Kinder Kapers
November 27- December 1
Welcome Back!
We hope you had a lovely and restful Thanksgiving break. Like you, we are always grateful for extra time with our families. The next four weeks promise to be fun and busy! Thank you for reading this newsletter weekly to keep up with all our activities, learning topics and homework!
Empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls needed!
If you have any empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls at your house, please send them to school with your child TOMORROW. We will be making windsocks with them on Tuesday. Thank you!
Learning Topics for the Week
Math: Financial literacy
Science: Fall weather
Writing: Making our writing easier to read
Reading: Holidays across the world
Math Homework
Discuss the concept of capacity with your child. Choose one, non-standard unit (rice, beans, toys, marbles, marshmallows, etc) and fill different sizes of containers. Discuss which ones hold more, or less, and why.
Make-Up School Photos will be on Tuesday, November 28th
Candy Houses with A Loved One
December 8th is our annual Candy Houses with a Loved One. You, or someone who loves your child, is invited to come and decorate candy houses in the cafeteria. The fun starts at 8am and lasts about an hour. Please make arrangements for yourself or another adult to participate that morning. All materials will be provided. Loved ones may begin checking in at 7:45 in the front office or pick up for a Fast Pass at that time. Fast Passes can be reserved using the following link through Tuesday, Dec. 5th to avoid the line and check-in quickly! A photo ID will be required for all visitors with or without a Fast Pass.
Label Your Items
Please take the time to label ALL of your child's personal items. This will hopefully ensure that all of your things return home to you each day. Please write first and last names, or first initial and last name, on backpacks, lunch boxes, jackets, sweaters, and hats (when weather gets cooler).
