Kindergarten
News
In
Math we will continue to compare and order numbers 0-10 and wrap up Topic 4
before the holiday break. Review
the daily practice pages with your child!
We
will finish reading the story Little Panda by Joanne Ryder and begin the
next story, Little Quack by Lauren Thompson. It will be an animal fantasy story. The comprehension skill we will target
is plot, or the “what happens part of the story”.
We will be learning the consonant letter Rr and its sound /r/ as in rabbit
and reindeer. Watch for the new Family Times newsletter in your child’s
folder! Practice high frequency sight words—especially the newly added cards!
For Science, we have been learning about the Earth and Sky and talking about the seasons, the changes in weather, and what
makes night and day!
Our
theme for the days leading up to holiday break will include discussions about
Hanukah, Kwanza, and Christmas.
Boys and girls will be learning about different celebrations of the
holiday and will be busy with some holiday crafts.
Kindergarten
will be having a “Polar Express” day on
Tuesday, December 23rd.
Students are asked to wear their pajamas to school to dress like the
characters in the book. **Hot chocolate and cookies will be served
for snack! There will be an
early dismissal at 1:00 so there will be NO BREAKFAST served. (Lunch
for Kindergarten will be from 9:15-9:45 and our special class will be 12:00-12:30)
Please
remind your child to keep up with his/her schoolwork and behavior and keep in
mind that Santa is watching and waiting to hear daily updates from Max, our
elf on the shelf Naughty-Nice reporter!!
December AR “Book Buddy” recording
sheets will be due January 5th. The goal for the month is
16 books. Congratulations to all the boys and girls who met the goal
for November and those who have already met December’s goal!! Keep up
the great work and Keep Reading!!
Students
will need to be prepared for colder weather @ recess. Warm coats, gloves
or mittens, hats and/or scarves are needed. Recess is a half an hour and
unless the ground is snow-covered or it is too cold we will try to get
outside for “fresh-air”.
**Please
note: Whenever school is CLOSED
due to inclement weather, the rotation schedule is just bumped to the next
school day, so students do not miss the scheduled special class for the cancelled
day.
Monday, December 15th
is Day 2 – Music. **Remember to pack library books
for Book Exchange on Tuesday, December 16th and wear sneakers and gym attire for Gym on Thursday, December 18th.
