Encourage your child to write a story—look for a capital at the beginning, spaces in between words and a period at the end.

December

We are having a great time in kindergarten! I am excited about the progress each child continues to make. I am enjoying each one of them. Thanks for your support and help at home. The new sight word for this week is did.

This week we will also learn more about the December holidays celebrated in various cultures. We will celebrate the diversity of holiday traditions celebrated around the world.
Please have your child practice writing his/her last name. This is one of the requirements on the third quarter assessment, so if we start working on it now, each child will have it mastered! Also, keep working on address, phone number and birthday if your child is unsure of these three things. Thanks again for your help!

Our classroom Christmas party will be on Friday. If you signed up to bring something, your child has a reminder inside his/her homework folder.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday break! Please contact me with any questions or concerns!
