Holiday Fair—Be
sure to come and check out the Holiday Fair this Saturday, December 3rdth
from 10am-2pm. There will be cool stuff
to buy and sweet songs to hear! Our
Kindergarten tree will be raffled off, along with all the other grade
levels. The Book Fair will also be open
in our library, be sure to stop by.
Hope to see you all there!
Singing at the Holiday
Fair - Every grade
level is invited to perform a few short songs. Participation is
completely voluntary. Kindergarten
is scheduled to perform at 10:30am. If you would like to bring your
child to sing tomorrow, please have them wear festive holiday colors. Please bring them to the stone steps by our library at 10:15.
We will walk the students into the MPR and place them on the stage to sing at 10:30.

Toys for Tots--Student
council has begun collecting new, unopened toys. We have received very few toys this year. Please consider donating!

Our theme for this week is The Grinch and
Christmas, and our new word wall word is “we”. We now know the following High Frequency
Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, you,
feel and we. Please encourage
your child to use these words in their writing every day!

Get ready for GRINCH DAY:
Tuesday December 6th will be Grinch Day in Kindergarten. Our class will be having lots of Grinchy fun
with math & literacy activities centered around the Grinch. Your child is welcome to dress up for this
fun day. Ideas include WEARING GREEN,
trying out some Who inspired hairdos, wearing antlers like the Grinch’s dog Max….
Have FUN with it!

Our Writing Jobs
have changed again! We are now writing
about how we feel. Happy, mad, excited,
sad, silly, thankful, tired, nervous, surprised… Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing
practice each day. At this point of the year our goal is for your child to be
able to write one complete sentence with proper conventions. We encourage your child to remember 5
things when they write.
1. Start with a capital 2.
Finger Spaces between words
3. Word Wall Words are
spelled correctly 4. Monthly Job (feeling words) 5. Period at the
end of your sentence.

We will begin talking about the different
Holiday traditions in December. If your family celebrates a special
December/January holiday, we would love to invite you to come in and share it
with our class. Please talk to your
teacher if you’d be willing to come in for a bit and share your family’s
holiday traditions!

Please make sure your
child is writing their name on their Homework Packets. Many come in each week without names.
