Halloween Parade
A friendly reminder that Boyden's Halloween parade will take place on October 31st (tomorrow!). Students who would like to participate should come to school dressed in their costume. Please also send a bag with your kindergarten kiddo to store their costume in after the parade, as they will not be allowed to wear them for the entire school day. Parents who would like to watch the parade can do so from the cafeteria or gym. The fun starts at 9:15am. We hope to see you there!
Rest Blankets
Due to all of the Halloween excitement I will not be sending your child's rest blanket/towel home for washing until this Friday, November 4th. Please have them bring their clean towel/blanket back to school with them on Monday, November 7th. Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!
Curriculum
Literacy
Last week in Literacy we spent our time reviewing all of the important skills and concepts that have been introduced in the last few weeks. Included in this review were the letter M and T, as well as the sight words I, a, am, the, little, and to. We also made time for some fantastic Halloween fun!
The students had a great time sequencing the events of the story The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything. They also practiced writing the action words for each piece of clothing in the book!
We also had a great time singing the pumpkin chant:
Pumpkin, Pumpkin, big and round,
Pick a pumpkin, make its sound!
This interactive activity was great for reviewing our letters and the sounds that they say!
Math
Last week in Math we continued to review numbers 0-5. The children had a great time participating in various Halloween themed math centers!
The students above practiced counting spiders and placing them onto spooky webs!
Halloween Celebration!
On Thursday, the children has a SPOOKtacular time participating in fun Halloween themed crafts and games! A BIG thank you to our Room Parents Mrs. Seeley and Mrs. Shaughnessy for organizing such a fun event, along with Jack, Evelyn, Laher, Devin, Norah, and Kaylei's moms for their help and creativity!
Fly Fly Witchy!
Over the last few weeks the Kindergarten classes have been working hard to prepare for the October school-wide assembly! We learned the song Fly Fly Witchy, and designed our own colorful witches to use during our performance! The big show was this past Friday and the students did a wonderful job! A copy of our song was sent home with your child last week. Feel free to keep the fantastic singing going at home!
