The week ahead....

Hello Families!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!  I had a low-grade fever yesterday, but I should be back and ready for conferences tomorrow! This coming week will be short and crazy.  Here's what we're getting into this week in Kindergarten: 

This week we will: 
- Read poems to practice reading fluently and identify sight words. 
- Write about what we are thankful for. 
- Review all of the sight words we have learned thus far.  
- Gather information (details) about Thanksgiving by reading informational books. 
- Make a graph in math about our favorite Thanksgiving foods. 

This is a short week so that's about it!  Here are some reminders and info about upcoming events... 

***Brrrr, it's cold ***
Please make sure that you are sending a heavy winter coat with your child every day now that it is consistently cold outside.  Some friends are getting very chilly with the cold wind blowing on them.  We don't want anyone to get sick. 

***Daily Folders***
Please be sure you are checking students' daily folders every day.  Papers that they make at school can be kept at home- no need to send them back!  

***Cold and Flu season***
It's that time of year where friends are getting sick.  If your child has a fever, they should not come to school.  If they are sent home with a fever or having vomited, they must be fever and vomit free for 24 hours before they can come back to school.  Thank you for your cooperation with this.  

Coming up...
Monday 11/24- School starts at 12:30 and dismisses at the regular time of 3:25 (lunch will not be served).
Tuesday 11/25- School starts on time and dismisses at 11:55 (lunch will be served). 
Wednesday 11/26- Friday 11/28- NO SCHOOL (Thanksgiving Break) 

Short and sweet!  I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving Break!  :) 

Please enjoy these pictures!  I meant to take a picture of each team's birdhouse.  I will do that tomorrow and add to this post.  I was thoroughly impressed with the kids creativity, collaboration, and acceptance of all ideas.  I can't wait to share the final product.
