• In Math we wrap up this first marking period with review of counting, making patterns, understanding shapes, and enjoying Math Workplaces.
• In Language Arts we continue to review beginning sounds in words,.  This week we will practice "p", "s", and "a" as we read and write.  We will focus on "compare and contrast" in our stories.  This will allow us to tell how things/people are alike or different.
• The "October Book-It" calendar may be turned in by November 1.  The November calendar will be sent home this week. 
• Heart Word of the Week:  "a"
• Special Theme of the Week: "Basic Needs of Living Things"
• Kindergarten Progress Reports will be given to the parents at the November Parent Teacher Conferences.  A formal Report Card will be sent home at the end of the semester in January.
