Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We had art. In art, we watched Chip and Dale. We got a folder to put all our art in. (Anna, Aidin, and Emily)

We got to make snowmen for our Partners in Education to hang in their offices. (Kate, Lexie T., and Livi)

We did writing. We wrote in our writing folders. We read our words to a partner. When we read to our partners we asked them a question and gave them a compliment. (Randy and Brock)

We did math workstations. We played Collect 10 Together. Our goal was to reach 10 cubes. (Kamri and Adeline)

We did Fundations. We tapped words in Fundations. We did the vowel chart and the little cards. (Tristan and Zain)

We read a book called The Gingerbread Friends. It was by the same author as The Gingerbread Baby. It was Jan Brett. (Kate)

Tomorrow we can wear pajamas to school. (Livi)

The school decided to do a list minute spirit week this week. This is a little different than the activities we have planned in Kindergarten. The Kindergarten team has had this schedule set for a while so we decided to keep it as planned!

Wednesday, Dec. 17--Pajama/Polar Express Day…wear pajamas to school (be sure to have appropriate shoes...no slippers).  Be sure the pajamas are appropriate and can be worn all day.  Bring a small stuffed animal as well (should fit in a backpack).  We will watch the “Polar Express” movie and have hot chocolate and cookies for snack.  The school will be doing a crazy sock day. Kindergarten students are welcome to do this as well.

Thursday, Dec. 18---Holiday Fun Stations…we will rotate through all of the other K classrooms doing fun holiday activities at each stop.  Nothing special needed from home. The school will be doing a Polar Express PJ day. I will not be participating but kids are welcome to wear PJ’s if they would like.

Friday, Dec. 19---Wear your fun holiday clothes (hats like Santa hats are alright too).  We will have our annual school sing and parties will be in the afternoon at 2:30 pm. Parents are welcome to come to the party! No siblings please! It will end promptly at 3 pm so students can be dismissed on time. If you plan on taking your child with you after the party, you will need to sign out with me so I can inform the office!
