Nutrition Update

Last week the kindergarteners enjoyed eating the various parts of plants. We tasted the seeds (sunflower and pumpkin), roots (carrots), stem (celery), leaves (spinach), flowers (broccoli), and fruit (tomatoes). This was a fun activity for all, and we were excited to learn which "parts" grew above the ground, and which grew below. Each class read the book Tops And Bottoms, by Janet Stevens which fittingly opens from top to bottom instead of from side to side making it the perfect choice for understanding where various foods grow.

Field Study Fun

As an enrichment activity to our study of Nutrition, Hammond Kindergarten will be visiting Whole Foods on Garners Ferry Road. This Thursday, November 5th, The Ducklings and the Darling Doxies will be touring Whole Foods and learning where our food comes from. Next Wednesday, November 11th, the Bear Cubs and the Busy Bees will be touring.

Reminder

We have enjoyed seeing the disguised turkeys which have been strutting into our classrooms! As a reminder, please return your turkey no later than tomorrow Wednesday, November 4th. The "turkeys" will be displayed in the hallway then sent home before Thanksgiving break. Have fun and be creative!

Math Matters

Now that November is here we will introduce the Nickel.
The children are learning this nickel poem. You may enjoy practicing it at home.

"Nickel Poem"

Nickel, Nickel

Thick and fat

You're worth five cents

I know that.

 

 

 

 

Sight Word Study November 3th-10th

Black, green, orange, purple

New This Week!
 Please share any of your ideas on activities reinforcing sight words.
Simply send a note in to your teacher and we will be happy to post new ideas to our list.
Have fun learning your sight words!

Suggested Activities and Games to reinforce sight words

While riding in the car, have your child look for familiar sight words on billboards and signs. If you keep a Magna Doodle or a small writing pad in the car, have them write the word when they see it.

See if your child can find the words on items around the house (cereal boxes, packaged goods, newspaper headlines, magazines, etc).
