Dear Families,

(We are sending this newsletter home a day early this week so that it doesn’t get lost in all of the Halloween stuff in the backpacks.)This week the kindergartners worked with the letter Ii. We did many Halloween papers and projects. Please notice the colored flashcards that are included with this packet. The word to is a sight word that the students just need to memorize. The other words are high frequency words that the boys and girls can sound out. Practice reading the little booklets and reviewing flashcards often. That really helps kindergartners learn and remember, making reading easier and more fun.

We welcomed two new kindergartners to our classroom this week. Serenity Freeman is a part of the red team, and Trinity Klemencic is a new member of the blue team.

Next week we will be studying the letter Ss. Sharing next week is something that starts with the letter Ss in a secret sack. Please prepare clues for your child to say at school during sharing time. The clues can be written down if you desire.

Mrs. Daugherty made a boo boo in last week’s newsletter. There IS school on Friday, November 6th!

In case you missed the note sent home earlier, trick-or-treating at the nursing home has been cancelled for this year.

Remember that Mrs. Owens will not be home for trick-or-treating. Mrs. Daugherty has a soccer tournament in Waverly on Saturday and may not be home until about 6:15.

We have noticed that some of the boys and girls are still in need of new crayons. You may replace them with boxes of 16 or 24 crayons. Check with your kindergartner to see if the glue stick needs to be replaced also.

The kindergarten newsletter can now be found on the web! Go to ntknews09.blogspot.com to see any important information or copies of the newsletters.

Have a nice weekend!

Mrs. Daugherty and Mrs. Owens
