Kindergarten News Week of December 7 – 11, 2009

This week we will continue Chapter 5 in Math. We will work on symmetry and basic fractions and will wrap up the chapter next week. In Phonics, we will be focusing on the letter Ff as in fish. We will continue to drill our sight words and our word list. Friday will be our quiz on the word list and also show and tell for letter Ff. In reading, we are finishing our story Bear Snores On. We have been reading stories that are make believe and using the word fantasy to describe this type of story. The children know that although these stories are fun to read, animals that talk and do things like people are make believe stories. Our next story in reading is called A Bed for Winter. Our focus skill of the week will be sequence.
Please remember that next Thursday, December 10 will be our Christmas music program. It will be held at the high school auditorium at 9:30. Children are allowed to wear any holiday attire that day.
Please remember if you are planning on having your child attend the Christmas party at the Ashland Hospital to send in your response.
There will be a holiday gathering on December 11 from 6 to 8 pm here at NSE cafeteria. There is a $2.00 admission charge and there will be snacks and drinks available for a small charge. There will be games, music, and a visit from Santa. If you would like more information please contact PTO officers.
Monday will be day 5 of our six day cycle. Please remember to wear your gym attire and sneakers. Have a great weekend!
