Kindergarten News

la la la la la la la!
* Kindergarten will be having a “Polar Express” day on Wednesday, December 20th. Students are invited to wear their pajamas
to school to dress like the characters in the book. **Hot
chocolate and cookies will be provided for snack!
*The monthly PBIS Reward will be held on Thursday, December 21st. Students who earned 4 stamps and chose the Jammies and Movie for reward are
permitted to wear pajamas all day 12/21!
Those who chose Reindeer Games

*There will be an
early dismissal on Friday,
December 22nd.
Students will be dismissed at 12:00 pm.
**Please note there will be NO
BREAKFAST served and NO special classes on 12/22 due to the early dismissal and
the school assembly “THE NED SHOW”!
School will be closed from December 23rd
through January 1st. We will return to school on Tuesday, January 2, 2018. **Take some
time over the long holiday to review and practice sight words. 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!! (Also don’t forget to return AR “Book Buddy” recording sheets by
Jan. 2nd! The goal for
December is 15 books!)
For Reading after the holidays, we will move on to the
story, George Washington Visits. It is a historical fiction story, and we will
be discussing how life today is different from life 100s of years ago. For phonics, we will be working with the
letters Dd and Kk and their sounds /d/ and /k/.
Watch for your family times newsletter for more details. To reinforce
the letter sounds the boys and girls
will be presenting dinosaur reports and the boys will get to be “Kings for a
Day” one day. (Details will be
enclosed in folders before the holiday break). We will work with the K and C Spelling Rule. The
rule is that we spell the /k/ sound with the letter K when the sound is
followed by the letters e, i, and y. We
spell the /k/ sound with the letter C when the sound is followed by the letters
a, o, u, and any consonant. For
example: K before e, i, or y (keg,
kid, milky) C before a, o, u, or any consonant (cat, cot, cup, clip)
In Math, we will be working with Topic 4. Take some time to review practice pages and
continue to practice counting by 1’s, 5’s, and 10’s to 100, identifying numbers
to 0-100 and naming next numbers when given a number from 0-100.
A big THANK
YOU to Mrs. Amy Dower for visiting our class on Tues. December 5th
to share with the class her career working with Interventional Radiology and X-rays. The boys and girls loved seeing the X-rays
and the real bones!! **Any parent
or family member is welcome to be a guest reader throughout the school year—Just contact Mrs. Potts to arrange a date and time!! J
**Monday,
December 18th will be Day 4-GYM on the special classes’
schedule. Students will need sneakers
and gym attire on 12/18.
Tuesday, January 2nd will be Day 8-Library on the special classes schedule and students
will need Library books 1/2/18, and Gym attire and sneakers on Wednesday,
January 3rd (1/3/18).
**(Please note that 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.)
We hope you like all the
things we’re making for the upcoming holidays:
Reindeer hats, train photo frames, plates for Santa, and especially our
thumbprint reindeer ornaments. 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!
