NOVEMBER NEWS

This month we celebrate Red Ribbon Week! Activities include "Band Together To Fight Drugs and "Team Up Against Drugs."

We also have introduced our second Pillar of Character: RESPECT.

Kindergarten students are responsible for decorating our Sacred Space which can be found in the hall near the office. We will decorate this space with our "Horns of Plenty."

SOCIAL STUDIES

We will use our problem solving skills to answer the question, "How did Native Americans live?". Students will collaborate with each other and decide how to make clothing that resembles Native American attire. Students are enjoying the tepee that is set up during centers.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Our theme involves stories and activities about families. The story "Tortillas and Lullabies" introduces generations of family members and how they help each other. It is written in English and in Spanish. We continue to explore letter sounds and are excited to begin "Daily Five", where students spend time during language arts centers doing the following five activities.

*Read to Self

*Read to a Friend

*Listen to Reading

*Work on Writing

*Word Work

MATH

Please help your child hunt for patterns. They are everywhere. Finding math in everyday life is fun and important for kindergarten age children. There are also many games on the internet that teach this important math skill as well. If you need some sites, please let me know.
