December 2010 News

Dear Parents,

Welcome to December! Can you believe it? We have been learning up a storm inside our Kindergarten Classroom. We finished our introduction of letters. We learned and started our center rotation, and have switched around Power Hour groups because your Kindergarten students are really learning!
We have several students who are starting to bring home READ ALOUD books that they read to you instead of you reading to them. This is fantastic! I hope you make a big deal of this at home, because it is such an exciting new discovery for them.
Parents, please practice sight words EVERY NIGHT with your students. I have pulled many students lately who do not seem sure of the words on the most recent word list they brought home. I would appreciate that along with reading every night, if you would please review these words. It is crucial to their development in reading!
Also, since it is the beginning of December, please send back your blue read aloud charts for November as a new one for December is included in tonight’s homework.
We can still use a few Parent Volunteers in our class. If you have any free time in the mornings around 9:30, would you please call and let me know. We would love to have you help in our room!
