Kindergarten Newsletter-December
Thanks to everyone for your patience during parent conferences.
This will be a very busy month. The children have begun to practice for the
All School Advent Program” and we will have some rehearsals that involve going
into the church. We will also be discussing Advent in religion along with the
birth of Jesus. We will continue to meet new Letter People and practice
handwriting. Most of the month of December will focus on the coming of Jesus
and the real reason for the season. Even our party will be a birthday party
for Jesus!
With Mrs. Brink (whom I am most grateful for) now assigned to our room for
most of the day we will be able to get on somewhat of a schedule with the word
binders. I say this with a little laugh because things never go as planned and
something always interrupts us. Word binder practice is very important since
after Christmas we will begin reading from books. With that said I will need
their binders in school every Wednesday so that testing can be done and new
lists sent home for the weekend. Their handwriting skills are improving and I
will become pickier about the legibility as the month moves on. We will
continue writing sentences using words they know and words that they don’t know.
We will be working on numbers greater than ten and possibly measurement in
math. Social studies will be about celebrations in other countries. We will
celebrate Los Posadas and learn a little about St. Lucy and Kwanza.
Be on the look-out for notes regarding Santa’s Secret Shop which will
include pictures with Santa and St. Nicholas (for a small fee) and the Advent
Program.
Remember that snacks should be healthy and that proper dress for the
weather in required. They should always have their school sweater or
sweatshirt to put on in case it is chilly in our room or in one of the
“specials” room.
At this time I would like to express my gratitude to you all for your
support and patience and for allowing me the opportunity to teach your child.
These are the greatest gifts that you can give a teacher. As always feel free
to contact me at the school number or my email address.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a Blessed New Year,
