December will go by fast! Three weeks until our next break...WOW!
Here’s what’s coming up for this week…
· Holiday Fair—Is TOMORROW! Be sure to come and check out the Holiday Fair this Saturday, December 2nd from 10am-1pm. 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 - Our Kinders were invited to perform a few short songs. Participation is completely voluntary. Kindergarten is scheduled to perform by class at the following times:
10:45 - Post & Pravin
11:45 - Ron & Davila
12:15 - Barnes & Barron
If you would like to bring your child to sing tomorrow, please have them wear festive holiday colors. Please bring them to the bleacher area in the back of the MPR a few minutes before they’re scheduled to sing. We will not be singing on the stage, we will be up on the bleachers in the back of the MPR.
· Toys for Tots--Student council will begin collecting new, unopened toys. Please consider donating!
· Our theme for this week is The Grinch and Christmas, and our new word wall word is “for”. We now know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, go, she, he, to, has, you, am, feel, we, want and for. Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing every day! Writing 2 sentences on one topic, EVERY DAY will have a powerful impact on your child's reading and writing ability. Please have your child do this as their "homework". THANK YOU!!!!
· Get ready for GRINCH DAY: Wednesday December 6th will be Grinch Day in Kindergarten. Our classes 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!
· Upcoming Dates to remember—
o Winter break is Dec. 22nd through January 5th. School resumes again on Monday January 8th.
o No School January 16th for Martin Luther King Day.
