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.
I have included some photos of Maker’s Space, it is definitely a favorite part of the week for the students.

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.

Next week will be an exciting week with Halloween right around the corner. We are not permitted to wear Halloween costumes to school, however I think that our walking field trip the fire station on Friday the 30th, will be a lot of fun! If you are volunteering to walk with the class, you can meet us on the south side of the building near the bike racks at 9:00 am. Thank you in advance.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. MacIntyre
