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

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!

Housekeeping Items

**there is no school tomorrow and Friday.

Today was Mrs. Smith's last day with us :(

It was also Mrs. Bateman, Ms. L and Mrs. K's last day as well :(

You all will become amazing teachers. We wish you all the best! 

We are looking forward to seeing you at conferences tomorrow Thursday December 3 and Friday December 4! Please bring your child with you. It will be very helpful to get the chance to chat with you and your child.

Parents, please arrive on time for your conferences and come into the classroom at your start time. We will do our best to stick to the schedule so that everyone gets their allotted time of 15 minutes. Please note that we each have over 40 students and we are booked back to back. Your child’s visual journals will be in the hallway where you can take a moment before or after your conference to share their work.

The kindergarten lost and found will be right outside our classroom as well. Please take a look at these items. If they are not claimed by the weekend, we will put them in the school lost and found and by winter break they will then be donated.

Parents please make sure all of your child’s belongings are LABELED. There are many items that are duplicates in our classroom and it is very helpful when things are labeled so that they can be returned to the rightful owner. Thank you for your help with this.

Elf on the Shelf

Dear Mom and Dad:

Kindergarten were asked to pick up a special package from the office today! We each had a chance to hold it and wonder what it was. I wrote in my writing journals today. I used the sentence started “ I wonder…” Ask me to tell you what I thought it was.

We then opened it as a class. Ask me to tell you what it was!

It was our very own “elf on the shelf”. Some of us might have an elf on the shelf at home but now we have one in kindergarten. It came with a book and it had a lot of information about why the elf is there.

We also needed to name the elf. The AM named her “Sparkle” and the PM named our elf “Leesha”.

Question of the day: Where do you think we will find our elf tomorrow in the classroom?

Love,

Kindergarten

The Gingerbread Man

Dear Mom and Dad:

We read a story called “The Gingerbread Man” Ask me to tell you what this story was about. We talked a little about sequencing and what happens first, next and last in a story.

We made our own paper gingerbread men. My teachers were impressed with how I followed directions because there was a lot of steps. Ask me to tell you what some of the steps were and how I decorated my gingerbread man.

We have been working hard at practicing our songs for our upcoming concert! I will have a dress rehearsal during the day on Tuesday December 8.

AM kindergarten will perform at 6:00pm (please arrive at 5:45pm)

PM kindergarten will perform at 6:45pm (please arrive at 6:30pm)

Students will go to the kindergarten room while parents find a seat in the gym!

Love,

Kindergarten
