Literacy- The students are working in reading and spelling groups. We will begin reading assessments soon to see how much they have progressed so far throughout the year.
Math- We worked on symmetry last week. This week we will discuss our phone numbers, learn more about symmetry, explore three dimensional shapes and begin focusing on money.
Theme- Last week we learned about the skeletal system. This week we will explore the muscular system and the respiratory system. We may begin learning about the digestion system.

CAGT- I will be attending the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented annual conference on Monday, October 13 and Tuesday, October 14. I am looking forward to meeting the big names in Colorado’s gifted and talented educators and researchers. I will attend several workshops that are focused on Stargate’s special population of students.
Book Orders- This month’s catalogs will come home today. If you would like to make an online order, please wait until Wednesday, October 15, so that I can set up the orders. Book orders will be due on Monday, October 27.
Firefighters-The Thornton Fire Department will visit Kindergarten on Thursday, October 16th. The theme for Fire Prevention Week is "Prevent Home Fires." Our emphasis will be placed on three general fire safety topics: 1. practicing home fire drills; 2. installing and testing smoke alarms; and 3. checking for and correcting home hazards, including candles
Jackets- Since the days are getting colder, please make sure your child has a jacket for outside. Some of the students are borrowing our “left over” jackets and sweatshirts from
the past years.
PE- Please don’t forget to make sure your child has tennis shoes for PE. If they would like, you can put tennis shoes in their backpack so that they can change before PE.
Since I am at home on Sunday night, I may be missing something. I expect that I will write another newsletter and blog entry later this week.
Thank you for your patience!
