Inside Out

Dear Mom and Dad of AM kindergarten:

The AM students watched the movie Inside Out today. We have been looking at the zones of regulation and my teachers are impressed at our understanding of our own and others’ feelings. The Zones of Regulation is a school wide understanding and I have been learning all about the different tools I can use to help stay or move to the green zone (happy).

A HUGE Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Families Helping Families project. The gifts were delivered to the school where the families attend. As a school we loaded over 12 vehicles jammed packed! You have all made a less fortunate family extremely grateful this holiday season.

Question of the day: Post on the blog what Sparkle our elf was doing today!

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday.

Love,

Kindergarten

Housekeeping:

Pajama Day on Thursday December 17!!!

Gingerbread Decorating (please note the changes in red)

Over the next couple week until Winter Break we will be reading variations of the Gingerbread Man story.  On Thursday Dec. 17 we will be having pajama day and working on using what we know about combinations of 5 and decorating gingerbread people.  We would appreciate one parent volunteer from each class to assist with our decorating.  Please e-mail Sarah, our room volunteer (sarahaxt46@gmail.com) if you are able to help out!

We will also need donations for the following items for EACH AM and PM team:

•   22 x 3 gingerbread people for AM and 20 x 3 gingerbread people for PM

•   1 x 6 large bag of peanut-free Smarties or M&Ms

•   1 x 6 large bag of chocolate chips

•   1 x 6 large bag of mini jujubes

•   3 x 6 containers of white icing

•   1 box of assorted food coloring (that will be enough for the entire triad AM and PM)

Bulk barn is a great place to get these materials!

There is no expectation whatsoever for gingerbread and icing to be homemade - we welcome whatever you are able to send.  Please contact sarahaxt46@gmail.com if you are able to donate.  Thank you!
