Schedule for the Week of Dec. 16-20

Hello!

We have an exciting week ahead! We will be traveling to various countries (the other kindergarten classrooms) around the world to learn more about the traditions and celebrations in other countries during this festive time of year! Each child has thier very own passport and will be filled with knowledge about these great far away lands - I just know they will be thrilled to tell you about their fun adventures!

Our class has also "Filled our Bucket!" to the top with WONDERFUL behavior this year and have earned themselves their very first classroom party! Today we voted on what type of party we want and the winner is....... a pajama and movie party!! Please have your child wear their cozy pajamas to school on Friday (Dec. 20th) and we will enjoy a fun, festive movie before our winter break!

This week we will not be doing a new reading lesson, but we will be doing a little bit of math, so there will be one math homework sheet coming home this week.

I hope you all have a nice and relaxing winter break and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year!!

Schedule of the Week: September 9th -13th

Hello Kindergarten Families!

We are entering our first full week of kindergarten!!! We are busy learning the routines and expectations of the classroom as well as getting to know each other.... we are having LOTS of fun!
Below is a layout of what we will be learning and working on throughout the week. On Wednesday this week the students will have a substitute teacher in the afternoon while I will be doing Fluency Testing. This means I will be meeting one on one with each child and seeing what letters, letter sounds, sight words and numbers they are familiar with and which ones we still need to work on as a baseline for their learning. I'm looking forward to a GREEEEEAAAAAAT week!

Please let me know if you have any questions - Thanks!!
