Kindergarten
Newsletter for the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend
We did a lot of fun Thanksgiving activities! We made butter
and corn bread in our room. We had a “feast”
with our reading buddies while we watched the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving movie.
We used
colored beads to retell the story of the first Thanksgiving.
White bead-The
Pilgrims sailed on a ship with tall, white sails.
Blue bead-They
sailed on the blue Atlantic Ocean.
Green bead-They
were so happy when they finally spied land.
Black bead-After
a very hard year, they decided to celebrate and have a huge feast because they
were very thankful to they were alive.
They also wanted to thank their new friends.
Red Bead-They ate
cranberries.
Orange bead-They
ate pumpkin pie.
Yellow bead-They
ate corn.
Brown bead-And of
course, they ate turkey!
I hope the children enjoy retelling the story!
In phonics we will begin the letter Ff and show and tell will
be on Thursday as usual. I will also
test word list 5 on Friday.
In math we will name shapes using 2 attributes, copy AB and
ABB patterns and begin working with geoboards.
In reading we will begin the story Little Panda. This
is an informational text and we will learn the comprehension skill compare and
contrast.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend! We will return to school on day 3 of our
rotation. We do not exchange gifts among
the children for Christmas. Sometimes
that question comes up because some of the upper grades do exchange! We have found that some children get upset
with what they get and it causes a problem.
Have a restful Thanksgiving break and happy hunting to all you bargain
hunters and real hunters too!
