Our Resources for the week are: Monday- Art Media, Tuesday- #1-18 Music and #19-37 P.E. and Wednesday- Art. Wednesday we are having a Winter Activity Day... Library Style! :) Our favorite Librarian, Mrs. Noah Thomas will be coming in to celebrate with us. Thursday is Pajama Day. The students may bring one stuffed animal, make sure it fits inside of their backpack. NO SLIPPERS please!
Reminder: There will be no homework sent home this week. We want everyone to be homework free over Winter Break. :)
ooh Monday is Calleigh's birthday, make sure to wish her a Happy Birthday. She will be joining the 6 year old club!!
MATH
Our focus shifts from weight to length this week in our measurement
unit. We begin measuring the length of shoes and then objects around our
classroom. Non-standard units such as sticks, cubes, paper clips are
used to measure in Kindergarten.
The important concept is that all the units you use to measure are the
same or the outcome varies! We finish measuring with length right after
the New Year. Also, number recognition to 20. We will be diving into addition and subtraction soon after we return from the winter break!
Over the break continue working on counting to 100 by tens and ones. Count along and do the Macarena with this video!

ELA
(English Language Arts~ Reading and Writing)
We are going to review all the sight words we have learned and focus on letter sounds: sound recognition, writing letters for sounds the teacher gives, beginning sounds, blending and rhyming.
Monday we will learn about India and celebrate Diwali. Tuesday we will learn about Germany and celebrate Christmas. Then on Wednesday, your child will bring home their "suitcase" and all the souvenirs we have been making! :) The rest of the week we will focus on reading Holiday stories and retelling the stories with character names and events in the order that they happen.
Here is the story of the Gingerbread Man, watch the video and then practice retelling the story.

taste of this watching video clips from the space station.
