Happy December! The students are enjoying a new month here in
K-3. Our focus is on holidays around the world and winter solstice. We are
preparing for our Annual Holiday Concert which will be December 23rd
at 9:15 a.m. in the multi-purpose room. K- 3 will be on the right hand side of
the stage (if you are facing the stage). Your child should wear their best
holiday red. If your child is not going to be here for the holiday concert
could you please let me know? Thank you in advance.
Our letter of the week was “Vv”. Our tongue twister was,”
Vincent visits Vicki to view a video.”We are working hard in Writer’s Workshop;
we are adding spaces into our sentences and punctuation at the end of our
sentences. I am encouraging the students to identify the wall words on the wall
that they know and add them into their writing. As part of our Being A Writer
program, the students have been responding to text in their writing and then
sharing it with their classmates. They become very proud and invested in their
work when they know they are going to share it. I hope you enjoyed looking at
your child’s November writing folder and I am sure you are seeing the same
progress as I am. Great work!
In math, we continue writing our numerals 0-20 and beyond. We
are also practicing writing addition equations. The students are becoming very
familiar with the math symbols used for addition.
We will be visiting the Young Shoppers Club on December 11th
and 12th. This is an opportunity for your child to buy gifts for the
families (including pets). The prices range from $1.00-$5.00. The event is
sponsored by the PTO. You should have received a flyer in your mail slot
yesterday.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Enjoy this special time
of year with your child. By the way, weather permitting, Santa comes by boat at
1:00 tomorrow at East Ferry, an event not too be missed. It is followed by the
Christmas Tree Lighting at 5:00. Hope you can enjoy this special Jamestown
event with your families.
Fondly,
Mrs. MacIntyre
