Reading Goals- (on the report card)

• Relies on pictures to tell the story
• Demonstrates understanding of what was read orally by the teacher through discussion

Reading this week

We will be reading "No, No, Titus" by Claire Masurel. We have discussed characters in our stories. Now we are going to discuss the beginning, middle, and the end of the story and the setting. At the end of the week the students will be given icons representing the characters and setting in the story. Your child will need to put the icons in order representing the beginning, middle, and end of the story.

Math Standards (will be on the report card)

• K.G.2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
• K.G.3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (circle, triangle, square, rectangle) (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (cube, cone, pyramid, cylinder and sphere) (“solid”).
• Review solid shapes: cube, cone, sphere, pyramid, and cylinder
• The students will identify and describe squares and other rectangles.

  • At home ideas- Have your child draw a picture using only rectangles and squares. He/she could also draw the rectangles and squares and identify which shape is the square or rectangle.

  The students will identify and describe circles and triangles

  • At home ideas- Have your child draw a picture using only circles and/or triangles.

  - Go on a scavenger around the house and find all the shapes (square, circle, rectangle, and triangle). Ie. "The table is a circle. The TV is a rectangle. The window is square."
• 
  
  The student will identify parts of the calendar including the
  dates, days of the week, the current month, and show where they are located on the calendar.
  • Your child should have brought home his/her October calendar. Hang it up in the kitchen or some place very visible, so you can look at it every day and mark each day off the calendar.
