Focus of the Week ·      Literacy: Pirates Past Noon, word patterns, segmenting sounds in words, sight words! ·      Graphics Practice: lowercase letter formation (we have learned c, o, a, and g) ·      Math: changing numbers, more/less, “tricky teens”! Notes/Reminders ·      Pajama Day! Kindergarten will have pajama day on Tues 12/23. Kids can come to school in their PJs and are welcome to bring in a stuffed animal! ·      Kindergarten Read-In! Friday 12/19. Come in and read books with the kids from 8:20-8:45. Bring your favorites from home or enjoy some of our classroom books! Siblings are welcome. Conversation Starters       Tell me about the app Scratch Jr. and your introduction to coding.                How do you get from 8 to 11, do you need to add some or take some away? How many?           How do you make a lowercase c, o, a, and g?

Class Pet Pete the Pig is excited to spend this weekend with Toby! Please help your child document Pete’s weekend through photos and/or drawings and words in his journal. Thanks! Getting ready for Winter       As winter approaches please think about helping your child learn to dress for recess independently. We are here to help, but 21 kids= 42 boots and 42 mittens! The more quickly we can get ready, the more time we will have to play outside!              We will go out to play unless it is extremely cold, so please send your child with hats/gloves and boots/snow pants if it is snowy!
