Dear families,

We had some beautiful weather this week here in Jamestown.Thanks to our trees and weather unit, I have been taking advantage of the weather and taking the class out to look at our adopted trees and collect data on the changes that are taking place. If you go to the Jamestown Melrose School website and click on kindergarten then click Mrs. MacIntyre you will be able to view my blog. All of my newsletter as well as some recent pictures are on there.

Our letter of the week was “Rr”. Our tongue twister was,”Ralph and Ramona rest and read.” Writer’s Workshop is going well as we continue to write the sounds we hear and not worry about perfect spelling. This is a skill that is important to as it promotes phonemic awareness and the confidence to become an independent writer.

In math, we continued to practice addition within five, and even wrote our own number stories. Addition practice can be done at home using snacks like goldfish, cheerios, grapes, raisins…. Anything at all!!

Next week will be an exciting week with Halloween right around the corner. We will be working on our scarecrow. Thank you all for sending fabric in! I will send home details about the event at Godena Farm featuring the scarecrows made by the entire school.

October is Fire Safety month, in recognition of that, we will be visited by the Jamestown Fire Department with one of their firetrucks on Friday, October 28th at 9:00am in the morning.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. MacIntyre
