Another Great Monday!


We had a great time today getting to read about the Gingerbread Boy!  After, we drew pictures of how we imagined the gingerbread boy in our heads as we read the story aloud.  Then after, we read a different version called the Gingerbread Baby!  We learned a lot about our Happy Campers of the day Bridger and Brianna during our interviews!  Then we wrote our name book for them, and they helped us with our Daily News!  One last exciting activity was creating our gingerbread boy headbands!  

Today is our second week of homework! Your child once again brought home their homework folders today! Here is what to look for:
On the LEFT AT HOME side:
1. Sight word practice pages done during our reading groups.

On the RIGHT BACK TO SCHOOL side:
1. Homework page: On the front is our Kindergarten Daily News, as well as upcoming events and a math challenge. Please encourage your child to try the math challenge (all should know what to do)! On the back, students need to write one sentence per day ON THEIR OWN. Remember, these first few weeks of homework can be difficult, so please just encourage your child to do their best and encourage them a lot! 
2. Take Home Book: STUDENTS NEED TO RETURN THEIR TAKE HOME BOOK IN THEIR PLASTIC ENVELOPE EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY! We check in their book and be sure they have their book to bring home. REMEMBER, if the book seems too easy or too difficult, please just put a note in the plastic envelope and return it on Thursday. ALL TAKE HOME BOOKS NEED TO BE RETURNED ON THURSDAY FOR CHECK IN AND EXCHANGE (if needed).  

****Remember if your child is ready for a new book, please put a quick sticky note on the book saying they are ready for a new book! 

A Few Important Notes:
1. A few kiddos did not have their take home book in their plastic take home book envelope. Please return it with their books as we don't have extra envelopes, and this helps our books to last longer.
2. Library books are due on Thursday!
