Our Week in Community Kindergarten:

The students enjoyed mixing colors this week.  They created various shades of orange and green for their pumpkin art.  Our guided drawing was of an “ox” and an “ax”.  The children are beginning to feel more confident and risk taking in their guided drawing experiences.  In Math, we solved a problem that required “5” to be broken up in several ways. 
 Feel free to send in “A” and “X” objects to school on Friday and Monday if you would like. 

Our Week in French Kindergarten
 This week we have started to learn all about Halloween. We created our own haunted houses and practiced saying creatures or other spooky things that could live in them- can your kiddos tell you any new words they have learned this week? 
In Math, we focused on breaking number 3 up into different parts and different ways it can be represented.

This year’s Pumpkin Fest will be on Thursday, October 31st.

Please indicate the following information on the pumpkin or an attached card/paper: your child’s/children’s name, grade, and teacher. The pumpkins will be put on display in our gymnasium. Each class will have the opportunity to view the pumpkin carvings during the school day on October 31st during a scheduled time. Parents and siblings are invited to join their children during their scheduled viewing time. Please park strollers in the Gathering Space in the area provided.
