January 27, 2006
Dear Families,
It has been a jam packed week! We read the books I Am Not Jenny and The Jacket I Wear in the Snow. The kindergartners started recognizing and writing their last names. The children tasted jam and jelly and learned how jam and jelly are different. The kindergartners sang the song “John Jacob Jinglehimerschmitt.” We practiced filling out a January calendar and pretended jelly beans were magic and let us do things we cannot do now. This week we celebrated our 100th day of school on Thursday. We did many activities that included the number 100 including making a necklace. Centers included graphing jelly beans, the card game UNO, beans in the sensory table, blocks, sorting “junk”, counting objects into jars, and playdough.
Next week we will be learning about the letter Yy. Since there aren’t many items that start with the letter Yy, sharing is free choice. Notice the sharing list at the bottom of the sheet!
“Redhawks Reading” month will begin on Friday, January 27th. (This used to be called Read - A- Million- Minutes month.) Please make sure that you read the “Redhawks Reading” explanation note! Please keep track of the minutes read at home! Fill out the record sheet and send the correct portion to school on the dates listed in the explanation letter.
There is some special homework again this week. Attached is a paper with several sentences written on it. We want families to practice reading with their kindergartners. The kindergartners need to read each sentence to a family member 3 times, and an adult needs to sign the sheet. Children that bring in the note saying they did their homework may pick out a sticker.
Keep working on those valentines! Valentines may be brought to school between Monday, Feb. 6 and Tuesday, February 14th. Our party will be on the 14th. We contacted volunteers to provide treats and napkins this week.
On Saturday there is a 4-H carnival being held at the Reinig Center in Toledo. Games start at 6:00 and end at 8:30. There is a nominal fee for each game. Supper may be purchased in the lunchroom from 5:30 - 8:00. This event is open to the public.
