Dear Families,

I hope you stayed warm over the long weekend!  Here is what you need to know for this week in our kindergarten classroom:

Weekly Homework:  Your child will receive two activity sheets in their red folder today and will need have both completed by Friday.  This week’s focus will be on the “long e” sound.

Words of the Week:  little   his

Poem of the Week:  A Chubby Little Snowman

Assessments:  Our class did a wonderful job on the NWEA tests last week.  We have several students who need to make up their tests.  I will be sending home your child’s results with their report card at the end of the card marking.  We are definitely making progress and getting closer to our end of the year goals!

Science:  These kindergarten weather watchers are thoroughly enjoying our Weather unit.  Whenever possible talk about the weather with your child daily.

Social Studies:  We started our personal history discussion of timelines last week.   The timeline project was sent home last week and will be due on Thursday, January 25th.  This project was modeled at school so your child should be able to show you what needs to be done.  This kindergarten project is always a favorite!

Field Trip Update:  We have rescheduled our Kroger/Lifetime field trip for Wednesday, January 24th.  If you are interested in being a chaperone, please email me or leave a comment below.  Fingers crossed for good traveling weather.  Please send in your permission slips by Monday, January 22.

Tuesday:   Return Nightly Literacy Homework!  Return  your library book.  We will have music with Mrs. Baloga.

Wednesday:  Late Start today.  The arrival time is 9:35 a.m. We will check out a new library book today.

Thursday:  We will have music today.

Friday:  “Long E” homework is due! Popcorn Friday- bring your 25 cents.  Limit 4 bags per child.  Wear gym shoes and be prepared for the computer lab.

Enjoy this winter wonderland!
