Happy New Year!

The children have had a wonderful week back to school!

They were all so happy to be in their pajamas today and I was so proud of them for getting this reward for their great behavior during the first half of the school year.

We did not go to library this week so please send any library books that you may have at home back on Monday.

We measured with our gingerbread men rulers yesterday. The children had so much fun comparing things that were different lengths. Encourage them to use these rulers at home and make predictions before they measure.

Things to work on this month:
**Sight Words
**Counting by 10's to 100
**Counting to 100 by ones
**Identification and formation of shapes including rhombus and hexagon
**Play war with cards - flip 2 cards over and decide which card is greater

Questions to ask your Kindergartener:
What special did you go to today? What did you do?
How many links are on your classroom chain that represents the days of school?
Who sits at your table?
Did you get a special job this week?
Who is your station partner?


As always thanks for all of your help and support. The children are making great strides from all of the hard work at school and at home!
