Kindergarten News for the week of December 3rd- 7th


Kindergarten News for the week of December  3rd – 7th

Please return your letter for Santa!  A reply should come home before Christmas!  We expect the postman next week to pick up these special letters and take them directly to Santa!  Thank you for helping your child with this fun activity!  This week we turned our own pictures into elves and reindeer!

In phonics next week we will learn the letter Rr as in rabbit and reindeer!  We will have show and tell on Thursday! 

In math we will be making Shapes on a Geoboard, Describing and Comparing the Attributes of Geometric Shapes, Placing an Object on a Real Graph, Identifying Ordinal Position, Paying for Items Using Pennies, Creating, Describing, and Extending Shape Patterns. 

 

In reading we will read the story Little Quack.  This is an animal fantasy book and we will discuss the plot of a story.  We really enjoyed the Panda cam from the SanDiego zoo.  You can check it out on your home computer.  Just google search Panda Cam.  There is also a panda cam at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.

 

We will be making reindeer food, a Santa key and a Santa cookie plate.  We will have a special Polar Express day on our last school day before Christmas!  More information will follow!   The “elf on the shelf” is keeping track of everyone and reporting to Santa!

We enjoyed our “Seat Belt Program” presented by the North Central Highway Safety Organization.
