Hello Families!
It's our last week of school during 2016 (wow). The kids are definitely excited about the holidays, but that hasn't stopped them from doing fantastic work.
Here is what we have coming up:
Important Dates
Week of 12/19-23: Holiday Spirit Week. Please see the attachment in Friday's email for specifics. Please note 12/22 will no longer be pajama day.
Friday, 12/23: Free dress day; small classroom celebration during the last hour of class--11:45-12:40. I would love to have lots of parent helpers for this! Please let me know if you would like to volunteer.
Thursday, 1/12: Kindergarten field trip to see the Sacramento Theater Company production of Shrek. Please print and return the permission slip sent in last Friday's Friday's homework email. Thank you to everyone who has sent these in.
Language Arts
We have been writing a ton! Stop by the room to see paragraphs about what we would do with a pet reindeer and how to stay warm when it's cold outside. This week we will finish working on opinion pieces about giving vs getting gifts.
Please be sure to read with your child during our two week break! They have all come so far and they need the consistent practice to keep their momentum going.
Math
This week we are practicing addition. The kids are loving this work, and are getting very good at it!
Some strategies I have taught them to use when adding are to draw a picture, use objects like pennies, or to use a number line. They can use any or all of these when completing this week's homework.
Thank you for reading, everyone! I hope you all have a relaxing and joyful holiday. I will see everyone on Monday, January 9.
