Recap
of the Week: Last week we learned about how
evergreen trees grow. We did an experiment to show how pine cones close up when
wet and open to let their seeds out when it’s dry. We also had fun making some
reindeer and poinsettias for art.
Winter Concert: The Kindergarten class will join the Busy Bee, Sunshine and Star classes
for our winter concert tomorrow, Monday December 8th at 6pm.
We will all sing some songs and watch a slideshow. Please drop your
Kindergartner to the classroom by 5:45 and then go to the sanctuary to find a
seat. Bring your family and friends along to enjoy this festive event. The
scholastic book fair will be open that evening too!
Math: This week we will continue
learning about numbers in the teens. We will also begin some addition.
Literacy: Our reading groups
are beginning to move at different rates, based on their abilities. Some of us
will continue to work on E as in elephant for a few more days, while others
will move on to I as in insect and O as in octopus.
Writing: In our
handwriting books this week, we will begin practicing lower case letters c, o,
s, v and w. We did not make our Christmas lists last week, so we will do that
and write what we would do “If I bumped into Santa Claus…”
Social Studies, Art & Science: We will be making a “surprise” this week as well as some Santa
Claus’ to hang outside our classroom.
Santa Breakfast: Great fun was had at the Santa Breakfast. Thank
you to everyone who came to eat and have some holiday fun with us. A special thank
you to those who helped us make it possible. We would love to hear some
feedback so we can make next year even better.
