Miss Olivo's Weekly Newsletter
Kindergarten - November
To Parents
Welcome to November! I hope everyone had a fun filled Halloween. This month I have a lot of fun activities, mini field trips, and lessons planned for your children. We will be learning about the butterfly cycle in science, how to count numbers in math, we will be taking a mini trip to the playground to observe and classify fall leaves, and we will be learning how to rhyme and identify rhyming words. I will of course keep you informed of each week's activities and I look forward to meeting with you next week in Parent-Teacher conferences. Below is a glimpse of what we will be doing this week, and some friendly reminders to note on your calendars.
Have an excellent day!

Teacher's Corner- In class this week
I am excited to announce the beginning of rhyming week! I have a lot of fun and exciting activities planned to introduce and teach your children how to rhyme. I have provided additional resources below for extra guided practice at home. Below are some fun nursery rhymes, poems, and excellent books to have the whole family involved in.

N is for Nose (you can act this one out!)
On my face, I have a nose.
And way down here I have ten toes.
I have two eyes that help me blink.
I have a head to help me think.
I have a chin and very near I have two ears so I can hear.
And here are my arms to hold up high.
And here is my hand to wave goodbye.
