I can't believe it's the last week before Christmas break! This semester has just flown by!
Literacy
This week we are just doing some reviewing. We'll talk about some of the letters we've learned and also about the word families we've worked on: -at, -an, -ag.
We will also be reviewing word wall words this week.
In writing this week we are learning about pattern books. We started this a little last week. We will be working on opposite pattern book and list pattern books. I think the kids enjoy them, but also miss writing about things they know and love!
Math
In Math we are working on drawing numbers of objects using five groups. For example, 8 would be five and then three more. We will also be sorting objects by color, shape, and size. If you have anything to sort at home, that would be a great activity to do over break!
Social Studies
We will be talking about Hanukkah and Kwannza this week and doing a couple activities related to those holidays!
Donations!
We are once again in need of some donated items. Here is a list of a few that are needed now in our classroom:
1. Hand sanitizer
2. batteries
3. white board markers
4. page protectors
5. glue sticks
If you are able to donate any of these items please feel free to bring them to me or send them to school with your student. Thank you!
Homework
Don't forget to get those homework sheets finished up! Christmas break would be a great time to do that! Remember they are due January 11th!
Have a great week and have a Merry Christmas!

Literacy
This week we are working on the letter Gg and our alphafriend is Gertie Goose. Talk with your child about words that start with the /g/ sound as we will be making a list on Friday! In kindergarten we only specifically focus on the /g/ sound. The /j/ sound will be addressed more formally in 1st grade.
We have two new word wall words this week: love, go.
In writing this week we are learning new ways to share our stories, at our tables or with our partners. We are also discussing how we can use resources like our sight words and word family words to help us spell words quickly when we are writing.
Math
In math we are working on finding partners in numbers. For example, partners for 6 would be: 5+1, 4+2, and 3+3. We are also working on drawing numbers of objects using five groups. For example, 8 would be five and then three more.
Social Studies
We will be visiting a little more about People and Celebrations. We will be talking about how different cultures protect their citizens and that we have the different branches of the military. We will be making cards for a young friend of mine who is in basic training!
