Dear Families,
Happy last day before break!! A couple of quick things:
Tomorrow is Pajama Day. If your child chooses to, he or she can wear their pajamas, but they need to bring in 50 cents.
Tomorrow is also our Gingerbread Party. Thank you to all the families who donated items for the party. If you are coming in to help, please come to our room at 8:40 to set up. The children will be rotating through different Holiday themed centers including a Gingerbread decorating and eating center.
Winter Break starts on Saturday, December 23rd and runs through Sunday, January 7th. I have been meeting with the children to update their letter bags. I am also including a number matching game. Students will flip over the cards and match the numeral with the correct 10 frame and dot pattern. We have been using www.Starfall.com in our classroom. This website has different letter activities as well as, word making activities. Starfall is free when played on a computer. You would need to download and pay for the app for a tablet. I am working on getting my access name and code for www.abcya.com, which is another good website. I have also included in your child’s letter baggie, 2-3 sightwords. The words are written in purple marker and they are I, a, and the. Please have your child practice the letters, words, and numbers, in their baggies as well as, the letter activities on the websites for about 15 minutes once a day during the break.
One last quick thing: please make sure that all your child’s boots, snow pants, hats, gloves/mittens are labeled. We are currently missing a pair of snow pants. These things are really easy to mix up between students.
Thank you for all your help and support. Enjoy the rest of your evening.
