Weekly Newsletter December 5-8

 

Dear Families,

We have been working hard in Kindergarten! Can you believe there are only 8 school days before our Holiday break - WOW! 

ELA 

This week we focused on the story Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson. We also read a non-fiction book about Brown Bears.  We worked on many skills including visualizing, retelling, and adding to our schema about brown bears! Be sure to ask your child to share a few brown bear facts with you.

Hibernate and Lair were our 2 new vocabulary words. Ask us what they mean!

In phonics, we worked with the /ot/ and /ob/ family.  We made words, blended sounds, segmented sounds and read words with these two endings.  We could practice writing words like hot, pot, cot, shot, cob, rob, job and slob!

We loved our new poem this week! We hope you enjoyed watching us on SeeSaw!

Our new sight words were /this/ and /one/. We loved trying to find Bear's friends in our smartboard game this week.  Ask us to read the words and tell you where Raven, Hare and Mouse were hiding.

Math

We played a fun game in math this week. It is called Read My Mind - and you can play it at home too.  Mrs. Rocky picked a number and only told it to Mrs. Neuville. Then, we all wrote our numbers from 0-10 or 0-20 on our dry-erase boards.  We took turns guessing the secret number.  Mrs. Rocky would tell us if the secret number was greater or less than the number we guessed - we would then cross out the numbers on our board. We loved playing Read My Mind!

Science

We continue to learn about the Seasons and Weather.  This week our science vocabulary words were temperature and thermometer!

*Please send your child's LABELED snow clothes in a separate bag. We do not want to put wet snow pants/mittens in their backpacks.

* ALL students go outside for recess in the winter - please make sure your child has proper snow attire.

*Extra mittens and socks is always a good idea on those wet, snowy days!

*Thank you for ALL of the Gingerbread House supplies - we are looking forward to our decorating day on Friday, December 16th at 2:50.  If you will be coming in to help, please remember to check in at the office - you will need to have your driver's license and go through the Raptor screening.

*Our last day of school before Winter Break is Wednesday, Dec. 21st. We will be celebrating with our GRINCH Day!

Have a wonderful weekend!

💚💛 Mrs. Neuville and Mrs. Rocky
