Read a story to your child.  Afterwards, ask him/her to tell you the events of the story in order.  What happened in the beginning, middle and end?

We are having our class pajama Christmas party on Friday, December 18th.  Your child may wear pajamas that day. Thank you to those that signed up to bring items for our party!  I have attached a separate paper as a reminder to those who signed up.
         We are continuing to learn and progress in kindergarten!  I am excited about the growth each child continues to make.  I am enjoying each one of them and appreciate your support at home.
         Please continue to have your child practice writing his/her last name.  This is one of the requirements for our kindergarten curriculum later on in the year and if we start now, we will have it mastered.  Also, keep working on phone number, address and birthday if your child is unsure of these skills. 
         Remember to check the Lost and Found located in the room adjacent to the lunch room.  Thank you for all you do to help with your child’s education!  You are awesome!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!  Enjoy your holiday!

         It is hard to believe that December is here already!  It is an exciting month for us at school!  There will lots of activities going on and we will be learning new things.  Please continue to make school a priority!  Thank you!
         If you are missing items that your child brought to school and has not returned, please check the Lost and Found in the room next to the lunchroom.  There is quite a collection!
         We are working on addition in our math program.  The students are enjoying using objects and drawings to solve addition equations and they are understanding the concept of adding two numerals together. 
         The students are getting really good at reading and writing consonant, vowel, consonant words and reading individual phrases:  cat on dog/ dog at vet/ dad in van, etc.
         Thank you again for all of your support at home and for sharing your amazing children with me!  Have a wonderful week!
