Nov. 20-Dec. 1

Hi Kindergarten Families, 

Since we only have school on Monday and Tuesday next week, we’ll spend time reviewing prior concepts and continuing to observe and study our caterpillars who will likely begin to form their chrysalises any day now!   On Tuesday, we will have a small “feast” in honor of Thanksgiving.  We will give the students a small snack and focus on manners, friendship and the meaning of being “thankful” and “giving”.  With Thanksgiving on our mind, I’d like to thank all of you who have volunteered/donated to our class in many different ways this year. Without your support we would not be able to do so many exciting activities in our class. We are very thankful for each and every one of you and your wonderful children!

When we return to school the following week, we will continue our butterfly unit by painting monarch butterflies and studying the symmetry of the patterns on their wings.  We will do more butterfly themed math and writing as well. The word of the week will be “are” and we will focus on the “_ig” word family.

We have finished up unit 2 of our math curriculum so if you’d like to review these concepts at home with your child, please help them work on pages 17-42 in the take home math books that we gave you last month.

I wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving filled with friends, family, and all the things that you love!

Mrs. Sandman
