November News In Hammond Kindergarten

Columbia, Our Capital City

We are very excited about our special guest author, Mrs. Caroline Bennett, visiting with us this Friday. She will be reading her book, Charley's Columbia Backyard. This is a perfect introduction activity for our Social Studies curriculum as we introduce our study about the city in which we live. We will be discussing why our city is important to the state of  South Carolina and sharing our favorite places we know about in this big city.

                         

Sight Word Study November 17th-24th

Number words one-ten (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten)

(Please note that the number words, with the exception of one and two, are not blue or purple words. We will be studying these sight words at school this week. The children will be making their own number word flash cards to bring home and practice.

New!
 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).

Science Update- Field Study Next Monday, November 23rd

All Kindergarten classes will visit City Roots next Monday, November 23rd. City Roots is the only self-sustainable farm in Columbia. Please be sure to have your child wear their red shirt. Thanks!

NEEDED ASAP!

Please send in to school a WINTER change of clothes. With the cooler temperatures here, we are in need of an extra change of clothes for those "just in case" times.

Thank you!
