Kindergarten Announcements
ELA
We spent this week learning about different types of weather that occur due to moisture in the air. We learned about the different kinds of clouds, rain, and snow. For the final component of weather, we learned about wind and how wind happens when warm air moves up and cooler air moves in to replace it. There are many different kinds of wind and sometimes it can cause damage. Ask your kindergartener if they remember the name of a strong windstorm (a gale).
Our new sight words are he, she, me and we learned to spell the /u/ and /kw/ sounds.
Math
We continued with our third math unit by learning to distinguish triangles and rectangles from other shapes. They discovered what makes a shape a triangle and what makes a shape a rectangle and square.
P2: Curiosity
Curiosity is in all of us and is what opens up our minds to new things. We took turns finishing the sentence: I wonder……and learned how curious our minds really are.
Science: None
Centers:
We expressed some holiday spirit by making Thanksgiving placemats this week. I will laminate them and send them home next week. We also completed numbers to 100 puzzles, made Thanksgiving food with playdough, and used magnifying glasses to find simple words.
Sight Words:
I, am, a, the, an, and, is, of, go, no, so, to, do, my, said, into, that, not, she, he, me
Snow Gear
Please remember that students must have boots and snowpants to play in the snow during recess. Students who do not have boots and snow pants will get to enjoy playing on the blacktop. It is very helpful to send a "snow bag" (in addition to their backpack) to carry their snow gear to and from school. This allows them to keep everything in one place. The bag should be large enough to fit everything (including boots) inside easily. Also...please be sure to send indoor shoes to school if they are wearing boots during arrival.
We will continue to go over procedures at school as you continue to work on dressing independently for the snow at home. Thanks so much! This is the procedure we teach at school.
Snowpants
Jacket

Hat
Boots
Mittens
Special Note: if there is not snow on the ground, you do not need to send snow gear.
Holiday Fun:
Kindergarten classes will be decorating gingerbread houses on December 12! We are so excited to give your child this fun experience. However, we do need parent helpers. We could use 2-3 volunteers on Tuesday or Wednesday (December 10,11) to assemble and glue the gingerbread houses to milk cartons. I also need about 6 parents to assist at tables while the students are decorating the houses (December 12). Please email me if you are willing to help. Thanks!
