December

It is hard to believe we've been in school a little over 3 months or as the children will tell you - 61 days!!! Time has just flown by & I hope you are seeing the fruits of our labor!!
We have been working very hard visually recognizing/writing numbers to 10, counting to 30, learning ordinal terms to 10 (first, second, third, up thru tenth), recognizing/learning sight word flash cards on our folders (the - a - my - that - and - I - is - said ....& soon we'll be adding 4 new words: we - are - you - have), recognizing/learning the sounds of letters taught ( Aa - Nn - Dd - Ss - Mm & Ii), & reciting the alphabet in sequence. These skills are all critical areas to focus on at home.
The second grading period midterm is Dec. 9th, so that means we are about 5 weeks away from our next report card.
I am sending home 3 letters today - look for information about the Christmas party/gift exchange, Polar Express Day, & a note about boots in your child's folder. Just in case they don't reach you, I will post each letter on this web page under the heading "Classroom News".
Important December dates to keep in mind:
- 10th is K1's Santa's Workshop Day
- 16th is Ms. Stegich's last day
- 18th is the Kindergarten Polar Express Pajama Day
- 22nd is our classroom Christmas Party
- 23rd is the last day of school before Christmas vacation - on that day, we'll be having a 2 hour early dismissal so please plan accordingly.
