I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We certainly did. All of our children were here, and our 3 grandchildren. Our daughter is still here, but leaves tomorrow to go back to Rome, Ga. where she is in school.
See everyone Monday.
If you haven't already sent in a sweatshirt, try to do this next week.

Our Week
Sorry I haven't posted in a week.
I thought I would share with you some of the things we will be doing this week. We will be painting scarecrows, making a scarecrow sight word slide, making several scarecrow booklets and reading them, dressing up like scarecrows, reading AR books and taking AR quizzes, learning our Bible verse, reading Bible stories, and reading the Psalms (child's edition). As always we will write in our journals daily with publishing on Friday. You would be surprised at how well the children are doing in their writing, using conventional spelling as well as invented spelling.
Our math activities will have us making patterns with fall colored unifix cubes, creating sets to 18 with candy corn, matching number words to numerals, doing a problem solving activity with a scarecrow, and our calendar work. The list below shows you the type of skills we cover when doing our morning calendar work.
1. Sequencing numbers
2. Learning days of the week
3. Patterning
4. Addition
5. Graphing
6. Odd and even numbers
7. Months of the Year
8.Counting by 5's and 10's
I think you can see that we cover a LOT in kindergarten every single day. The above list and the activities in the paragraph above don't even include all of the skills we cover on a daily basis. If I listed every skill and concept we address daily, I would still be writing... and still be writing...and still be writing.
