll and Bb. Remember to go over the letter sounds every chance you can get with your child. In order to read they must know these sounds. Also those sight words are very important to go over regularly. Here is a list thru October: a, my, the, I, like, am, at, cat, an, can, man, //plus// we will begin to learn to read the color words. It is accumulative so keeping up with our new words and letters every week is so very important!

THANKS parents! Mrs. Buford || == Events/Homework ==
