Our Weekly Newsletter 12/10

Hello
This week we are focusing on the letter 'H'.  Please reinforce the sound the letter 'H' makes and point it out everywhere you can.  This really helps solidify the information being taught at school.

Also, make sure to send your child's sight words back to school when they have memorized them so they can read them to me and get a prize!

I am sending home the words to the songs we will be singing in our play.  Please practice the songs with your child as well as their play lines.

Homework
Here is the list of tasks to be completed this week.  Please space out the activities throughout the week.  The homework is meant to be done in small chunks throughout the week.  Remember to return the homework folder on Friday.

1. Choose 3-4 activities from the December calendar
2. Make a collage/draw pictures of things that begin with 'H' in the yellow book
3. Complete the 'H' page in the handwriting book
4. Read 10 minutes a night and fill out the reading log
5. Practice your child's play lines and songs!!!

Christmas Play
Our Christmas production is on Friday, December 21st from 1:30-2.  We will then be coming back to class to ring in the Christmas holiday with a gingerbread house making celebration.  All parents are invited to stay and participate in the festivities!  I have posted a sign-up sheet on Shutterfly for the items needed.  We still need a few items including Royal icing.  Royal icing is a certain type icing used for gingerbread houses.  It acts like the glue.  You can find a recipe online. Also, to make your candy shopping easier, there is an aisle in Target dedicated to gingerbread houses!
*When praciticng your child's play lines, please make sure to practice the line that comes before theirs so they know when they are supposed to speak.

Jog-a-thon
This Friday, December 14th, our class will be running in the jog-a-thon from 8:45-8:55am.  Come on out to the gym to see the kids dash around to raise money for our school! Please make sure to send your child to school wearing an old shirt that you don't mind getting marker on.

Stockings
Each child will be making a small paper stocking in class this week.  We will be hanging them up and filling them next week.  If you would like to participate, please bring 21 of the same small stocking stuffers (erasers, pencils, bookmarks, candy canes, Hershey Kisses, etc...) so your child can stuff his/her classmates stockings.  Please do not put names on each item, as it will make it harder for your child to find the correct stocking.
