A Note From Ms. M
We are almost done with our 2nd quarter of Kinder! We enjoyed learning about pumpkins and tasting lots of fun pumpkin treats during our pumpkin unit. We have a busy month coming up with lots of fun Holiday projects.
Good to Know
We will be performing 2 songs during our school’s Winter Program on Tuesday, December 20th at 5:00pm. Students will need to wear a red or green shirt with jeans. More info on the program will be coming soon.

Math
We are working on comparing numbers, more/less, greater than/less than. We are continuing to review 2-D and 3-D shapes, measurement and weight and numbers from 1-20.
Students are enjoying work on ST Math during computer time in math.
Writing
We are working on our sentence writing and being more confident writers. When we come to a word we don’t know how to spell we start with the beginning sound and then stretch the word and write any other sounds that we hear. Sentences need to have a capital, finger spaces between words and punctuation at the end.
