Dear Kindergarten Families,

Here we go on to a New Year! As we start back to school, we welcome Jesus in our hearts. A new word to learn, Epiphany. Also the message of the Wise Men and the meaning of their gifts to Jesus.

Academics for the short week: our workshops will refresh our reading and writing strategies, rhymes, sight words, letter/sounds, sentence structure and punctuation.

Math skills to reviews patterns, use a calculator for reading and entering numbers, and graphing sums of dice.

Science: characteristics of insects and a look at our Peace Garden – it is time to harvest carrots and sugar snap peas!

Social studies: We will start talking about Martin Luther King Jr.

Grayson and Julian will celebrate their birthdays in January!

This Friday is a full day of school!

Homework will come home on Friday to be returned by Thursday of next week. I’ll be sending home a children’s National Geographic magazine with corresponding worksheets.

Blessings,

Mrs. Brown
