Dear Families,

Hope you are enjoying this Sunday morning with your family!  Here is what you need to know for this exciting week in kindergarten:

Social Studies District Assessment: I will be giving this assessment individually all week long.  Your child will need to know about needs (water, shelter, clothes, air, food) and wants (they are experts with wants:))  They will need to tell me if something is a good or a service.  We were reviewing this on Friday and everyone seemed like they were ready for the assessment.  Please practice with your child about these concepts at home.

Holiday Craft Donations:  We are asking for families to donate $1.00 to help pay for our Holiday craft supplies.  Please send it in as soon as possible so we can reimburse our Homeroom parents.  Thank you in advance!

• Monday:  Letter books will go home today.  We will be studying the letters H  and h this week.  Please wear gym shoes.  Return library books for Tuesday.  Your child will get 4 new words of the week to put on their ring of cards.
• Tuesday:  Ms. Wright will continue with the Social Studies District Assessment.  We will go to the Media Center to checkout new library books.  We will go to music and art.
• Wednesday:  We will go to music.
• Friday: Our holiday party will start at 10:15-11:45 a.m.  The PBIS reward will begin at 1:15-1:45 pm.  We will go to gym from 1;52-2:37 pm and then we will go to the computer lab from 2:39-3:24 pm.  Busy, busy busy!

PBIS REWARD INFO:  This month’s reward is Game Day!  If your child stayed on green 80 percent of the time in December, that means not moving their clip more than 3 times, they are invited.  They may bring in a game from home.  Please make sure that it is a game that they already know how to play.  Also, please make sure it is not a new game.  In the past, child have brought in a new game, and we spent much of the time punching out the pieces and figuring out how to play.  Make sure it is a game that is ready to be played.  Please make sure that your child’s name is labeled on the game.  Please no electronic games for kindergarten- second grade students.

As always, thank you for your continued support!

Ms. Wright
