WOW! It’s hard
to believe that our February vacation is already here! We have had many busy
weeks in kindergarten. The children have certainly earned their break! J
SAVE THE DATE!!! One of our kindergarten traditions is
to host a Mother’s Day breakfast. This year’s Mother’s Day breakfast will be
Friday, May 12th. It will begin at 8:00 a.m. and will last about 1 ½
hours. Dads and other family members will be asked to help with preparations
for this exciting and special event. Look for more information in upcoming
newsletters! J Please
save the date moms!!
During the
winter break, please be sure your child practices his/her reading, writing and
math skills. One idea is to ask your child to locate and write known words
around the house during vacation. Children love being “reading and writing
detectives” and going on letter or word hunts in books and newspapers. Your
child may choose to practice writing stories about their daily adventures
during vacation. They are learning to tell a story with a beginning, middle and
end using pictures and sentences. Please be sure to read, read, and read some
more each day and talk about the characters and events of the stories together.
Your child is
bringing home his/her book bag for vacation. There are at least 3 books and a
“popcorn word” ring inside. Please listen to your child read these books
throughout the week. They are very excited to share these books with you. Please
return all of these materials to school on Wednesday, March 8th. We
will continue to send books home during the rest of the school year.
For math, your
child can practice writing numbers to 20. He/she can also spend time counting
and should start and stop counting at random numbers between 0 and 100. Counting
sets of objects in groups of tens and ones is also a great activity.
Most important,
please have your child play every
day!!! Board games, dramatic play and
Legos are all loved by each of the students in our class. They all enjoy doing crafts
and are quite creative. I know each child would be delighted to play with you!
Have fun together!! J

fabulous break! I can’t wait to see the children again on Wednesday, March 8th!
J
Happy vacation!
