Welcome back to school. It was nice to see everyone back and healthy! I hope we can stay that way.
Please remember to send your child dressed appropriately for playing outside. Even with the milder temperatures this week, there is still a lot of snow on the playground, so ski-pants, boots, mitts and hats are needed.
Book orders went home today with our homeroom, and are due back on January 16th.
Homework for Kindergarten:
*We are all finished the Jolly Phonics Sounds, but please continue to review them each night (I put the little sounds books in with the reading bags).
*Read a book every night and write it in your reading log. Once a week you will have a reading response to do as well.
*In the reading bags, you will see "Word Box" bags coming home starting this week or next. Your child simply has to sound out/read these words to you, and then put them back in the bag and return to school the next day for the next child to take home. There are 18 bags all together.
*Finish red homework duotang and game by Friday. You'll notice that we know have 3 tricky words each week (I forgot to put the word "as" in with the homework, so I will add it as they come back).
*Practice the tricky words and sight words every night, until you can read them quickly.
*In math, we are starting a unit on geometry, and will be learning about 3-D and 2-D shapes.
Elementary Drama:
*This week will be the last regular "Drama Club". We will play some games and test out our voices on the stage. Starting next Wednesday, we will be working on our play for the Drama Festival in May, which only has a cast of about 16. Thank you to everyone who has been coming to Drama Club. If you don't get a part in the play this year, please come back again next fall.
