Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We have lots of fun activities coming up in the next couple of weeks. Can you believe we only have 2 weeks until break?
This week we are learning about the letters J and V as well as doing lots of assessments to make sure everyone is where they need to be at this time of the year! Just as a heads up, your child should know all their letters, sounds, and numbers through 20 by the winter break. If your child is struggling, make sure you work with them extra hard over the break.
The school is sponsoring a holiday store that your child can come and buy presents for their family members. The store is only open in the mornings but PTO will be opening for 1 special day THIS Wednesday, December 8th for our PM kindergartner's. If you would like to send your child money in the red box that was attached to the paper work on Wednesday, they will be able to go THIS Wednesday with their money.
Next week we have a lot going on. On Wednesday, December 15th, we will be getting together with the other kindergarten classes for some fun center rotations. One of the rotations will include the reading of the story The Polar Express. Students are invited to wear their PJ's on this day to get in the mood of the story.
On Thursday, December 16th, we will be having our winter party from 1:15 - 2:30pm. I will be sending home the information and the donations needed for our party in the next couple of days. As always, we will need party helpers to help make our party a success!
On Friday, the 17th, there is no school for PM kindergarten! If your child goes to the kinder express program, they will go there until 11am at which time you will need to pick them up.
Everyone has been doing a great job with their little books as well as getting their homework in! We are all doing a great job of getting everyone where they need to be for first grade.
This week I am going to start introducing the -ip family words, such as hip, lip, sip, ship, and chip. See how many words you can come up with as a family!
I hope everyone has a great week, if you have any questions, please email me!
