Dear Parents,
I can't believe that winter break is already upon us! The last month and a half went by very fast!
We had a lot of fun celebrating Valentine’s Day on Wednesday. We have enjoyed making our special Valentines projects and everyone certainly enjoyed opening all the valentines. Thank you for all the valentines!
We celebrated our 100th day of school today. We did a lot of counting! We made 100th day hats with 100 dots and did some math activities with a hundreds chart. We also wrote a class book about what we would do with $100. The students have accomplished so much in 100 days and should be very proud of how far they have come!
After vacation we will begin our fine arts unit where the children will creatively paint, draw, sculpt, and build works of art for our Kindergarten Museum. Our Museum will be open for parents to visit on Tuesday, April 10th. You won’t want to miss it! More information will be going home later on but I want to make sure you mark it on your calendars! I think you will be amazed at the artwork your children will produce!
The students spent a lot of time during the past couple of weeks learning about persuasive writing. I put all their persuasive writing together and sent it home in their blue folders today. Included are the letters they wrote to Ms. P. about getting a class pet and the letters they wrote to you along with a few other things! I would encourage you to sit down with your children and have them read their writing to you. They worked very hard on it and should be proud of their work!
We will be transitioning to narrative writing after the break. Students will be writing about themselves and things/events that have happened in their lives (birthdays, field trips, new experiences, etc.). I am anxious to see how their writing will evolve over the next couple of months!
I would also encourage you to continue working on the sight words and addition fluency facts with your children. We will be checking on their progress in the coming weeks after vacation.
Have a wonderful winter break!
Melanie Duncan
P.S...Please be sure to check the students’ backpacks and folders. Vacation is a great time to clean them all out!
