Kindie Korner Adventures

Hi families!  We have 2 very tasty fundraisers going on for our Library! Your kiddos can send in a dollar to guess how many starbursts are in the jar and have a chance to win the whole container full of sweets!

The other fundraiser we will be doing is a SinAmen Bun Co order.  Please check your child’s back and forth folder later this week for the order form for that.  If you have never had a cinnamon bun from them, you are missing out!  Thanks for your generous support!

Today we had an earthquake drill.  We had a mini science lesson on tectonic plates and how the heat pushes up on the plates causing them to move which makes earthquakes happen.  We then practiced what to do with our bodies to stay safe and then when the drill happened, we were ready!

We followed directions calmly and did such a great job, even Mr Morris came to commend us!  Contrary to what some of the kindies were saying, the earth did NOT actually shake during the drill!

As part of our Zones of Regulation Curriculum, we had a lesson this morning on expected and unexpected behavior.  I demonstrated some unexpected behaviors with the help of Mrs Heiti.  Some of us thought that I was silly or crazy, but some of us were able to say that they didn’t like it.  We are beginning to talk about how our behavior choices can affect the way others feel.  Ask your child about all the crazy things I did today!

We also watched a couple of short videos of a man doing things aggressively, and we all decided we are very thankful that Mr. Jackson doesn’t vacuum our school like the man in the video vacuumed!

Just a reminder that we are going on our field trip tomorrow- the weather does NOT look promising.

Please make sure your child dresses appropriately.  Boots, jackets, hats, gloves- all the things!  And if you think they may want a change of clothes to change into when we get back, feel free to send something along for that too.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!  I pray you are able to rest and enjoy some family time and reflect on all that you have been blessed with.  Here are some important things to remember and make note of on your calendar:

October 11- Thanksgiving- No School

October 12- Turkeys in Disguise due back to class; Memory Verse will be checked (please practice at home)

October 13- Fall Color Dress Up Day (Students may choose to wear casual fall colored clothing on this day- if they don’t want to do that, they need to wear their uniforms)

October 15- Knight Day (Every Friday is Knight Day- students can wear their Knight Shirts and casual pants.  If they don’t want to wear their Knight shirts, they need to wear their uniforms)

October 20- Pumpkin Patch Field Trip- students should dress for the weather in casual clothes, rain boots etc.  We will meet at the school for the regular start time (8:55) and start our day in the classroom and head to the pumpkin patch later. We will travel back to the school on the bus and finish our day in class.

October 22- Professional Development Day- No School

October 26- Photo Retakes

Please make sure you check your child’s back and forth folder- there is a permission slip for an upcoming field trip that needs to be signed.  Please keep the top portion of the page for your records, and return the bottom portion to me as soon as possible.

We are so looking forward to being able to go on a field trip!

Just a reminder that Comfort Kits are due.  I am missing a number of them and need to get the bin put away.  Please have your child’s Comfort Kit in by the end of this week.

Also, your kiddos should be coming in to the school independently now.  I was SO impressed with how well they did this morning!  They can do this!  Thank you for encouraging them and helping them grow!

Because we only had 2 school days last week to work on our verse we will continue with our “b” verse and I will be asking the students to say the verse next Tuesday.
