January 13, 2006
Dear Families,
What a super week! We worked on report card evaluations and enjoyed all the secret sack sharing. The boys and girls enjoyed Ms. S because she had super socks that give her the ability to solve problems. We pretended that we our own pair of super socks and wrote in our new journals about the “powers” the super socks gave us. We learned about spiders. The kindergartners were taught 2 new words: is, said. (Yellow flashcards have been attached to this newsletter. Please cut them apart and review them with your kindergartner frequently!) The kindergartners read and brought home 2 more little booklets to practice reading with their families. The booklets were entitled “Sid Said” and “Is Sam Mad?”. This week we started something new. We started centers. During center time, the kindergartners rotated through 7 different activities. The children spent approximately 10 minutes at each center and moved when the timer rang. Centers included straw painting, the store dramatic play center, a sink/float activity, the story Seven Silly Eaters, counting with sunflower seeds and soybeans, making snowflakes, and drawing a person.
Ww is the letter that we will be studying next week. The sharing is to bring something that begins with the letter Ww or a winter item. We hope to work a winter walk into the Wednesday afternoon schedule next week.
The quarter ended on January 12th. We believe that report cards will go home on January 20th. Our last parent/teacher conference will be held in the middle of February. If you have a concern about your child’s progress that you would like to discuss before the conferences, please contact us. We are willing to meet with families that have questions or concerns.
There is no school on Monday, January 16th. The teachers have many important meetings to attend.
Have a super and safe weekend!
Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Owens, and Mrs. Herink
