Kindergarten Newsletter
December 9th –
December 13th
9.5
days! I’m not
sure
how
I
feel
about
these years starting to fly by like
they are! It’s literally halfway through kindergarten! When we come back in
January we will only have 5 months left! I may just cry! This part of the year
is hectic but we must stop and enjoy these babies! Kindergarten Christmas is
the best year of Christmas by far! They magic and sheer excitement is so
contagious. J
We will continue to do as much academic things as we can but also enjoy the
season. I’ll keep you posted on all the upcoming events as they are happening. J
DON’T FORGET TO GET YOUR SECRET FIELD TRIP MONEY/FORM BY THE 11TH.
I have to send it in to the people that afternoon so they can be ready for us! J
Also, if you forgot to send your jelly and socks/toiletries for the SGA you can
still send those. I know it’s a lot but it’s for a great cause! I’ll
be
out
on
December
12th
and 13th.
I absolutely hate it but I can’t avoid it. I have Mrs. Jenni coming and the
kids
love
her!
We
have
Polar Express on the 13th.
I’ll get you more information as I get it!

Tips:
•When
you kiddos
ask you
“what does
a 3 and 1 make?” They are beginning
addition! We’ve been doing a lot of number sense activities with our numbers
0-10 and this is our next step!
•We
are going
to start
cracking
down on
sight words
and reading
especially after Christmas! My goal is for us to have all 26 letters and sounds
at mastery by Christmas. As of right now I have around half the class at or
approaching mastery. During the month of
December we are going to crack down and get those under our belts.
