Kindergarten In October

Another fun week in Kindergarten. He has learned two more words this week, the & are. He has began to write simple sentences at home. The theme study has moved into halloween. I thought his bat was pretty cute. What a great way to save his little hands. He started a penny jar a few weeks ago for a homework assignment. It is really surprising how fast the pennies are saved. Joey is learning to count by fives and tens.

He is getting really excited about Halloween. We have pulled out all of our Halloween books, and started reading one before bed each night.

Sunday, we made Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins. Yum-O!! Joey sure is getting good at measuring and pouring ingredients in the bowls. He loves to stir and fill the pans with the batter. Might I add, not with much of a mess.

week 8

At school this week they have added another word to the list of words they know, my. Joey writes his word list each night. He enjoys saying and spelling each word out loud. He is on his way to becoming a good speller.

They have continued to study pumpkins for the fall theme. They cut a pumpkin open, and baked the seeds. With the seed they worked on math. After they were done they got to try the seeds. Joey didn't like them which did not surprise me. He doesn't like nuts so why would he like seeds.

Joey got to have lunch with his teacher on Thursday. He and the other children at his table. They had good behavior, and had earned eating lunch with her and watching Curious George. Joey thought it was great.

Thursday evening, we were getting ready to go to dinner. I had sent Joey in his room to get his shoes on. I heard him in there singing. He has a poster of the ABC's in his room. He was pointing to each letter and then saying the sounds. He was playing school, teaching his stuffed animals. So sweet, I loved it.

Week 7

Oh I'm just glad to be done with this week. Joey went to school Monday & Tuesday. Got sick on Wednesday at school. I picked him up and he stayed home Thursday. We went to the Doctor, and he had a virus. After dr. he seemed fine. Just something about going to dr. I guess. He went back to school on Friday.

Open house was on Tuesday. I got to meet all his teachers. He sure knows his way around the school. Also the school had a book fair. We bought two new books, and also one for the class to keep. A parents meeting was on Wednesday, about reading at home to your child. Also school pictures were on Wednesday, so be looking for yours in the mail soon. Ahh I hope to get them in the mail soon!! :)

He also learned a new reading word, you. We have added this to our list of words he writes each night. He is able to see the word in a sentence and point it out. He gets so excited, "look Mommy, I'm reading!"

They continued the theme of pumpkins this week. Also adding in bats. It was just a busy week, and I'm thankful we made it through.

Week 5 & 6

Week 5 and 6 come to an end. Week 5 I had trouble with the scanner. Joey also stayed home one day because his cough was just not going away. He did get to stamp his apples on his shirt. It is really cute. I'll post picture at the end of the year. All the children are going to sign each others shirts, so I will wait for the finished shirt.

Week six he is really understanding beginning sounds. He has started drawing pictures and then will label the first letter of what he drew. Joey and I enjoyed friday together. School was out for teacher development day. We went to McDonald's for lunch and then to the park. We had a fun day.

We went to a fall festival Saturday. Joey got to play in the inflatables. We had popcorn and cookies, yum lunch. Well they served hamburgers and hotdogs, so Leon truely had lunch, Joey and I had snack. There was a lady clown making balloon animals, she asked Joey what he wanted. He asked for a sword, she said that was something else she could make. He was happy. SPD was there with a police car and police bike. We looked at the car, and then Joey got to sit on the bike. He was so cute, he grabbed the bike and said, "Cop Joey, this is a pretty cool big bike dude". After the festival we went and bought Joey a pirate costume for Halloween. It was a nice family day.
