Weekly Update

December 17, 2018

Can you believe it is the last week before Christmas break? This year is just flying by! We will be celebrating Christmas in our class this Friday at 1:30. I just have one more gift to wrap for each kiddo, and I am ready ;). We will also be having a pajama day on Friday so your kiddo is welcome to wear their pj's as long they meet modesty rules! 

Sight Words:
We have five new words this week. They are:

1. do
2. for
3. of
4. are
5. good

Math:
We will continue reviewing addition and subtraction this week. We took a test on it last week so that I could see how they are doing. I feel it is beneficial to keep working on it a little longer :).

Behavior:
It is not uncommon for behavior to be more of a struggle the week before Christmas, with all the excitement for Christmas and break it is understandable! However, we still have expectations of our students to make good choices. Our party is this Friday and I look forward to celebrating with them! Please encourage your child to make good choices so that they can celebrate too!

Sorry I am a day late getting this posted!

Sight Words:
This week we have 6 new words instead of 5. They are:

1. she
2. her
3. by
4. my
5. small
6. all

Math:
We will be continuing to work on addition and subtraction this week. We will also be taking a post test to see how we are doing on this. We are working hard on being able to do both of them in different ways.

Snow Day Packet:
Your student is bringing home a packet of work that says "Snow Day Packet" on it. This is a packet of work for your student to work on in the case of excessive snow days. After the Snowpocolypse of 2016, we have started preparing ahead of time. Please make sure this packet gets put away in a safe place. In the case of a snow day, please check your email for further instructions from me. I will also be emailing you an electronic copy of the packet so that if you lose it, you can print it at home. All of our make up work will be done in this packet so that the high school siblings will have access to computers if needed.

Christmas Party/Polar Express Day/Pajama Day:
Our Christmas Party will be next Friday the 21st at 1:30. Students are invited to wear pajamas on this day!

Christmas Break:

Christmas break is almost here! There will be no school from December 22nd-January 6th. School will resume on January 7th.

Weekly Update

December 3, 2018

Welcome to December! This is my favorite time of year in kindergarten! We have so many fun things planned :).

Sight Words:
We have five new sight words this week. They are:

1. as
2. is
3. has
4. now
5. down

Math:
This week we are continuing our work on subtraction and being able to show how we subtract in different ways.

Warm Clothes:
Please make sure your child brings a coat to school every day. It is cold out and we go outside every day. If your child is well enough to be at school, they are well enough to go outside so we don't leave anyone inside. If they forget a coat, I have them grab a coat from the lost and found on the way out. If you need help getting them warm winter clothes, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I would love to help you!

Warm Weather Clothing Drive:

Vision Charter is partnering with Boise Rescue Mission this Holiday season to collect warm socks, gloves or mittens, and warm hats for children and teens of all ages.  These items need to be new; used items will not be able to be accepted. You may drop off any of these items to the collection barrel in our main entrance.

Book Order:

Book orders will come home this week. The order has to be submitted by the 10th to guarantee delivery by the 20th. If you would like to order books as Christmas gifts, please email me and let me know. I will set them aside and send them to the office so that you can pick them up there without your student knowing.

REMINDER! NO SCHOOL THIS FRIDAY! There is no school this Friday the 7th. Teachers will be here for in-service, but the kiddos get a nice long weekend :).
