Hello Families,

Here is what you need to know for our kindergarten class this week:

Lunch choices for Monday are Ravioli ( chef’s choice) and grilled cheese!

• Monday:  Letter books will be sent home today.  We will be studying the letters G and g.  Please return library books to school if your child hasn’t already done so.  We did not check out books last week since we were on our field trip during our check out time.  Wear gym shoes!
• Tuesday:  We will go to the Media Center, music and art today!
• Wednesday:  We will go to music today.
• Thursday:  Mad Science at 1:00 p.m.  If you are interested in helping us, please let me know!  Thanks!
• Friday:  Letter books need to be returned.  Wear gym shoes

PBIS:

In order for your student to be invited to the PBIS Reward they must stay on green 80 percent of the month.  Since we have 15 school days in December, that means that they can’t move their clip more than 3 times.  Some students are already getting close.  Each morning, please remind your child to follow our classroom guidelines to BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL and BE RESPONSIBLE!  Our December reward party is Game Day and will take place on Friday, December 19th.  More info will be sent home soon.

Number Poems:  During conferences last month. several parents asked for the number poems we say in class to help while practicing writing numbers at home.  I thought every family might find them useful so look for them in your child’s red folder on Monday!

Here’s is what we will be studying this week in:

READING:  Retelling the beginning, middle and end of a story.

WRITING:  We are still writing  our opinions!  We have lots of opinions in our class!:)

MATH:  We are solving addition and subtraction word problems.

SOCIAL STUDIES: We are finishing up on our Social Studies project!  We have been learning all about needs and wants, goods and services and service workers.  Later in the week I will be administering the District Social Studies Assessment to your child.  The assessment covers the topics that we have been studying during our project.

SCIENCE:  We will begin our investigation of Force:  Pushes and Pulls!  Thanks to Martin’s family for sending in an excellent picture that demonstrates a push.

Here’s to a great week!

Ms. Wright
