How We Organize Ourselves Unit 2 Week 5

Welcome back to German week! 
   We are now in week 5 of our second Unit 
    "How we Organize Ourselves"

NOVEMBER PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
PLEASE CLICK HERE and write your child's name on a conference slot. Gray slots are unavailable times. We look forward to speaking with you about where your child currently is and goals for the end of the year! 

  A MESSAGE FROM MRS. SHANA
Dear Parents!
Every year, I do a very messy pumpkin lesson with the kindergartners.  It's a fun lesson where students continue to develop their fine motor skills, counting skills, organizational exploration skills. In order for this to happen, I need your help.
I'm looking for WHOLE UNCUT pumpkins; baby bear size (a little bigger than a soft ball) all the way up to giant ones! I'd need 5-6 per class, so I'm looking for a total of 30-40 pumpkins. Color and shape does not matter.
If you would like to donate up until November 9th, please bring your pumpkins to the outdoor classroom where we hold class and leave them by the whiteboard, or drop them off to your child's regular classroom and I'll pick them up.

Thanks ahead of time for your contribution!

How can you help AEA help your kids?


This is the EASIEST way for us to earn money for our school...will you help us?
 _____________________
Fall Fundraiser
November 6th is the is the last day of the ONLINE portion of our fundraising campaign-remember that this fundraiser is what supports our specials like Music, Art, gardening, science and  more.

Please remember that there will be many fundraising opportunities....
we hope that you will take part in the ones that speak to you and leave the others with little judgegment.
The way that you can ALWAYS help our school is by making a monthly pledge of $30/month.
That is just a dollar a day....
if everyone did this then we would not need to "fund-raise" in this traditional sense to provide the extras that AEA offers our kids.

Math:

CHAPTER 4- We will continue to compare and represent numbers 1-10


_________________________________
Writing:
We will continue to write short sentences 
Heute ist Montag.
Today is Monday....learning to start with a capital use two finger spaces and to always remember a period at the end. 

Along with this sentence the kids will have to draw a picture that represents the words they wrote.  They can make the connection that on Monday, they will play at recess or they drove in the car to school.  They will know to avoid drawing something that they like such as a rainbow because they did not see one on Monday.  Our pictures match our words.


Our names are still on our list of things to continue to improve on, so please work on this at home as well.

This week we will continue our ABC der Tiere rap 
and learning the sounds of the German alphabet.  
The text can be found here.  

We will continue "reading" our ABC der Tiere Fibel. 
_______________________________
Handwriting:

We will continue our handwriting curriculum,  
Handwriting Without Tears.  
This week we will focus on 
starting corner capitals...
