We are having a great time in Kindergarten! I am excited about the progress each child continues to make.  I am enjoying each one of them!  Thanks for your support and help at home.

This week we will learn more about December Holidays celebrated in various cultures.  We will celebrate the diversity of holiday traditions celebrated around the world. 

Some of you have asked about free websites for your children to use for educational activities.  ABCya!, Starfall and PBS Kids are three possible choices.

Remember to check the Lost and Found for any items you might be missing.  There are several coats, lots of hats and mittens, and various other items on the table located in the front of the building. 

Have a wonderful week and please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

We will also continue to work hard academically, so please make sure your students are at school unless they are ill.
