Holiday Music Program: I was so happy to see that each of our Kindergartners were able to attend and participate in our Holiday Music Program on Tuesday evening. The children did a fantastic job and should be so proud of themselves. Thank you to Mrs. VanRijs, our Kindergarten Music Teacher, who helped the children learn and prepare their songs and moves for the program. It was a memorable night!

Reading Workshop: We read and discussed what patterned books look and sound like. We tried to create our own using a pattern in the beginning of our text about our classroom. The children are very excited to try this new type of writing!

Math: We began Unit #3 this week. We discussed the term “partners,” and created math equations with both objects and people – a fun time for all. The children are getting the hang of it. They are becoming more attentive as to whether the equation will be an addition or subtraction problem, and whether to add more or take away. Information arrived home in your child’s home folder this week as to how you can help your child practice at home. Thank you!

Handwriting: We have officially begun the lessons for our lowercase letters and learned the proper formation for the letters c, o, and s. Each of these are created with the help of Magic C, our bunny helper who hides in a black top hat. We love Magic C! Image may be NSFW.

Mystery Reader: Matthew was happily surprised to see his mom as our Mystery Reader this week! She shared with us two stores! The first was “The Pine Tree Parable,” by Liz Curtis Higgs, which was a sweet story about the gift of giving. The second was a selection by Matthew, titled “You are Special,” by Max Lucado. Thank you, Mrs. Zwier, for stopping by to visit and read to us!
