Snowy weather is here. All kinderkids must wear snowpants and boots when
there is snow on the ground. If you do not want your child to wear his/her
snowpants to school, they can be carried in a bag. Boots are very important
because no one wants to sit on the carpet when wet shoes have been walking on
it. Remember to bring shoes to wear during school!
We have many children without mittens and hats. The children go outside
daily and it is getting very cold out there. Please be sure your child has
mittens or gloves and a hat, plus the boots and snowpants.
We finished the third set of sounds which included Gg, Oo, Uu, Ll, Ff, Bb.
The practice book came home on Friday and a new blending list came home on
Thursday. Keep practicing the sounds and blending.
In math we have learned the correct way to write 1 through 9 now. We
continue to work on patterns. This math series spirals the curriculum, so
there is lots of reinforcement of each concept.
We are talking about Advent. I hope the children are using their advent
activity calendar and advent chain. We are working on learning the Our
Father. The children will be tested on it for the next report card.
We have begun to write our last names in "school writing."
This was gingerbread week in our classroom. We made gingerbread people and
heard many versions of the story of the gingerbread man. We heard about a
gingerbread baby and gingerbread cowboy and even a runaway pickle! We ate a
gingerbread cookie and graphed the part that we ate first.
We learned about how animals spend the winter. We learned which animals
hibernate, migrate, and adapt.
Many thanks to all who sold magazines. Next Friday we will find out if we
won the ice cream party.
