December 16-20



This week in Kindergarten has been an exciting one! The students have been so very excited for the winter break and all the fun things that they have planned. 

Our new word wall words this week were "was" and "are". 

Our poem was "Reindeer Snack". We really loved making our own reindeer snack! 

Our big book was "Up In The Cloud Forest". We enjoyed learning about all new animals. 

For our read aloud, we focused on "The Gingerbread Girl". We worked on predicting, retelling, comparing our story to "The Gingerbread Man", making inferences, telling our favorite parts, and answering comprehension questions. 

In writing, we have been working on how to books. The students have been enjoying more freedom during writing time and more choices in their writing topics. 

For math, we have been focusing on counting and number order! All the students have been learning and making growth in their number sense! I am very proud of them. 

I hope that you all enjoy your winter break and that you have a wonderful holiday season! 

Hot Chocolate Party

During the month of December we have been playing classroom Bingo. The students made the decision to work towards earning a hot chocolate party and even asked if they could do blackout if I added in marshmallows. 

Early this week the students earned their hot chocolate party and yesterday we finally got to have some hot chocolate. The students absolutely loved it!

Grinch Movie Permission Forms

On December 20th I am hoping to show "The Grinch". 

The movie is rated PG and therefore we need parent permission to show the movie in school. Permission slips will be coming home today and I ask that you sign and return them by Monday, December 16th. 

We will not be watching the (sometimes) scary Jim Carrey version but the new cartoon one that was released in 2018! Here is a trailer of the movie!
