It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

December is a fun time to be in kindergarten! We have been busy making decorations for the holidays! Last week we made reindeer and this week we made Santas. Please remember to send in a wrapped gift (around $10) to the school office labeled with your child's name. All gifts are due by Friday, December 10th! Santa will be delivering the gifts on Monday, December20th.

Thank you for sending in postcards. So far we have 39 postcards. We still need a lot more by February so if you or your family or friends will be traveling over the holidays please send us a postcard!

This week we began Unit 3 in Language Arts. You should have received the Unit 3 sight words. This week we will be working on words (she, me, with). We will also be working on comparing and contrasting and letters Nn and Bb. For grammar we are reviewing nouns and adjectives and we are learning about verbs.

In Math we are working on solid figures, shapes, symmetry and equal parts. Please look at your child's math worksheet for ideas on ways to practice the skills at home.

In Science we finished our unit on body parts. Last week we started learning about the five senses.

Enjoy the pictures!

Our Thanksgiving Feast!

Well better late than never! Right? We hope you enjoy the pictures from our Thanksgiving Feast! We were lucky to have Mrs. Ginther in to read a story and teach the "turkey dance"!

Our New Podcast!

We hope you enjoy our new podcast titled "Kindergarten Is Thankful For...."!

Getting Ready For Thanksgiving!

This week we have been working on some Thanksgiving projects. Today the students wrote about things that they are thankful for. We are also learning about Pilgrims and Indians. Today we made Pilgrims and the students smiled for a group picture to show off their work.

Remember that your child is welcome to dress up as a Pilgrim or Indian for our Thanksgiving Feast next Wednesday. We will be making Indian headbands in school for students who do not dress up.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to come in for parent/teacher conferences. It is so nice meeting with all of you!


New Thanksgiving podcast coming very soon.....

Kindergarten's Got Mail!

The 100^th Day of School is quickly approaching. This year Kindergarten is trying to collect 100 postcards by the 100^th Day of School in February. We need your help to achieve our goal.

We are asking all parents to mail a post card to our school. If you are traveling it would be fun to receive a postcard from you, but you could also send a post card from your home. Please pass this on to any family members or friends (especially those who live in other states or countries) to help us reach our goal.

Our students will love receiving postcards from you, and this will be a great way to learn about other places! We look forward to hearing from you!

Here is the address:

Our First Podcast!

This week we recorded our first podcast titled "Kindergarten Alphabet Chant". We hope you enjoy!

November!

I can't believe it is November already! We have been learning so much in Kindergarten. I am very excited to share everything with you during our conferences later this month!

In Language Arts we are continuing working on naming letters and sounds. We are also working on decoding simple 3 letter words (map, sat, Pam, Tam, Sam, pat, mat, tap). This week I introduced main idea. When reading to your child each night, you can ask them to identify character, setting, and the main idea of the story. This week I also introduced adjectives and we reviewed nouns.

In Math we continued to practice numbers 0-10. Some of the number are difficult to write so I encourage you to have your child practice writing them at home.

In Science we learned about bones and muscles. I hope you child is sharing them fun facts that we are learning !

Last week we worked on a project with Mrs. DiOdoardo's second grade class. Enjoy the pictures!
