I hope everyone is surviving the Winter Holiday frenzy of activities. We have been super busy in Kindergarten with all things Gingerbread!
Reading: We have read 6 different Gingerbread stories and practiced our retelling with each of them. We have also compared and contrasted the different versions.
Writing: While we have stuck to our routine in writing, we have been focusing on our formal handwriting curriculum and also using only lower case letters in the middle of a sentence. Finally, we are working on segmenting words as we write so we can write all the sounds we hear.
Math: We have worked on graphing, sorting, patterns, counting and number bonds! Number bonds are a big part of our second trimester. More on those after the holidays!
Theme: Gingerbread! We have decorated gingerbread babies, gingerbread houses and made gingerbread glyphs with our book buddies. Next week we will learn about Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and Diwali. (Diwali was actually celebrated in November this year, but all these holidays have a celebration of lights, so we will focus on that common theme.)
REPORT CARDS: Report cards go home TODAY! As I write this, the report cards that are printed and stuffed into envelopes do not have Spanish grades on them-only comments. There was a glitch in our recording system. Now there seems to be a glitch in the server that is not allowing us to print report cards. If this is resolved in time for me to print new report cards and stuff them I will do that! If not-I will be sending home Spanish grades separately next week.
THE REPORT CARD IS YOURS TO KEEP, BUT I NEED THE SIGNED ENVELOPE BACK!
Winter Concert: Thanks so much to our crew of room parents for organizing our party again! If you have not yet seen the sign up genius, please click the link below and see if there's anyway you can help!

Finally, I am opening up the Scholastic Book orders. I will place an order when we get back in January. Please click on the link to see all the catalogs available. A sample catalog was sent today, but there are thousands of books to choose from. It might be nice to have a few new books when headed into the depths of winter!
