Autumn Leaves are falling and we are falling into place

Well it is hard to believe that a month of kindergarten is already over.  It feels as if time is really rolling by quickly!  So far we are off to a great start.  Everyone has had a chance to truly get to know each other and it is all about building on our groups strengths for the rest of the year.  So far I see a lot of strengths: Sharing, caring, encouraging, responsible and respectful.

Autumn leaves are beginning to fall down and now is a great time to notice the changes this season brings.  In Kindergarten Math we are currently focusing on sorting.  This can be a hard concept for kids.  If you have a "catch-all" drawer at home you might want to have your kindergartner help you sort it. They could even help you sort laundry.

Your kinder has a good understanding of what to do at school.  Encourage him/her to draw pictures for you at home.  Ask questions and help narrate their stories.  I love reading the fantastic stories your kinders create at school.
