KINDERGARTEN is collecting "used" shoes, of all sizes, for an engineering project and service learning project. We will be using the engineering process to improve a pair of shoes while tying the engineering design process into our study of Fairy Tales. This unit is a kindergarten favorite!! All shoes will be donated to charity when our engineering unit is completed. We need all the "used" shoes we can get! So, start cleaning out those closets and donate some shoes to our service learning project!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

The kindergartners will be having a Thanksgiving Feast in our classrooms on Friday, November 17th. Due to space limitations, this will be for learners and teachers only. Letters went home this week in your child's folder about donations for feast items. If you did not receive yours, please contact your teacher.

Next week.....

Language Arts

Our two new word wall words next week are: "is" and "my". We are up to 18 words!! We love to find these words in our leveled reading books!

We are also still reviewing rhyming words, syllables, and reading/writing CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words.

Social Studies
We will discuss why we have Thanksgiving and what we are thankful for in our lives.

Math
We will continue to work on counting to 50, comparing numbers using words like greater than and less than, and skip counting by 10s to 50. Learners will also work on identifying a number that is one more or one less than a given number.

Science:
To tag along with the Fairy Tale unit in Language Arts, we will be begin our engineering project on redesigning and improving shoes. We will be collaborating with our TCE 5th graders to help with the technology aspect of the project.
