There will be NO homework in Kindergarten next week! A little "Christmas gift" for the children...and you! :) Enjoy a week away from homework, but PLEASE remember to keep practicing reading those sight words and read EVERY night! Remember it is important to also talk about story elements after you finish reading. Ask your child to tell you the characters, setting, main idea, key details, and sequence of events. This nightly practice will help increase comprehension and confidence at school when I ask those questions.
Good Cheer Drive
The Good Cheer food drive is still going on. Our basket is getting very full! Please send in any canned or boxed non perishable food for the food drive! The drive ends next Friday when volunteers will be around to collect the baskets.
Polar Express Day
Don't forget to have your children wear their "school appropriate" pajamas to school next Friday! We will finish our Ettabetta unit Friday morning with the Supersmart, and the rest of the day will be dedicated to all that is Polar Express! We will play games and complete literacy and math activities all relating to the Polar Express. And of course, we will be watching the movie and enjoying hot chocolate!
Thursday--Christmas Party/Centers
I've decided I could use a few parents to help run the centers at our Christmas Celebration! If you could help work at a center from 12:45-2, could you please email me and let me know? You would be helping the boys and girls with snack, craft, and/or game centers. Thanks!
Holiday Donations
Just a reminder that if you signed up to send something in for Thursday or Friday, please have those donations in by Wednesday, so I have enough time to prep them for our special events! Thanks again for donating!
Twinkle is Back!
He's had some fun the past couple of days!
Writer's Workshop
Last week we finished up writing lists, so this week we are learning how to write cards and postcards. You will see a lot of these come home this week!
Third Grade Friends
On Friday we were invited to Mrs. Jochim's Third grade class. They paired up with us and they practiced fluently reading while we listened to Christmas stories! Plus they each made us a bookmark to keep. It was a lot of fun. Check out some of the pictures below.
Have a great week!
