Mrs. King's Class
First of all thanks to all the parents who came in and read to us for Read to Kids Day. We had over 36 people come read to us that day. WOW! That means we will get 36 new books for our classroom. YEA! Thanks again for coming in and reading!
Tomorrow we will have the annual Simonton Character Parade at 1:30 pm. Please feel free to join us to watch the parade you may want to get here a few minutes before then-sign in and then go to the fence between the playground and the big field. That is the area that is being reserved for parents to observe the parade. We will then come back to our classroom to finish our day.
Costumes for tomorrow: Please remember NO MASKS, WEAPONS of ANY KIND, TOY OR ACCESSORIES. They should really only have a costume on nothing carried in their hands. It should be a character from a book or a famous person. Absolutely no BLOOD or SCARY type items or costumes. I would prefer that they come dressed in their costumes unless they can slip the costume over their clothes. We will not have time for 25 children to completely change their clothes in one bathroom. So please either send them in something that they can wear all day or something that can easily be slipped on over clothes.
I have also sent home in folders a new emergency paper. It is white. Please fill out this new form and send it back in your child's folder. I realize you might have just filled one out at the beginning of the year, but they want another one filled out so that we are sure we have current working phone numbers and addresses. Thank you to all who have already sent them back I do have about 10 already returned. Yea!
A big thanks from the PTO to all of those of you who volunteered, helped and attended with your children the Fall Festival. It was a great time and the PTO and school really appreciates all the support!
I will be collecting the October reading charts through Monday-our Bookit Packets and certificates have arrived so every student in the class that returns their October reading chart filled in will receive a coupon for a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut on Monday. I will be send new charts home for November so if you didn't make the goal this month there are still plenty of chances to earn those pizza certificates!
Again thank you so much for all you do at home to support your children's learning and our efforts here at school. You are a great group of parents and have been so great and so supportive and it really makes my job easier! THANK YOU.

Mrs. Wright's Class
We have had a great week and boy it went by fast with only 4 days. This week we spent time reviewing all of the letters and sounds we have learned thus far. The kids have mastered most of them and you should have all seen a "Book in a Bag" come home. Information went home about how the program works, however, I ask that you work with your child at home to practice reading the book nightly and turn it in when your child has mastered it. While every student is at a different reading level, as a class we are ready to "go to town" with reading! Thanks in advance for your support with this!
Next week we will be focusing on letters O and W. Please reinforce mastery of these letters at home by "quizzing" your child about words that begin with a specific letter or words that have a specific beginning sound. We have also started to learn a sight word once a week. This week we learned the word LIKE, ask your child to give you a sentence using this word. We have spent a lot of time this week working on skip counting by 2's and 5's. Please review this concept at home. Don't worry if your child is a bit confused. We will work on this skill for the remainder of the year during calendar. In math we will spend the next 2 weeks finishing up Chapter 5. We have spent a lot of time on numbers 0-30. Hopefully your child is able to recognize these numbers and is starting to write them as well.
Next week is full of "Harvest Fun". Wednesday will be our "Read to Kids Day". We still have openings if you would like to attend. Thursday all kindergarten students will be doing a pumpkin investigation with lots of pumpkin tricks and treats. Finally, Friday will be our Harvest Party. Thank you to all of you who have donated items. I will be collecting until Wednesday, so if you have not had a chance to bring something in, don't worry. For our party we will be doing pumpkin tasting, fall crafts and will show off our costumes in the school parade at 1:30 pm. You are all invited to attend! Please remember that costumes should be a historical figure or book character. There will be no scary masks or weapon props allowed.
I hope to see all of you at our Fall Festival tomorrow. As always thank you for your support with our class!

Just a quick note about the "Character Parade" and Harvest Celebration next Friday.
Children will be allowed to wear costumes that represent book characters or famous people in history. We ask that you steer clear of scary things like vampires, witches and other more scary type costumes. A few absolute NO's:
No Masks
No Weapons (swords, guns, light sabers, knives, water guns or other items that could be used as a weapon)
No Blood or Makeup resembling blood or fake bloody body parts.
The school wide parade will begin at 1:30 pm and parents are welcome to attend.
The rest of the "Celebration Information" will come to you from our Room Moms-so watch folders and e-mails for that information.
Thanks for all your support.

Mrs. King Class
Just wanted to thank all you parents that have so graciously donated games for Fall Festival Basket. You are all wonderful and it is greatly appreciated. A couple of little things for the rest of this week.
Pictures went home in folder today. Please check your child's folder tonight and pull those out so they don't get ruined. Also a note about helping out at the Fall Festival if you have any extra time on Saturday.
Wrist bands will be on sale through the end of school tomorrow at the reduced price $6. I had a lot of people out the day that information went home so if you are planning to attend the Fall Festival the wristbands for playing all the games and doing the activities for the students are $6 through tomorrow and $8 at the door on Saturday morning. Be sure to let me know how many you want if you chose to buy them tomorrow.
Also today we had an assembly about Juvenile Diabetes. We got to see a video of a six year old little girl who has the disease explain it in her own words and the students were quite impressed. We are doing a fundraiser and walk here on campus for the next two weeks. The fundraising information will come home tomorrow in a yellow packet-students do not have to collect any fundraising dollars to participate in the walk in November. I will tell you that we do have several students here on campus who do have Juvenile Diabetes, one in Kindergarten, so if your family or friends are willing to donate it is a great cause!
We are review all the letters that have been taught this week and we added Kk today. New homework will go home tomorrow-don't panic if last weeks isn't finished just send it in when it is complete.
Keep up the great work at home and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi everyone!! I hope you all have had a great break and that everyone is rested and well for school tomorrow! I have had a great break and am ready to get back to our kindergarten work!
A big thank-you parents, we had 100% attendance for Parent/Teacher Conferences! I really enjoyed meeting with each family and discussing their child's progress! Keep up the good work at home.
We will be working on the letter "K,k" and reviewing all the other letters we have already introduced this week. We are also beginning to work with our first and last names and really concentrating on the numbers 0-20. We will be doing a morning activity everyday to help us practice these two areas. We started our handwriting program before break and will continue to really concentrate on forming the letters and writing them appropriately with the correct stroking motion. Please remember when practicing at home that we are using the D'nealian handwriting that is most like cursive writing and makes the transition much easier. Homework will come home tomorrow-less papers because it's a short week. If you don't get it all done by Friday-don't panic, you can always send it in next week.
I will be sending an e-mail reminding you about "Read to Kids Day". Please reply to the e-mail with a time you would like to come reading to us on Wednesday, October 28. We will receive a book for each adult that comes to read to us, so please try to work us into your schedule.
Also don't forget about Fall Festival on October 24, 2009. The presale for the wristbands for the kids activities is available this week, be sure to take advantage of the cheaper price. There will also be plenty of food, a silent auctions and lots of fun for all.
We have P.E. twice this week on Wednesday and on Friday so don't forget those tennis shoes both days. It is also Red Ribbon Week. Tomorrow is "Wear Red on your Head" so a hat or something fun in your hair that is red-just no red bandanna's because of the gang affiliation with the colored bandannas. Wednesday is "Wear red on your feet" so shoes, socks or other fun ideas.
Thursday is "Wear red accessories/jewelry" belts, ear rings, bracelets, rings, necklaces-home made stuff would be great. Then Friday is "Wear a red shirt or skirt" so wear as much red as you can!
Next week will be crazy with all the activities that will be happening so it will be frantic but lots of fun!!
Wednesday, October 28-Read to Kids Day
Thursday, October 29-Kindergarten Group activities in the AM
Friday, October 30-1:30 is the Character Parade and the Harvest Celebration to follow

There is no homework for break! Please continue to read with your children and play at least one game that involves numbers. Also try counting different things up to 20 and writing those numbers. Have fun and enjoy your children!!!
We will be very busy after break with the PTO Fall Festival, Read to Kids day, a Kindergarten Activity Day, and Harvest Celebration and Character Parade. All the times and dates are listed in the Simon ton Newsletter and I will be sending them after break. I am looking for as many Parents as possible to read to the class on Wednesday, October 28th. Just e-mail me at time that you can make it. We are reading as a whole Kindergarten group from 8:15-9:15 and have Lunch from 10:40-11:15 and a Special from 12:30-12:50 and get out that day at 1:20. So pick a time and let me know.
Thanks for all your help.

Ms. Trowbridge's Class
This week is off to a great start! This week is going to be a little different since we have such a short week. We are learning about the letter K and about apples. We will even get to do an apple investigation this week! Today we had our bus evacuation, everyone was really excited to get on a bus!
A couple of reminders:
Conferences are this week, hopefully everyone is going to be able to come to their assigned time, if you are not or need to cancel please let me know.
Thursday - school gets out at 11am and there is no school for PM. Please pick up your student at the little gate by the bike rack
Friday - school gets out at 11am and there is no school for AM. PM needs to be at school by 7:55 and meet us on the little playground
Please remember to wash your hands and talk about good hygiene habits, there are a lot of students out sick in our class and we need to make sure no one else gets sick!
We are still in need to 3 ring binders, page protectors, and family friendly magazines!
Thank you everyone for the work you are doing at home with your students it is really showing!
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Have a great break!

Ms. Wolters' class
We had a great time at our pizza party Friday!!! Thanks again for all of your orders. We went to the book fair Friday to preview the books so your child may have a wish list to show you. Davey's family donated several books with CDs and we already listened to one about snakes and the kids loved it!! Thanks so much to Davey's family!!! The book fair will continue through this week if you would like to stop in and make a purchase. This week is the end of the quarter and conferences. I tried to arrange some conferences for Wednesday so I did not have to do 19 on Thursday. That seemed a little overwhelming. Please make sure to send your confirmation slip in so I can complete my schedule. I am looking forward to meeting with all of you. I assessed each child individually for some of their grades and I was very pleased with how well they did.
I would like to start our handwriting centers this week but I will need some helpers. Please send me an email if you would like to help out with this. It will include fun activities like pinching playdoh and making letters in shaving cream. The kids will love it!! Last week we learned the letters B and K and continued learning our numbers up to 31. We have also been working on writing and it is so much fun to see what the kids come up with. Thanks for all you do and I look forward to another great week!!

WE WON!!! Our class celebrated the penny war win today. Our treat from Student Council was doughnuts and milk. YUM!! Thanks for participating and donating those pennies. Our class contributed $40.37 to the $300+ that was collected school-wide. Way to go Simonton Stallions.
The book fair is in full swing. Our class previewed the items in Library on Thursday. Come check out the great selection of books! Thank you to the families who have purchased books for our classroom. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the kids enjoy reading new stories.
Next week is conferences...I look forward to discussing your child's progress with each of you. Until then, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! See you on Monday-
