Dear Families,
This week we learned how crayons are made. The students practiced reading color words on a crayon worksheet. The kindergartners graphed their favorite candy from 5 different choices. Their choices were Airhead Extremes, Skittles, M &M’s, Jolly Ranchers, and suckers. (Airhead Extremes won by a landslide!) The students filled in the missing dates on a January calendar. The big book The Enormous Carrot was read and discussed. The kindergartners reviewed clocks and telling time to the hour and watched a Backyard Safari video about caterpillars and butterflies.
Next week we will be learning about the letter Ee. Since there are not many things that start with Ee, sharing will be free choice.
The second quarter ends on Monday, January 9th. Report cards will go home on Friday, January 16th. Conferences are not scheduled until the end of February. If you have any questions or concerns about the information on the report card, please call us at school or email us. We would be glad to meet with any parents that want to discuss their kindergartner’s progress in school.
On Monday, January 9th, we will be attending a CHARACTER COUNTS! assembly in the big gym at 9:30. Families are welcome to attend and discover how our students demonstrate the six pillars of character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, citizenship, fairness, and caring).
Mrs. Daugherty will be gone all next week. If you have questions or concerns, please let Mrs. Turner know.
This week the kindergartners figured out that Mrs. Turner is expecting a baby. The baby is due in early June. Mrs. Turner expects to finish the school year unless we have a ton of snow days or Baby Turner decides to arrive early.
Please send hats or earbands and mittens or gloves to school everyday. When it is cold outside we make them wear them. If they do not have hats/earbands (or hoods) and mittens/gloves the boys and girls have to borrow from us, and they do not like our selection.
The students are dismissed early on Wednesday, January 18th. Town students are dismissed at 12:50, and bus students are dismissed at 12:55. There is no school for the students on Friday, February 10th so that teachers can attend professional meetings. Conferences are scheduled for Monday, February 27th from 4:00 – 8:00 and Thursday, March 1st from 4:30 – 8:00. Students will be dismissed one hour early on Monday, February 27th. There will be no school on Friday, March 2nd. Please mark your calendars!
We cannot believe how quickly this school year is going. Can you?
Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Daugherty
