Dear Kinder-Parent,
Today is a very special day! Not only will we be celebrating the inauguration at mass, but students will be able to watch clips in class as well. I am looking forward to discussing this historical event with your children.
Rather than a homework packet, this week students will have a project. I have sent a folded strip of construction paper. Students are to write numbers 1-4 in the space provided in each box ( 1 number per box). They must glue on any household items to represent that number in each box. For example, in the 3 box, they may glue 3 bottle caps. Students may use any objects that will adhere with ease (i.e. macaroni shells, foam pieces, etc.) This project is due Friday. Also, encourage your child to rehearse his/her line everyday for our M.L.K presentation on January 30th.
We will be learning about words that have the short I sound (pig, kid, pin, etc.) Our spelling words this week are pig, big, pan and tin. Our new popcorn words are “up” and “a.” Your child must practice writing spelling words at home. We are also beginning a very exciting unit about penguins and the Artic! As we continue learning about community, we are going to have a coach deliver a presentation on Thursday.
Show and Tell presenters on Friday are Eki, Chloe Dylan and Kaila.
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Mrs. McGee

Week of January 12th
Dear Kinder-Parent,
As we move toward the end of the month, I will be taking time to assess each child one-on-one. Please take time to review with your child the skills I have listed in the packet. I am very excited to closely examine all of the progress we have made!
This week, we will begin to learn about our community. If there are any parents who would like to come in and give a presentation about their career, please notify me as soon as possible so that we can schedule a time. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to discover important jobs in our community.
Our curriculum will consist of number concepts, letter G, and more about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Students will be presenting a mini-skit on January 30th for the entire school! Please mark your calendars for 8 a.m., as we would love for you to be a part of our audience. We will also continue exploring animals and their preparation for winter. We will conclude our week with Gateway to Art on Friday.
Our Show and Tell presenters this week are Dominic, Ariyanna, Alex and Samara. Please pack them a special object in their backpacks on Friday.
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Mrs. McGee

Week of December 8th
Dear Kinder-Parent,
I am very much looking forward to our Giving Party on Friday! If you have not signed up to bring something, I will be assigning items on Wednesday. I ask that each Kindergartner comes with a book (kinder appropriate) to wrap and donate to Our Lady of Victory School. Please contact me if you are unable to participate.
We will be attending school mass today. Our letter of the week is P, and we are beginning a math chapter that explores number concepts. We will be reading many stories about pigs, as well as creating a “Christmas and My Senses” book.
Spelling words for the week are: pat, sat and go. Please practice writing these words at home.
Also, please ensure that your child is coloring whenever possible on the homework packets. Even if the directions do not call for coloring, it is great practice for developing our fine-motor skills and artistic abilities!
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Mrs. McGee

Week of December 1st
Dear Kinder-Parent,
What a wonderful feast we had! Our Native Americans and pilgrims did a fantastic job of reenacting the first Thanksgiving. Thank you for all of your help in making our feast a success. Now with that complete, we can look forward to learning about and celebrating the Christmas holiday.
This week in Kindergarten curriculum, our new popcorn words are “do” and “not.” Children will need to write the words “map”, “pan” and “the” for our Friday spelling test. We are reviewing beginning and ending sounds, as well as continuing to understand patterns. We will learn more about the food groups this week as well.
This year, our Christmas program is an around the world theme. Kindergarten will be singing songs from Mexico and Australia. Please see the bulletin for Christmas Program dress requirements. Kinders will also be asked to wear a beach hat.
Show and Tell will be given by Samara, Chloe, Dylan and Kaila. On Friday, please help them to select an item that is very special to them.
Reminders: Number words will be tested on Monday, December 15th. Also, please be sure to R.S.V.P. for our Christmas Giving Party if you have not done so yet. You will need to fill in the sign up sheet located outside the Kindergarten room as well!
Have a wonderful week!

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!

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
