STUFFED ANIMAL DAY!
We earned our goal of earning 100 tally marks
and our reward was bringing our stuffed animals to school one day. It was so much fun! All the students were teachers and taught
their animal what Kindergarten Leaders are all about! Take a look at some of the things we did...
We taught them how to sit with power.
How to be a Kindergarten Leader and clean the room.
We taught them how to follow directions in Spanish Class with Mrs. Sorensen
We taught them how to sit in a chair and listen.
We taught them how to read a book
and say the pledge.
We taught them the snap words: you, me
and all about solid 3D shapes.
MATH ~ Patterns
We worked on PATTERNING a lot last week. Please take time to look for patterns at
home and point them out to your child. They could be patterns with
objects, colors, numbers and letters of the alphabet.
So far we have
learned how to make an AB, ABC and AAB patterns. They will be using this
knowledge when they create their graham cracker house.
Monday we will be making a Christmas
Countdown Chain with an AB pattern using the colors RED and GREEN. I hope you will hang this up
somewhere special. Each day help your child to remember to tear one chain
off and practice their counting skills.
Ex. “My chain had 19 links. I took 1
away. Now I have 18 links left.”
“I have 8 red links and 9 green
links. 9 is more than 8. 8 is less than 9.”
Show your child these patterns and have them tell you what comes next.
Is each row an AB, ABC, or AAB pattern?
Home Learn Folder
This week in your
child’s Home Learn Folder you will see:
A Pizza Hut Coupon
If your child turned in their reading minutes for November they have earned a
FREE personal pan pizza (compliments of Pizza Hut). Thank you for supporting you child’s learning
by having them read or by reading to them every week. Especially on RAZ KIDS! Don’t
forget to write down all of their minutes on the homework bookmark each week.
Math
Unit 5 Assessment ~ Shapes
Please celebrate your child’s
successes on this test! Everyone did so
well! It has been so fun to hear the children talk about and describe the attributes
of a shape. I also LOVED seeing what they brought from home for their Shapes Show and Tell! Some kids earned 14 and 15 pennies for all of the shapes they brought!

TUESDAY ~ We will be going on
our field trip to the Ogden Nature Center to learn about animals in
the winter! We will learn that they
hibernate, generate, propagate, insulate, and migrate. We will also be making bird feeders and crawl
through a bear den and mice holes.
Please make sure
you send your child in full winter gear: coat, hat, mittens or gloves, and
boots or sturdy shoes. Part of the time
we will be outside – regardless of the weather. We will also be wearing our school uniform
that day.
