Online Goodies for you

Hello parents! I want to make you aware of two great online resources. The first is Scholastic Book Clubs Online Ordering. Each month, we will send home one or more book order magazines with your child. You can select the books you want to purchase and order them online. Just click on the link above, and then enter the username and password:

User Name: 123kinderstreet
Password: bookorders


Every time you order online, our class gets free books! You can also fill out the order form on the back of the magazine and send in a check if you prefer. Either way, our class builds up points to purchase books and materials for the classroom. Scholastic books are also high quality and inexpensive.

We also want to let you know about PayPams, an online service that tracks your child's lunch account. Just go to the PayPams website and register. They also have a pre-pay service for a small fee.

Have a terrific weekend!
Mrs. C & Mrs. J

Back to School Night

Back To School Night was wonderful! Thanks to you who came out last night. We hope that the presentations were informative and that we were able to answer your questions. We look forward to partnering with you over the coming months.

In K this week, we have been learning about sorting by different attributes, and using a variety of manipulatives to explore this concept. Mrs. C showed the students attribute blocks that were different shapes, sizes and colors and asked students to compare them. "Are these the same or different? How are they the same? Why are they different?" Try some sorting with your child at home by allowing them to help sort and match socks (i.e. put all the dark/striped/ruffled socks in a pile, or separate adult socks and kid socks). Compare socks (i.e. how are these pairs of socks the same, or what is different about them).

In Language Arts, we learned a mouthful of a phrase: Environmental Print. This is simply words that are all around you. There are many words on signs, food labels, and storefronts that four and five year olds can already recognize and "read". We like to begin our reading curriculum by tapping into what the students already know and building on their self-confidence. We watched a powerpoint movie of environmental print, and all of the students were able to read those words. If you would like to download that powerpoint to watch it at home, just click here.

We leave you for today with this thought...talk to your child each afternoon about their day using specific questions (i.e. who did you eat lunch with? Which is your favorite math tub? What did you write about in your Story Journal today? Tell me about your science experiment, etc.) Use the class schedule to help guide your questions or to get an idea of what to ask about.

You may be surprised to hear all the things we do all day in K!

Have fun,
Mrs. Jenkins & Mrs. C
