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
