December 18, 2009

Dear Families,

This week we worked on the letter Zz. We learned about zebras, made Zz booklets, and wrote the beginning and ending sounds on a zoo animal worksheet. The kindergartners journaled about their favorite zoo animals. We continued to work on evaluations for the report cards. The boys and girls need to know or be able to do the following for their report cards: addresses, birthdays, days of the week, phone numbers, count to 50 (100 would be even better!), identify a penny and its value, identify the letters we have learned so far Aa, Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp, Rr, Ss, Tt, Uu and Zz. The boys and girls need to be able to associate sounds to the consonant letters, identify the numbers 0 - 16, identify left and right, and count objects to numbers between 0 - 18.

THERE WILL BE NO SHARING NEXT WEEK!

Many boys and girls need new glue sticks. We have been gluing a lot, and many glue sticks have run out of glue!

We will NOT be going to the Traer nursing home this year. We have missed a bunch of school and are behind in some of our work.

School parties will be on Tuesday, December 22nd! Don’t forget about the grab bag gift! School will be dismissed one hour early on Wednesday, December 23rd!

Christmas break will begin on Wednesday, December 24th and end on Sunday, January 3rd. We will see the kindergartners again on Monday, January 4th! Notice the sharing list at the bottom of the sheet! When we return will will be learning about the letter Cc. Sharing for the week of January 4th should start with the letter Cc.!

This will be the last newsletter of 2009. We will NOT send a newsletter home next week

Have a great holiday season!

Mrs. Owens and Mrs. Daugherty
