Kindergarten week of Christmas break!!

Kindergarten News for Christmas!
First, I’d like to thank everyone for their thoughtful gifts! The children were thrilled when I opened them!
In phonics when we return from the holiday we will finish the letter Kk. The boys will even get to be “king” for a day!
In math we will continue counting dimes and doing work with patterns.
In reading we will read the story Farfallina and Marcel. It is an animal fantasy book and we will work on Plot with this book.
It will be day 5 on our rotation schedule. Day 2 will be book exchange! Try to find any “missing” books over the holidays!
You may want to go over word list 7. I will test it when we return from the holiday. Also, it is almost at the end of the marking period. Please review the letters and sounds we’ve already learned. (l,o,g,h,t,p,a,n,m,i,s,f,and r) Your child should also be able to count to 50 without help! I know some children can count to 100, but the grade will be based on 50 this time!
I hope everyone has a restful holiday and gets rid of those bad coughs! Our Elf has to go back to Santa, but he said “Merry Christmas”!
