Hello hello and happy almost Friday!
Tomorrow, Friday, Kindergarten is celebrating pajama day! We will have a fun day of winter centers, math games with our buddies, a hot chocolate party, and pajamas! Your child may bring slippers and a stuffed animal or blanket to school tomorrow. Please make sure your child still has boots for recess. Thank you!

December 4-8
This week we:
*Focused on the letter Cc
*Read a story called "Bear Snores On" and discussed realism vs. fantasy
*Practiced using adjectives to describe nouns
*Began discussing hibernation
*Reviewed -at, -am, and -ap word family words
*Practiced skip counting by 10
*Worked on reading, writing, and describing teen numbers (ie: 15 is one group of ten and five more)
Next week we will:
*Focus on the letter Ii
*Read a story called "A Bed for Winter" and work on sequencing
*Learn words in the -it word family
*Learn the words he, for, white
*Discuss strategies for counting groups of objects

What to ask your Kinder:
*Read and write words in the -at, -am, and -ap word families
*Practice first and last names with correct capitalization
*Skip count to 100 by 10
*Write numbers to 20 without reversals
Reminders and Other News:
*Winter is here and the weather is unpredictable. Students WILL go outside EVERY day so please make sure to send ALL winter gear each day. This includes boots, snow pants, a warm jacket with working zipper, hat, and mittens. If your child needs any of these items, please let me know. We are happy to help!
*Also, please LABEL ALL items! It is so very easy for items to go missing. If they are labeled with your child's name, chances are much greater of being returned to you.
*Please practice getting dressed in winter gear at home.
*Please also remember to send shoes to school each day with your student. It is uncomfortable to have to wear boots all day at school. If you would like your child to leave shoes at school, that is completely fine with me!
*THURSDAY, December 14 is a LATE START. School will begin at 10:58. FRIDAY, December 15 is a STAFF DEVELOPMENT day- no school for students.
*We are still collecting mittens this week for our buddy project. Send them in any time!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or would like to volunteer in our classroom. We would love to have you!
