KB Highlights:

What a way to start the week. We learned who our new President will be. We shared about all the different presidents there have been over the years. We learned that President Biden is the first president to call Delaware home. Nora from our class was at the acceptance speech in Wilmington Saturday evening. Wow what a way to be a part of history! She was able to share about her time there. Nora’s special memories were sitting on top of her car and holding a flag also watching the fireworks.

Ms. Mack is preparing the children for the Christmas concert. This will take several days for her to film the entire school.  When she is  filming the Kindergarten portions the children may dress up for the occasion. Ms. Mack has asked each Kindergartner to wear an “elf “ hat. I have seen them at the Dollar store or perhaps you already have one. Please have one by Monday November 30th.  

Thank you for all the food donations for St. Paul’s food basket drive the last day to send in food is Tuesday November 17th. We will include a Thanksgiving classroom card to the family.

Show and Tell on Wednesday this week is letter Cc

Friday November 20th Kindergarten will have a celebration of the first Thanksgiving Feast in their own classroom. Kindergarten may dress out of uniform. We will have our celebration at snack time. 

In the Friday folder was 2 laminated sheets of paper marked  page 1 and page 2.  There was also a small colorful laminated window and special dog paper clip. These pages are from the Reading series workbook. Keep them at home to review the sight words In school we refer to them as “word to know”. We have only completed page 1 so far. Eventually there will be about 11 pages with our 88 sight words. I found in the past this is one of the most productive ways to review the sight words at home. This week we are going to decorate a special folder to keep all the pages together. See how easily your child can recognize the words from page 1. We have been learning in the classroom. If you find that your child is struggling to recognize the words  they may need a little more repetition.

Last Friday Kindergarten completed a special Christmas ornament for Longwood Gardens. Each student made a pattern color candy cane in the Theme Fire and Ice. There were blue, white silver or red, yellow, orange, The ornaments should be displayed this Christmas at Longwood Gardens in the main conservatory.
