Beach Buddies' Bulletin
December 10-14, 2018
Hello, K Families! The kindergartners did awesome with Mrs. Howard on Monday and Tuesday. I learned many new ideas at my tech conference that I am ready to try. Holiday excitement is definitely in the air. Friday was fantastic, Grinch-filled day!
Grinch Day
Our Week in K
Writers' Workshop
This week we worked on re-reading our stories to help check for accuracy and understanding. We also added more details to make our stories better.
Readers' Workshop
Math Workshop
In math this week we explored shapes as we worked on sorting and graphing, told addition stories, played "what's my rule" fishing game (beginning algebra!), and examined coin values.
In other literacy learning this week we:
We continue to work hard in word workshop to spell 3 letter words by stretching the sounds slowly like a turtle. Can your child spell these words? What if you say the word slowly? Can they put the sounds together and say the word?
*tap, has, tin, pat, pin, sip, nap, fit, not*

Blog Update
In the past few weeks we have loved exploring different versions of The Three Little Pigs. With a partner, we used Legos to share our thinking about the 3 pigs books. Some of us retold the story, others shared a new ending, and others shared a favorite part. It was awesome to see the team work, creativity, and "outside of the box" thinking that was happening. Visit our blog for a video about our creations.

Merry Christmas!
On Tuesday we will be baking cookies, Thursday we will be having All K stations and walking to the high school for the 5th graders' play, and Friday we will carol around the school, explore holiday STEM stations, enjoy our PJ's, and eat our cookies. We are looking forward to the fun week! I will wait to send another digital newsletter until over Christmas break.
Here's to a wonderful holiday and break. I hope your family enjoys happy and restful days together. I will be anxious to hear about your family adventures when we return in January. Thank you for sharing your children with me. They really are the best! Merry Christmas!
Wishing you peace and everything good,
