Week of October 23-27, 2017

Hello families
What a fun Jog-a-thon we had today! Thank you to everyone for your generous donations. Our arts program will be fully funded for another year thanks to all of you!
Our class earned a Jamba Juice party because we had 100% participation in Jog-a-Thon donations. We will most likely enjoy some smoothies some time next week.
Please read on to see what we have coming up:

Important Dates
Thursday, 10/26: first field trip to Dave's Pumpkin Patch in West Sac. Thank you to our 10 parents who have volunteered to chaperone. At this point I have already turned in chaperone names to the district, and we have all the chaperones we need. I will give priority on our next field trip to those parents who weren't able to come on this one.
We will leave on the bus at 9am and return by 12:30 pm. Please send your child to school with a bag lunch, as we will be eating at Dave's. This is a school uniform day.

Saturday, 10/28: Phoebe Hearst Harvest Festival, 3-6:30 pm. Come in costume and have lots of fun with friends playing games, eating spaghetti dinner, and getting spooked in the haunted house. Please be sure to volunteer some of your time in our Room 4 booth as well. Everyone should have received an email about this from our room parent Sarah Z'Berg

Tuesday, 10/31: Halloween. We do not wear costumes to school! However this is a crazy sock and orange and black spirit day, so check the sock drawers and go crazy!
 We will have a small celebration during the last hour of class. The kids will make some crafts and have a snack. If you would like to help out, please let me know.
***We will not have centers on Tuesday 10/31 because of our afternoon celebration***

Friday, 11/10  No School; Veterans' Day observed

November 20-24: NO SCHOOL; THANKSGIVING BREAK

Friday, November 17 and the week of November 27-December 1: Parent/Teacher conferences; minimum days. The kindergarteners are dismissed at 11:40. I will walk them to the cafeteria for lunch at this time. If they go to 4th R, they will be picked up at 12 by 4th R staff members. If you pick them up, you can take them at 11:40 or they can eat and then get picked up at 12.
Please watch for an email about scheduling conferences late next week.

Language Arts
This week we will finish focusing on a letter shape each day. We will begin to focus more on letter sounds and putting them together to make words.
Letter focus:Ww, Xx, Yy and Zz
New sight words: it, no, this

Math
This week we continue to work on comapring numbers. We will work to figure out what is one fewer, one more, two fewer and two more.

Thanks for reading, everyone! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns.
