Pumpkin Patch Field Trip!

We had a delightful time on our field trip to Pasternio Farms. The children had a fun filled day and were excited that they could pick out a pumpkin of their choice!

Thank you to all the parents who came along. Your time and help were much appreciated!

Kindergarten had a fabulous week at school. We celebrated Elizabeth, Renzo, Jazmine and Miss D’Alfonso birthdays this week at school. We also did fun projects for letter “n” week. The students cut numbers out of the newspaper and made the letter n with noodles. These projects helped the students with their fine motor skills! The students have been learning many words beginning with the letter n sound. They have learned the words: no, not, nap, new, nest, now.

The children are getting excited for Halloween. They have done many fun Halloween art activities with their 6th grade buddies. The students have made cats, pumpkins and ghosts. Thank you Ms. O’Connor for organizing this with our buddies. The students have enjoyed spending time with their buddies.

On Monday, the school will be participating in a Living Rosary at 11:00 in the gym. Parents are welcome to come and join us.

Thank you for turning in the field trip permission slips in on time. Remember that your children have free dress for our field trip to the pumpkin patch on Tuesday, October 27th. If you are a parent chaperone please be in the classroom at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. We will be departing from school at 9:15 a.m. on the bus.

Thank you,

Miss Trout and Miss D’Alfonso

Dear Kindergarten Parents,

We will be teaching the students yoga once a week in the afternoon in the gym starting Thursday, October 22nd. The yoga practice will help the students learn more about themselves and about each other. Yoga teaches self-awareness, self-control and mindfulness. The children will be required to listen, focus and concentrate. The practice will enable the children to be more responsible, respectful, considerate boys and girls.

Yoga will help the children grow in mind, body and spirit. The practice will help the children to be present and be calm in their body. They will learn breathing exercises that will help them relax. This is also a community building activity that will allow our class to have fun and work together.

Thank you,

Ms. Trout and Ms. D’Alfonso

Kindergarten had a great week at school. We met Ticking Tom T from Letter land. The students have been learning many common sight words: to, the, they, did, do, me, my, he, hat and her. The students have improved in their writing skills and have been practicing writing nice and neat. Please help your child at home with writing the numbers 1-10.

Thank you for returning the homework folders and helping your child with their homework. In time, every student will be placed in a reading group and there will also be a book sent home to read for homework.

We did a very fun fall art project making colorful trees with paint and sponges. The students did a great job following instructions. Please send in an oversized shirt for your child to wear for art projects. Please label your child’s name on the shirt.

If your child mistakenly brings home another students sweater can you please send it back to school. There is a school lost and found near the front office if your child has lost their sweater it may be there.

The students now have classroom jobs. They are learning to be accountable and responsible. Some of the classroom jobs are erasing the boards, name checker; making sure everyone writes their name on their work. Another job is tidying up our classroom library. The students have been very helpful and are learning how to be more independent in the classroom.

The class had their first Fancy Friday lunch. Thank you for bringing in the tablecloths and napkins. Fancy Friday is when the students pretend that they are eating their lunch in a fancy restaurant. This special lunch helps remind the students about good manners and it also builds our classroom community.

There is a kindergarten post office in the classroom where the students write letters and draw pictures to one another. Students can make a good choice after they complete their seatwork. They can either send someone a letter or read a book.

Remember the Scholastic book orders are due on Thursday, October 15th.

Have a wonderful long weekend.

Thank you,

Ms. Trout and Ms. D’Alfonso
