Newsletter for Jan 24-28

I hope everyone had a good weekend!  I spent most of last week and this weekend sick in bed but I am happy to say I am feeling much better!  I sure hope the cuties survived a week-worth of subs!

This week we have 2 sight words and 2 letters we will be studying.  The sight words are for and you.  And the letters are Dd and Rr.  We will also be reviewing the letter Hh from last week.  In math we are talking about 2D shapes.  Students should be able to recognize a circle, rectangle, square and triangle.  Please review those shapes with your child. 

Looking ahead, Monday February 7th will be an early out day.  AM Kindergarten will be from 9 to 11 and PM Kindergarten will be from 12 to 2.  Also our class Valentine's Day party will be on Monday February 14th.  Because Valentine's Day falls on a Monday we will have a shorter, low-key party.  It will last no longer than 30 minutes.  I'm not sure about the times yet but I will keep you posted.

Since I was sick last week, I never sent out book order catalogs so I will do that this week!  Thanks for your patience!

I am attaching to this post and SOS for snacks!  We are running very low both in the morning and in the afternoon!  I really appreciate all your help and support!

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know!  Thank you! jjacobson@res.washk12.org

Newsletter for Jan 18-21

Welcome to another week of Kindergarten!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  This week we are starting our social studies unit on Neighborhoods.  We will also learn the sight word are and the letter Hh.  Please keep track of the sight words your child knows.  If you need a new list of the kindergarten words please let me know.

Looking ahead, Monday February 7th will be an early out day.  AM Kindergarten will be from 9 to 11 and PM Kindergarten will be from 12 to 2.  Also our class Valentine's Day party will be on Monday February 14th.  Because Valentine's Day falls on a Monday we will have a shorter, low-key party.  It will last no longer than 30 minutes.  I'm not sure about the times yet but I will keep you posted.

I will be sending home this week book orders.  There is no pressure to buy!  I just want to make these wonderful resources available to you.  I know at the beginning of the year I said I would not do online book orders but I have been told that it has been reformatted and it is very easy to use so we are going to try it!  If you would like to order books BUT don't have access to a computer or internet, please let me know and I will get you a hard copy of the catalogs.  Be watching for instructions on how to use the online catalog this week.

Thank you for your support!  I feel so lucky to have such amazing students!  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know!  jjacobson@res.washk12.org or 652-4760

Weekly Newsletter Jan. 10-14

I am so sorry I never posted a newsletter last week!  Time just slipped past me!  This week we are reviewing the sight words is and play along with the letters Oo and Ff.  We will also be studying weather for our social studies unit. 

I sent out the Kite Festival reading log to everyone and I hope you will all participate!  It is a fun and worthwhile activity and I know that all the kids love participating every year!  Also, if we get the most students from our class there, we could win some extra prizes!  Go reading!!!

Please remember that January 17th is a holiday.  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know!  Thank you! jjacobson@res.washk12.org
