Weekly Update 9/21/15

This week in kindergarten:
*  We will not have a homework sheet.  However, I am sending home a sight word packet for those students working on list 1.  I would also like to see the students practice using a mouse on home computers if possible.  Mrs. Carter, our Tech Time teacher, has noticed that with the use of tablets many students are struggling with manipulating a mouse.  If you have a home computer with a mouse - have your child practice using the mouse and working on how to point and click.  Some great websites for kindergarten students are www.starfall.com and www.pbskids.com. 
*  We are learning about Johnny Appleseed and will celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day tomorrow in class (it is actually on Saturday, 9/26). 
*  We will not have kindergarten class Wed-Fri this week.  Wednesday and Thursday are reserved for parent teacher conferences.
*  I have created a sign up for parent volunteers in the classroom.  There are 2 time slots to choose from.  10:45-11:45 and 1:40-2:30.  Please feel free to type your name into 1 or 2 slots.  As we get closer to the beginning of the month and you notice slots are empty - you are welcome to add more times if you wish.  Parents who volunteer in the classroom will work with groups of students (4 at a time) in the pod.  You will play games and do activities that support the curriculum and what we are learning in the classroom.
This is a Google Doc  - similar to the snack sign up.  Let me know if you have any questions!  :)

*  Snack time has been a huge hit!  Thank you to everyone who has donated a snack for our class!  We are still looking for snacks for the following dates/letters: next Friday (U snack), 10/6 W, 10/8 X, and 10/9 Y.  Let me know if you can help!

Here are some videos to help with sight words:
