Easy Volunteer Job!

We are going to hang our pastel owls in the Chapman office and we need someone to do the manual labor.  My sense is that this would take about twenty minutes.  This would be a great job to do before picking up, or after dropping off your child.

Thank you!

This week in kindergarten

Hi all:

There is no school on Wednesday, November 11th, due to Veteran's Day.

We had two new students join us last week.  The class was very welcoming, and Eunjae and Artem are a great additions to the classroom.

The students are working away at their auction project.  Many thanks to Morgan, Lea and all the other volunteers for their work on this.

After Veteran's Day we will begin working on our second vowel; the letter Ii.  Vowels are a challenge for kindergartners.  We have begun linking Cc to the /Kk/ sound.  I tell the students that in kindergarten a Cc usually makes the /Kk? sound.

This week's themes:

Theme Book: A Bed for the Winter
Literacy Theme: Sequence
New words: he, for
Words we know: I, am, the, little, a, to, have, is, we, my like
New letter: Cc & Ii
Letters we know: m, a, t, p, s
Math: combining shapes to make other shapes, patterns
Switch Social Studies and Science

Song: "Goodbye Old Paint"

This Week in Kindergarten

At last, a full week of kindergarten!!

We are gearing up on our Auction art project.  Many thanks to Morgan and Lea for organizing this. Students will be working both this week and next week as we create an amazing piece of art for the Chapman Auction.  If you would like to help out, feel free to email Morgan at moko_77@yahoo.com or Lea at leakwalker@gmail.com.

This seems a great opportunity to put in a plug for the Auction.  This is a wonderful way to get to know Chapman families, enjoy an evening out, and support Chapman, all at the same time.  The auction is one of our major fundraisers and provides important support to many aspects of our school.  Everything you need to know is at http://www.chapmanschoolauction.com/.

This Wednesday morning we have our OMSI magnets class here at Chapman.  These are always wonderful science classes.  We could use a volunteer or two to help during the class.

We have a new student joining us tomorrow.  Please remind your child to be helpful and friendly as he learns our routines.

There is no school next Wednesday, November 11th, due to Veteran's Day.
