Weekly Update
Nov 11-Nov 15, 2024 “Food and Nutrition”
This week we started our two week unit on food and nutrition. We learned about the five food groups and the importance of each food group to help our bodies grow healthy and strong! We sorted our food into different food groups, made food patterns, and picked some food we would pack in our lunches to help fuel our bodies. Our letter focus for this week was the letter Ff. We practiced saying its sound and writing it. Our Bible lessons were about the 10 plagues and the parting of the Red Sea.
Next week we will continue with our theme and read the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We will have some fun activities based on this book and we will continue our conversation around the five food groups. Next week we will also have another Kindergarten Buddy Day. This time the students will work together to make something special for our Thanksgiving Feast which is coming up in a few weeks. Our Bible lessons will be about God providing for the Israelites in the desert.
Another mini book was sent home on Thursday with your child. This book is about apples and was a great book to partner with our theme for this week. Please spend time reading these books with your children as they learn the letter sounds.
Also sent home this week was a flyer that had more information regarding the PJ party that will be held on Friday November 15th from 6:00-7:00pm. If you have any questions regarding the PJ party, please direct them to the contact information at the bottom of the flyer.
Coming home next week will be some information regarding our upcoming Thanksgiving Feasts. We are requesting each family brings an item to contribute to the feast. You will see what item is assigned to your family as it will be circled. At the bottom of the paper is a spot to RSVP. Adult family members are able to join their child at the feast and we encourage this! If you have any questions after looking through the information, please let me know.
