Dear Kindergarten Families, Our Christmas around the world unit has focused on the traditions of Hanukah (Israel) and St. Nicholas (Holland and Germany). At the theme art center children played the driedel game, learned about and made a menorah, made and decorated wooden shoes for St. Nicholas to fill with goodies and wrapped a gift in several boxes with clues to give to another center group. The language and writing center focused on the letter Jj. Children completed a letter Jj book, learned 2 Jj tongue twisters, practiced writing the letter Jj, drew an object that begins with Jj and wrote a sentence about the object they drew. At the math center students did domino math. They chose dominos, counted the dots and wrote the matching number. We talked about symmetry and they made symmetrical pictures with paint and also by cutting a given pattern. They also made flash cards for counting by twos. Please use these cards at home as this is a Kindergarten requirement. Their cards go to 20, but always have them practice up to as high a number as they are able. |
The
children and I are thrilled to be getting the opportunity
to go see The Polar Express!! This is my favorite
Christmas story and I cant wait to go see the movie
on Monday. Many of you have already brought in your three
dollars. Please bring this in tomorrow if you
havent yet. Please leave extra money at home as we
will not be purchasing any snacks Thanks!! You may
bring in your wrapped unisex book for our exchange at any
time. I need them before our holiday party on the 22nd.
I am also continuing to accept any money your child has
earned to help a child in need. I need all of this money
on or before the 17th. I plan to go shopping
that weekend for the items. Questions to ask your child this week are the following:
Have a wonderful weekend!! If you have any of the supplies that were on my list last week we would really appreciate them!! Thank-you! Miss Schultz |
