Newsletter #13

 January 12th Edition of

The Kindergarten Class News


Hi Everyone!

It is nice to be back working with your wonderful children. Here is a recap of some of the things we did this week.

 

On Monday we continued practicing our printing. Later we worked on drawing and poetry with Mrs. Creech and started a unit on Penguins. The had a lot of good questions they would like to find out about these birds! 

 

Tuesday, we focused on the number 7 in math, learned about where penguins live and went to Music class. We also had fun in the gym and forest. Later we went and saw how much water had filled the bog!

 

On Wednesday we had our literacy stations with a focus on letters, rhyming and syllables. It is always a lot of fun. We also were super strong in the gym and went to the library. Please remember to send back the library books each week or contact the office if one is lost. We also went to the Whole School Meeting and Journey and Anna showed their New Year firework art. Later the class learned what penguins like to eat.

 

Thursday, we had a fun time in the gym and wrote in our journals. We made very cute penguin art and went to Music. It was a very wet day, and many children used their spare clothes. Please send back clean clothes to replace the spares that may have come home. We could also use any extra plastic shopping bags you may have stashed away. 

 

Next week will be “Ll” week for show and tell. If your child has something beginning with the letter L to show on their day that would be great. I am not strict about this, and they are also welcomed to bring something they really want to share, even if it doesn’t begin with L. On that note, if it is not a S&T related item, please leave it at home. We generally don’t encourage toys from home as they can cause conflict and often get lost. Thanks for your understanding.

 

Important dates to remember:

February 14 Valentine’s Day

February 15 Early Dismissal 

February 20 Family Day (no school)

February 24 School in session

 

Enjoy the weekend!

 

Warmly,
