It was such a pleasure to see everyone last week on
Conference Day! Thank you so much for
all the support and for all the hard work you are doing at home to make sure
our students are successful! We cannot
do this without you!
Thank you to Sayda's grandma for being our special Mystery Reader this month!
Thank you also to all who have sent apples to
school! We made applesauce with them and
we tasted different kinds of apples and graphed which one was our class
favorite. We will make Rice Crispy
Treats Spiders next week, so look in your child’s folder for ways to contribute
to our October treat! 
We had so much fun on Thursday when our three Centennial
High School Seniors spent the day with us!
They talked to us about the importance of education; they played with us
on the playground at recess; they read us a story, and at the end of the day,
they gave each of our students a Class of 2028, “Future Knight” tee shirt! Can you believe that in 13 years, our sweet
Kindergartners will be graduating high school?!
In the meantime, here is a summary of what we are
learning this month in K:
- In Language Arts, we are focusing on rhyming words and syllables. Ask your child these questions: How do you know when 2 words rhyme? What are syllables? How do you count how many syllables are in a word? We are also working hard at learning sight words, letters and letter sounds. Keep practicing these skills at home, it makes a big difference!
- In math, we are learning how to compare sets of objects using words and signs like greater then, less than, and equal. We are also learning about place value by decomposing teen numbers using tens and ones. Ask your child: What numbers or sets does Allie the alligator (<) like to eat? What does equal mean? If your child still has trouble naming and ordering numbers 0-20, please practice at home with the numbers we sent home. Keep practicing counting to 100 by ones and by tens too!
- In Science, we are exploring the concepts of motion, forces, and gravity. We are learning about how objects move in different ways, and how some things in the sky return to Earth, and some do not.
