Greetings Kindergarten Families!

THIS WEEK: 

We will continue learning about owls.  Students will create their own owl book with facts about owls and illustrations to match.  We will also continue to read and write about owls.  Our unit will come to a close with a visit from Chewonki.  They will be presenting to our class on Thursday morning. 

Below is an outline of the concepts that will be taught this week.

Math ·       Counting and Number Games ·       Number stories (adding and subtracting)

Science ·       Weather/Seasons ·       Owls

ASSEMBLY:

This morning students attended a school wide assembly.  A slide show was presented of students busy at work and play!  Classes also prepared special presentations to share with the school. The kindergarten class sang our school song.  Ask your child if they can sing it for you. The lyrics are written below.

REPORT CARD ENVELOPS:

If you have not already done so, please sign and return your child’s report card envelop tomorrow.  I was so impressed that everyone signed and returned them during the fist quarter.  Let’s do it again!

BOX TOPS:

We are still collecting box tops.  If you have box tops at home please send them to school in your child’s folder.  Remember all money raised will go directly to Dike-Newell school.  Thank you for your support!

WINTER CLOTHES:

Don’t forget to send your child to school with snow pant, boots, mittens/gloves and a hat.  Students must have these items on to play in the snow.

Thank you for your continued help and support. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns at 443-8285. 

Have a great week!
