Kindergarten News – September Edition
 A month full of learning, discovery, and fall fun!

 Literacy Focus
This month we’re learning the letters:
B, T, L, N, and M
We'll practice recognizing, writing, and making the sounds of each letter. We’re also reviewing short vowel sounds and starting to blend sounds to read CVC words like hat, bed, and log. These early reading skills are so important as we begin our journey into reading!

 Math Corner
In math, we’re working on:
 Understanding teen numbers
 Counting by tens
 Using directional words (above, below, next to, between)
We’ll be using hands-on activities, games, and songs to help make these concepts stick!

 Social Studies – Community Helpers
We are learning all about community helpers—the people who help make our communities safe, healthy, and happy. We’re especially excited to welcome some special guests into our classroom this month:

 Nurse Lindsey
 Officer Mark
 Pastor Ethan
 Paramedic Colten

They’ll share about their important roles and how they help others every day!

 Apple Fun & Johnny Appleseed
September means apples—and we’ll be doing a whole unit all about them!
 Tasting different types of apples
 Graphing our favorites
 Apple crafts and science experiments
 Learning the story of Johnny Appleseed and how he helped plant apple trees across the country

Reminders for Families:

• Please check your child’s folder daily for important notes and completed work.

• Keep practicing letter sounds and number recognition at home!

• If you’d like to volunteer or donate items for our Apple Unit, let me know!

Let’s make it a wonderful month of growing and learning together. Thank you for your continued support!
