Kindergarten News
The week we return from holiday break we will be
learning the consonant letter Kk as in kite and kangaroo. Start looking for your Show and Tell for the letter Kk, and follow the schedule, which will begin on Tuesday, January 3rd. One day during the week, the boys will get to be “Kings for a Day!” (Girls will be returned the favor when we learn the letter Q for queen!) **Word List 7 will be tested on Friday, January 6th. Practice over the holidays.
We will be Kid Writing about the holidays, and the boys and girls will get the opportunity to write about what they did in their time off from school!
For Reading we will begin continue with Unit 3; Watch Me Change. The next story will be See How We Grow by Katacha Diaz. The skill cause and effect will be introduced along with the /d/ sound. Watch for your new Family Times newsletter!
In Math we will count by 10’s, identify dimes, trade 10 pennies for a dime, use dimes to 50 cents, practice patterns, and match numbers to a set. Take some time to review skills and daily practice pages with your child.
Just a reminder: There will be an early dismissal on Friday, December 23rd. Students will be dismissed at 11:45am. **Please note there will be NO BREAKFAST served due to the early dismissal. (Lunch for Kindergarten will be from 9:50-10:20 and art class @ 11:00.)
School will be closed from December 24th through January 2nd. We will be back to school on Tuesday, January 3, 2012. **Take some time over the long holiday to review and practice Phonics, Handwriting, and Math. It is also a great time to read together with your child and maybe even take the opportunity to let him/her “show off” his/her reading skills to visiting relatives!!!!
***Tuesday, January 3rd will be Day 5 on the special classes’ schedule. Students will need gym attire and sneakers on Thursday, January 5th.
We hope you like all the things we’ve made for the upcoming holidays: “My Little Ten Point” reindeer, personalized stockings, plates for Santa, and especially our snowmen ornaments (with the help of Mrs. Potts). Don’t forget to put out the reindeer food and Cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.
Have a safe and happy holiday break- See you next year!
