Week of November 17th

Dear Kinder-Parent,
Thanksgiving is almost here, and so is our Kindergarten Thanksgiving feast! I have included the items that your child has been selected to bring to the feast next week. Please fill out the form, and keep the top half for yourself. Our Thanksgiving re-enactment would not be complete without some yummy dishes! Thank you in advance for your contribution.
This week in Kindergarten, we are learning about letter-sound N. Our new popcorn words are “have” and “it,” and our spelling words are “can” and “rat.” We continue to investigate patterns and learn more about the ways of the pilgrims and Native Americans. Please encourage your child to retell the meaning of Thanksgiving.
Next month, students will be tested on number words one though ten. You can begin studying at home now with flash cards.
Our Show and Tell presenters this week are Jackson, Dominic, Ariyanna and Alex. Please pack your child something he/ she is thankful for on Friday.
Have a wonderful week!

Love,
Mrs. McGee

Week of November 12

Dear Kinder-Parent,
I hope you all enjoyed our lengthy weekend! I have reduced the number of activities in our homework packet, which will still be due on Friday. Please remember to have your child color whenever possible, even if it is not stated in the directions.
This Friday, Student Council has organized “Jeans for Greens.” For $1, your students may wear jeans to school. He/she will still need to wear a St. Jerome top. If your kindergartner would like to participate, please be sure to send $1 in an envelope with a name and grade.
It may be a quick week, but we will still be learning so much! Our letter is F and we are really beginning to explore what Thanksgiving is all about. We will discuss family, pilgrims, Native Americans and what life was like a long time ago. We will continue learning about shapes and patterns. There are no new sight words, so you may take this time to review already learned popcorn words.
Our Show-and-Tell presenters are Brenda, Morgan, Ifeoma and Keyante. Please pack them an item that they are thankful for.
Have a wonderful week!

Love,
Mrs. McGee
