Welcome Back!
I hope you all had a very enjoyable
and relaxed Winter Break.
Recap
of the Week: Before the Winter Break we had lots
of fun making surprises for our families, working on holiday math and
comparing/contrasting the Gingerbread Boy, Gingerbread Baby and Gingerbread
Friends books.
Parent-Board Meet & Greet: There will be an opportunity for parents to
meet with the Little Acorn School Board on Tuesday at 6:30pm. Come meet these
wonderful people who help make our school possible and tell them what you think
of our school! Please RSVP by Monday, January 5th.
Math: We will begin the week by
writing our numbers as high as we can go. We will also continue working on
adding numbers to 5. We finish the week with some snowflake patterning.
Literacy: We will begin this
week with our reading groups working on mini-books with the short u (as in
umbrella) sound. We will also do some vocabulary writing and work on hearing
the difference between the vowel sounds.
Writing: We will write
about some of the things we did on Winter Break. We will focus on sounding out
the words as much as we can in order to help students match sounds they are
saying with words they are writing.
Social Studies, Art & Science: We are going to be learning about snow and ice. We will observe
how things melt and draw and label our observations. We will read the story the
mitten and learn about the animals in the story, discussing hibernation. For
some fun, we are going to be making snowflake bulbs.

Winter
Attire:
Please send your kindergartner to school with coats and footwear appropriate
for the weather. Even hats and gloves/mittens are needed on some days as this
week has shown us! Remember we go outside as much as we can, as long as it is
not too cold and there is not too much of a downpour.
Sickness: If your
Kindergartener is sick, please call the school office, or you can send me an
email or a text so we can keep track of illnesses.
Weather Related School Closures: Remember, if Vancouver School District declares a 2 Hour Late
Start or is Closed, then our school will be closed too. In case of bad weather,
watch for emails and/or text message notifications from Little Acorn and from
our Remind.com accounts. The Remind.com number
for Little Acorn is 307-459-3175, class code

Please
feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Send a text, give me
