A Week In Review: December 5th

Literacy

Your children have been busy readers and writers this week.  In writing they have been learning to add details to their pictures so that they can better tell their stories to other people.  In reading we have been learning how to gather evidence from the text to prove our thinking.  We have been learning that you can look at a character's face to get evidence about how they are feeling.  

Math

In math we have been working with ordering numbers 1-10.  In one activity (pictured below), each child was given a number in a random order.  They had to work together to get in order from smallest to largest. They really impressed me with their ability to talk to each other and get themselves in the correct order.

Spirit Days

On Friday, we will be having WLE Spirit Days.  If your child ordered spirit wear, they should consider wearing on Friday.   If you did not order Spirit Wear, they can still show school spirit by dressing with black and orange!

Report Cards

Report cards will be available in Family Access on Wednesday at 4pm.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your child's report card/progress in Kindergarten.

Winter Gear

The kids were so excited to see the fluffy white snow falling on Friday.  Please remember to send your child to school with snow pants, boots, hats, and gloves each day.  It has been working out the best if these items are packed in a SEPARATE bag....not in their backpacks.  Many items are ending up in the lost and found, so if you have your child's name written on each item, you may e more likely to get it back if it becomes lost.

Holiday Party

Our Holiday Party will be on Thursday, December 22nd from 12-1:30pm.  Please let me know if you can help (thank you to those that have already volunteered).  We will be having a pizza lunch, doing a craft, and playing a game.  You will not need to send a lunch that day.
