Hi Everyone! I cannot believe that November is almost here! These past two months have flown by. It is so much fun to see how much the kids have already grown in kindergarten this fall. We have been working with our data notebooks, which are binders that each student has to keep track of their progress in kindergarten. It helps every student to see where they are in terms of being secure in our kindergarten standards. Right now, we are working really hard at learning our letter names and sounds, and reading, writing, and sequencing numbers 0-31. A progress report will be coming home soon for you to see exactly where your child is at this point of the year in kindergarten and how that compares to where he/she should be. Along with that, we will be sending home some ideas for you to do to promote learning at home.
Last week, we had the Stroll for a Goal, and it was a huge success! Our Sibley kids raised over $21, 000 dollars, which is $5,000 more than last year! WOW! We had such a fun day going on our walk. Some of the kids even got to jump on the bungee trampolines. You will find fun pictures below!
Our fall party is on Thursday, October 31st, in our classroom. If your child chooses to bring a costume, we will be changing into them after lunch and changing out of them immediately after the party. Please choose costumes carefully! We do not allow scary costumes, any costumes that depict violent or evil characters or weapons of any sort. Please try to choose a costume that your child is able to put on by him/herself since we have limited adult help. The best are costumes they can put over their regular clothes. Also, please label any small pieces so that they come home safely. I apologize for all the reminders, but it sure is nice to have your help to make our fun day go as smoothly as possible.
Starting this Friday and into next week, we will be working on color words. If your child wants to dress to match the colors of the day, you can find the schedule here:
Friday, Nov. 1 – Red & Blue
Monday, Nov. 4 – Yellow & Purple
Tuesday, Nov. 5 – Green & Pink
Wednesday, Nov. 6 – Brown & Orange
Thursday, Nov 7 – Black & White
Friday, Nov 8 – NO SCHOOL
Lost and Found
Our lost and found binds (located in front of the office) are very full. We will be cleaning them out next week and donating and unclaimed items to the Salvations Army. If your child is missing anything, please have him/her take a look by the end of the week. Otherwise, feel free to stop in sometime and look through them to see if anything looks familiar.
