Newsletter 2013
I hope you all had a wonderful
Christmas and an enjoyable break with your family and friends.
Also, I would like to thank you so much for
the lovely Christmas gifts. Your thoughtfulness and generosity was very much
appreciated!!
This month our classroom themes
will be The North and Winter Fun.
The students will be involved in
a number of crafts and activities relating to The North and Winter. We will be
growing a crystal garden, making an edible igloo, and constructing a real-sized
milk jug igloo in our classroom. For this real-sized igloo project, the
students are invited to bring 4 L plastic milk jug containers anytime over the
next two and a half months. Please rinse out carefully and send with the lids
on. Also, students will need to bring an apple on Wednesday, January 30th for
the edible igloo craft.
The Kindergartens will be
focusing on the letters of Hh, Jj, Kk and Ff. Blending and reading the new
words of hat, drum, mask, rat, star, jar, and jam. We will be practising rote
counting to 50, recognizing numbers 1-10 and reviewing printing numbers 1-5. We
have just briefly touched on “Exploring Patterns” and will continue with this
unit. There is an attached “Patterning” activity sheet if you would like to
reinforce this at home. Good healthy habits of daily exercise and getting
enough sleep will also be discussed. Other skills to be practised and learned
are phone numbers, birthdates and the printing of their last name.
