December is Here!

News from Mrs. Straw’s Kindergarten
Week of November 29- December 3

Upcoming Events:
J December 2-Nestor’s Birthday
JDecember 3- Book Orders Due

Notes:
J On Monday I sent home a white square.  Please have your child draw a family tradition and return it to school.  I already have some back and they are turning out very nice.

Things to Work on:
JWe are really working on our phone numbers.  We have set a goal of getting a piece of bubble gum when everyone knows their phone number.  Please work with your child on this at home.
J This week we practiced writing our alphabet.  At the end of kindergarten students need to be able to write both the capital and lowercase letters for each letter.

What we have been up to:
Reading: We read the story Gregory the Terrible Eater  and talked about new vocabulary words: nutritious, fussy, and terrible.  This week the letters U and V were introduced.  Students were able to practice sorting pictures that started with U and V, and the review letters G and H. 

Math:  This week in math we practiced several problem- solving problems.  Students were able to share their thinking strategies on the smart board.

Science: We started talking about dental health.  We focused on the importance of flossing and brushing our teeth each and every day.  We also talked about healthy snacks that we can have to keep our teeth healthy and strong.
