Kindergarten News
Letter People
Miss T and Mr. I have arrived in Kindergarten.  They have been teaching us many new things about teeth, Teddy Bears, inches and Indians.  A really cool thing about those two letters is that when they stand together they make one of our sight words.  Can you guess what it is?  This past week we have been reviewing the last four letters (H, N, T and I) making sure we have them under our belts.

Math
We just finished up the Chapter on patterns and are starting the chapter on number concepts 0-5.  This should be a very easy chapter for us.  We have been making many different graphs about Thanksgiving, Teddy Grahams and how we like to eat our hot Dogs.

Poetry Binders
Poetry Binders will be coming home over the Thanksgiving Break.  Please have your child share the new songs and poems with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and special friends over the holiday. Please return the Poetry Binders the first week in December.

Book Orders
Stapled on the back of the newsletter is a couple of book orders. If you choose to order, please write one check to Scholastic Book Clubs, send it in to school in an envelope with the order form by Tuesday Nov. 25th.   If the books are for Christmas gifts please note it on the order form and we will give you a call to pick up your books.  Thank you Mrs. Ford for taking care of this big job for both classes!
