Mrs. Herbic’s Kindergarten News
Week of November 17th-November 21st, 2008

This coming week, we will focus on the letter Ll. Ll makes the sound /l/ like in lamp, lollypop, and Lizzy the Lizzard! We will be learning how to write the letter Ll too! Although we will focus on Ll, students are exposed to all the letters in the alphabet on a daily basis! Our theme will be Thanksgiving!   
 

In Math, we will be graphing the weather, working with the calendar, counting by 1’s, 5's and 10’s! We will be working on identifying yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We will be identifying the terms “most” and “least.” Keep counting at home! Students have been introduced to tally marks too! Students should be able to count to 50 by the end of the quarter without skipping any numbers. Have your child count pennies at home. Students have been introduced to pennies and that pennies are worth one cent. Encourage your child to create patterns with objects at home too.    

 
In Social Studies, we will learn about the Pilgrims and Native Americans! We will be learning about a liquid and a solid. We will make and shake our own butter!

BOOK-IT: November Book Lists can be turned in after the Thanksgiving break. Please have Book Lists to me no later than December 1st.

PILLOWS: Our reading center could sure use some old pillows! If you happen to have some old pillows laying around your house and would like to donate them to our classroom, we would be so happy!

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: I look forward to meeting with each of you at Parent Teacher Conferences this week! 
 

SNACKS: Please make sure you send enough snacks on your child’s assigned snack day. We have a total of 24 friends in our classroom. Thanks!  

KINDERGARTEN THANKSGIVING FEAST: Our classroom will be having a Thanksgiving Feast at the end of November. Students will dress up as Native Americans (head dress, vest, and necklace). We will make our own butter. Ms. Palmers Pilgrims will join us for our feast. Please make sure your child's special, assigned, item is at school by November 20th. THANKS!
