I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Christmas is right around the corner and in the next 3 weeks we are going to get as much learning done as possible!
This week we begin Literacy Unit 4 which centers around food. We will learn the new sight word to and the letter of the week will be Nn. Please remember to review the sight words and letters that we have learned thus far. You can always look at the last page of your child's report card to see what sight words and letters are still not mastered. In math we will continue to work on 3-D shapes and exploring numbers 0-9. Your child should start practicing writing their numbers up to 10. That would be a great piece of extra homework!
I am sending home today your child's ConnectEd username and password. This website has great resources and games that your child can use at home. The website is on the card I'm sending home, along with the username and password. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know! I am fairly new to ConnectEd but if I can't help you, we will find someone who can.
Looking ahead, we will have our class Christmas party on Friday December 16. If you would like to help out please let my room mothers know. My AM room mothers are Jill Nielsen 862-9829 and Ashley Peterson 862-4317. My PM room mothers are Brandy Milne 619-1106 and Megan Paxman 862-9280.
One last thing --I am going to be visiting my father this Christmas in Brazil. I am taking a few personal days off so I can spend as much time with my family as possible. This means I will have a substitute teacher in class from Monday December 19 to Wednesday December 21. But I will be back for the new year! :)

Newsletter for November 7-11
I decided to post this week's newsletter early! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I actually love that the weather is cooling down!
This week we will be reviewing the sight words see and go. We will also review the letters Tt and Ii. In math last week I introduced 3-D shapes in math. Please review cylinder, cone, cube and sphere with your child! Have your child make connections between the 3-D shapes and objects used in their daily lives. On Thursday and Friday we will be doing an assessment. It is very important that your child does not miss either of those days because they will have to make up the assessment later on which is difficult to do with our limited time in school!
Remember that this Monday, November 7 is an early out day! AM Kindergarten will be from 9:00 to 11:00 and PM Kindergarten will be from 12:00 to 2:00. Also looking ahead, SEPs are the week of November 14-17. Please make sure you sign and return to me your blue SEP Notification! I told the students that if they bring back their paper signed by mom or dad that I will give them candy! (I know, I'm terrible for bribing them with sugar!!)
In connection to SEPs, there will be NO KINDERGARTEN on Monday November 14 and Tuesday November 15. The rest of the week we will be on Early Out Friday schedule: AM Kindergarten will be from 9:00 to 10:40 and PM Kindergarten will be from 11:35 to 1:15.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know! Thank you for your help and support! I LOVE having your children in my class! :) jjacobson@res.washk12.org or 668-5027

Newsletter for October 31 - November 4
I am sorry that I am posting the newsletter so late! It has been a busy week so far! I hope everyone had lots of fun trick-or-treating on Monday night!
This week our new sight word is go and our new letter is Ii. In math we are discussing patterns in music. Looking ahead, this coming Monday November 7th is an early out day. This means AM Kindergarten will be from 9:00 to 11:00 and PM Kindergarten will be from 12:00 to 2:00. Also, SEPs will be held the following week of November 14-18. There will be no Kindergarten sessions on Monday November 14 or Tuesday November 15. The rest of the week we will be on Early Out Friday schedule. I will be sending a note home with your assigned SEP date and time. If there is a particular day and time that works best for you please let me know ASAP.
As the weather begins to cool down, please make sure your child brings a jacket to school. If it's cold outside and your child does not have their jacket, I will have to send them down to the office to look at books during recess. We don't want anyone getting sick!
Thank you for all your help at the Halloween party!! The kids had a great time!! I really appreciate everyone's help in our class!! If you have any questions or concerns please let me know! jjacobson@res.washk12.org or 668-5027
