Week of December 2nd

        Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten!  Last year we were only a few cans away from winning the holiday food drive!  Please help our class win first place this year!  Some items they are looking for are: potatoes(box), stuffing(box), peanut butter and jelly, gravy(can), tuna(can), rice(bag), beans(bags and cans), spaghetti and sauce, soups, corn(can), green beans(can), cereal(boxed), yams(can) and boxed brownies.
       Chilly fall mornings are here which is wonderful but the afternoons are still warm.  Please make sure that your student’s sweater or jacket is labeled with their name inside so it does not get lost.  Any sweater can be worn outside but if your student wants to wear their sweater inside the classroom it needs to be a solid red, white or navy blue color.

       This week in class we will be learning the letter P and the sound that it makes.  We will also be reading about animals and starting some of our holiday arts and crafts!  We will also have our unit 5 math test this week.

       Next week I will be testing for the 2^nd quarter report card. Please count with your student every day, to at least 50.  Some important sight words to review daily are have, is, we, like, to, the and little. Also keep reviewing those numbers, especially the teens!  

       This Wednesday, December 4^th, is Duds for Dollars.  Your student may dress down for $1.  Reminder, your student may not wear sandals or tank tops on these days. This is a great way to fundraise for our class.  We are saving up for some pairs of headphones for our computers!
