What a busy, but fun couple of weeks we have had! First of all, I would like to thank all of the wonderful families that attended conferences. I really enjoyed getting to visit with you and getting to share your child's growth so far in kindergarten. It was evident how much you cared about your child in your presence at the conference, your questions, and your willingness to begin taking home book bags and other resources. It's comforting knowing that we are in this together.
The kindergartners are in the holiday spirit! You will see from the pictures and video below, that the kids are excited for the holidays coming up. It's been fun to be a part of it, as it is one of my favorite times of the year, too. They definitely know the way to my heart.
You'll find in the pictures that we have been working on addition number sentences and the meaning of the + and = symbols. The kids are really starting to get the hang of it! We are also practicing rolling two dice and adding them together as we practice writing the number that they equal. You will also find pictures from the winter concert (the ones with the funny faces!).
I also wanted to give you some information for the upcoming week, as it is the last week before winter break. On Thursday, we will be having a Polar Express day, where we will watch the movie, do Polar Express themed math and reading activities, and drink hot chocolate! I cannot wait! We invite all of the kindergartners to wear their pajamas and bring a blanket and/or stuffed animal on that day. Please keep in mind that weather permitting, the kids will need appropriate recess gear and shoes. Also, in case of a school delay, we will do Polar Express day on Friday (the same day as our winter party). Have a great week!
