Dear Families,

During Ee week we learned to read the word the. The words that we have been practicing are a, an, and, I, that, the, Dan, Dad, and Nan. The boys and girls brought home a booklet entitled The House. The kindergartners like to find these words in stories and papers. We practiced coloring, cutting, and pasting when we made some elves. The teachers kept these so that they could look at them. We started doing Cc work because next week is so short!

Again this week we’ve had to deal with wintery weather. During the winter season please make sure that you remain aware of the weather. It is helpful to pay attention to one of the radio stations or tv stations for early dismissal, late starts, or closings. Families sent back notes concerning early dismissal plans. Hopefully we do not have to use them again!

Next week we will be studying the letter Cc. THERE WILL BE NO SHARING NEXT WEEK!

Earlier in December we contacted the families that were chosen to supply our classroom with napkins and treats for the Christmas program. We are very lucky because so many of our families filled out the volunteer sheets at the beginning of the year, and many families volunteered to do many things. We try to spread out the volunteer fun throughout the year to as many families as possible, so we contact new families for each party. Because of the fantastic number of families that volunteer, we probably will not get to use each family. If you did not hear from us, you get to relax this holiday season. You may be contacted for the next party.

Our classroom Christmas party will be on Tuesday, December 20th. Remember, boys bring a grab bag type gift for boys, and girls bring a grab bag type gift for girls. The price limit is $2.

On Wednesday, December 21st, we will be going to the Traer Nursing Home to sing our Holiday songs. Third graders will be joining us. Don’t forget that school is dismissed early on Wednesday. Town students will be dismissed at 2:20, and bus students at 2:25.

After Christmas the kindergartners need to bring in new crayons if they haven’t done so already. They may bring in a box of 16 or a box of 24. Check with your child to see if he or she needs a new glue stick. We have been doing many gluing projects, and some glue sticks need replaced.

We hope that you weekend is extraordinary!
