The End of the First Semester

Sorry for the delay in posting.   I overbooked my weekend with family time!

Can you believe this is the end of the first semester of Kindergarten?  Unfortunately, the second semester goes by just as quick.  We will just have to cherish each day!  We were busy last week working on a few art projects.  Thanks to all the moms who have helped out recently.


We are going to have as normal of a week as possible up until Thursday afternoon.  Be sure to check book bags on Friday afternoon for December artwork you may want to keep or display.

Nancy's Italian Ice is $1.00 on Monday.  Our library day is also Monday.  Please return poetry journals on Monday for a new poem to come home on Friday.  

I will continue to assess for report cards this week.

There will be an assessment on counting, representing and writing numbers 6-9.  Look for December calendar pages to come home in Friday's backpack.

In reading we will be investigating the letters Bb and Nn.  Our new sight words are:  me, with, she. 

The following are slide shows from our recent special people of the week.


And one more great kid!


A permission slip will be sent home this week for our January 9 field trip to Good Night Moon at ASF.  Everyone has paid for this field trip so all you need to do is sign and return the form.

If you asked the students the most important thing about this week the answer would be Thursday, December 19.  We've been counting down the days until we take a break from learning and have a party!  Our classroom party will be Thursday, December 19 from 1:45-2:30.   Contact the room moms for more details about assisting with preparations for the party.  You may check your child out after the party.  The following is the most efficient way to check your child out:
1.  Before the party begins, there will be a table set up for check outs in front of the office.  Once you fill out the necessary paperwork, you will be given a slip of paper to hand me.  This paper allows me to release your child at the end of the party.
2.  Be sure to hand me the slip of paper once you enter the classroom.  If I do not have the slip of paper then you must go to the office at the end of the party and check your child out.
3.  I will not release your child without the slip of paper from the office!


Friday is another fun day in Kindergarten.  We are going to watch the G-rated movie The Polar Express in our pajamas! Please let me know by Thursday if you prefer your child not to watch the movie.

Thank you for your quick response to our classroom need of liquid soap.  Our supply will get us through the flu season!

Have a wonderful winter break! Enjoy spending time with your child without the demands of a school schedule.  Read a lot of books,  do a lot of listening to all that your child has to say and cuddle!  Be safe and I'll see the members of Room 114 in 2014.  Thank you so much for loving and supporting our classroom!  Contact me with any questions or concerns.
