What an exciting time
of year! We are continuing a Harmony
student tradition of a holiday sing a long on Thursday, December 15th. Children
need to bring wear a Santa hat and black or red clothing on Thursday.
Please be on the
lookout for your child’s letter to Santa in the Oldham Era on December 22nd.
Our class Christmas
Party is scheduled for December 16th at 8:30 am. Parents are welcome to volunteer to help
out. Please contact our lovely room mom,
Elizabeth Turner at elizabetheganturner@yahoo.com or 502-381-1799 for more information about
volunteering. Students will need to bring a picture of themselves, a special sweet
treat for the party and a regular snack for our normal morning snack time.
What are we learning?
Reading Workshop
We are using Jan
Brett’s books to compare and contrast and make text-to-text connections as well
as learn about her writing style and characteristics.
Writing Workshop
This week we are writing
friendly letters and holiday greeting cards.
Be on the lookout for a card from your kinderpup!
Word Study
This
week, we will explore the word families –ut, -un, --ug, -um. Ask your child about the word family chants for
all four. We will also learn how to read
and write these words that will be added to our Word Wall: were, like, not.
Have your child sing you the songs for these words.
Math
In
math we are learning how to look at a group of objects and decide how to sort
them. We will also count, label and
compare these group and learn how to explain “your rule” used for sorting (ex.
By color, things that roll, heavy vs. light, etc.)
Social Studies
We
are having a ball “traveling” around the world and learning about different
holidays. We will continue our study of
Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, German Christmas trees, China and more.
