Celebration Thank you for donating the brown paper bags and coffee cans. Next week we will be turning the brown paper bags into Native American vests and the coffee cans into our drums! We will also be making pilgrim outfits and getting ready for our school parade and Kindergarten Thanksgiving next Wednesday. Each year, Kindergarten parades through the school for our Thanksgiving day parade and then we meet in the cafeteria in the afternoon for our Pilgrim and Native American First Thanksgiving feast! We will also be having a buddy Thanksgiving celebration on Wednesday with our fourth grade buddies. It is going to be a great week of celebration and we know we have a lot to be thankful for! Stay tuned for pictures on my website next week. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I will not be sending home a newsletter next Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Our new letter and sight word will be for the following week. Please continue to practiceall letters and sight words at home, as we will prepare to begin assessments the second week of December. Your child will need to know all the sight words, letters, sounds, colors, shapes, and count orally to 50. They will also have to write their letters and name. Thank you for your continued support!

We had a great time at the festival of trees! We rode on the “polar express” (school bus)! We had a real conductor punch our golden polar express tickets and we sang carols and drank hot cocao (yahoo! Complements of Mrs. Girton) on the train ride to the north pole! When we arrived, Mayor Eisenhauer read us the story Polar Express and Santa showed up to give each student the first gift of Christmas…a silver bell! We also ate gingerbread and walked around the festival to see all the pretty trees! It was a jolly day in Kindergarten! I posted pictures on my teacher page for you to see.
