Newsletter 1-28-11

What's New!?!

We had another short week this week. A lot of the things I had planned for this past week will carry over to next week.

Math:
• Writing Number Sentences for Subtraction
• Reviewing 2D/3D shapes
• Counting to 100

Kidwriting:
• Writing in booklets
• Telling the beginning, middle, and end in their writing
• Using details in their writing

Literacy:
• Comparing and contrasting characters in a story

Science:
• Objects that sink or float


Bits of Information

I sent home a packet of Math ideas you can work on at home. You are in no way obligated to work on these things at home, but I thought it might be helpful.
I’m looking in to how many make up days we will have because of all the snow. It looks like even more is coming. I will let you all know as soon as I find out.

I recently sent home a letter about the 100th day of school. Please, start working on gathering your 100 items from home. Remember they must fit in a gallon size ziplock bag. I will send something home as soon as I know when our 100th day of school actually will be!


Box top Challenge: We are going to have a school wide box top challenge for the month of February. The kindergarten and preschool (AM/PM) classrooms that collect the most box tops will win a popcorn party or cookie party. The monies collected will go towards the purchasing of new equipment for our school. Please check your child's backpack for a collection sheet. Thanks so much for all your support!

Specials: With all these snow days it's easy to get our Specials schedule mixed up. We never skip a specials, so we will just pick up on whatever day we missed. So, if we were supposed to have Gym on Wednesday and we miss school on Wednesday, then we will have Gym when we get back to school. Sorry if this gets confusing! If you ever have a question, just respond on my blog or send me an email at kristen.mcdowell@jessamine.kyschools.us.
