Title: Kindergarten Weekly News

Week of: October 7-11

Greeting: Dear families,

We had a wonderful week exploring fall leaves, practicing early math skills, and learning how to share materials during classroom centers.

This week we learned: Our theme was Fall Leaves. Children observed leaf colors, compared leaf sizes, and used words such as red, yellow, orange, crunchy, smooth, big, and small.

Literacy: We focused on the letter L and listened for the /l/ sound in words like leaf, lion, light, and line. We also practiced retelling a story using first, next, and last.

Math: Children counted groups of leaves up to 10, sorted leaves by color, and compared groups using more and less.

Science: We looked closely at leaves and talked about how leaves can be different shapes, sizes, and colors. We also noticed changes in the weather as we talked about fall.

Social-emotional learning: We practiced sharing classroom materials and using kind words such as “Can I have a turn?” and “Thank you.”

Art, music, and movement: Children created leaf collages, sang a fall song, and moved like leaves blowing in the wind.

Vocabulary: leaf, fall, count, more, less, share, first, next, last

Ask your child:

• What colors did you see on the leaves?
• Can you show me how to make the /l/ sound?
• What does it mean to share?
• What happened first, next, and last in the story?

Try this at home: Take a short walk and look for leaves. Count them together and sort them by color or size. You can also ask, “Which group has more?” or “Which leaf is bigger?”

Upcoming events:

• Wednesday: Library day
• Friday: Wear fall colors

Reminders:

• Please check your child’s folder daily.
• Please send a labeled water bottle each day.

Supplies needed:

• glue sticks
• tissues

Closing: Thank you for your support. We are excited for another great week of learning!
