Hello Everyone!!! Welcome to winter like weather and SNOW!!! It seems to early for snow and the COLD!!!

Thank you to all the Homeroom Mothers and all of the Parents who have made the Holiday Boutique another HUGE success! What a basket that all of you were able to put together for our Kindergarten classroom. Thank you also to all who donated bake goods for the Boutique or came and volunteered your time for the event. Much appreciation goes out to all of you! Thank you very much!

Please remember that the students are able to play in the snow at lunch time and on recess. Please pack boots and snowpants and necessary hats and gloves.

Parent Teacher Conferences continue this week on Tuesday November 12, 2019 and Thursday November 14, 2019. All green conference reminders have been sent home.

Please remind the children the importance of listening to directions, listening the first time, using a quiet inside voice, and trying their best to make wise and good choices. Not just in our class but also in our special area classes too! At the end of the month, I would like for everyone to be able to attend the reward clubs.

Please continue to have your child practice dressing themselves for the winter and most importantly being able to zip their own coats. Practice! Practice! Practice!

ACADEMICS:

ELA: We are learning the letter and sound for J and W. The sight word we are learning is “you”. We are learning to produce our own rhyming words. Also, practicing making new words by changing the ending sound. ex. man>map>mat…
