December 2, 2005
Dear Families,
During Mm week we made Mm booklets. We read many books written by Mercer Mayer and Robert Munsch. The boys and girls graphed using M & M’s and made months of the year booklets. This week the boys and girls started dictating letters to Santa. The Santa letters are being typed on the computer. The letters are mailed to Santa at the North Pole. (The Post Office will deliver letters addressed to the North Pole to Santa. If you do this at home, make sure that you have your address on the letter!) Santa normally finds time to write back. Sometimes Santa mails his letters directly to the kindergartners. Sometimes the kindergartners’ letters from Santa come to the school since we mail the original letters all together.
Next week we will be studying the letter Dd. Sharing for next week needs to be an item that starts with the letter Dd. During Dd week we like to turn our dramatic play center into a doctor’s office. (It has been a house.) Many families have doctor kits or other doctorish items at home. If you would like to send the doctor items to school, please put your child’s name on each item. These things will come home before Christmas.
Winter weather is here. Remember, when there is measurable snow on the ground, boots are required. Children stay warmer and drier when they wear snow pants. Please send hats, earmuffs, headbands, mittens, gloves, etc. every day. Please write your child’s name on every item!
Book orders were sent in this week. We will assume that book orders may be given to your student unless you let us know that it is a gift. (Some families have already told us this information.) For those that are buying books as gifts, we will let you know when they are delivered to the school.
Stay warm and safe! Notice the December Sharing Schedule at the bottom of this paper!

December Sharing Schedule
December 5 - 9: An item that starts with Dd
December 12 - 16: Free choice item (It will be Ee week.)
December 19 - 21: No sharing
(See the back for important info! If you already filled this out and sent it to school, please disregard)
Last week we wrote about Santa letters in the newsletter. The Traer Star Clipper needs these letters finished by December 9th. In order to get 36 letters finished without going crazy, we need your help. Please help your kindergartner think of ways they have been good or helpful at home. Also help your child brainstorm 3 or 4 items he/she really wants for Christmas. Fill out the bottom portion of this newsletter and send it back to school. We feel that this will be especially helpful to us when it is time to start writing these fun letters.
