Newsletter for December 16 - 20

We are starting a new literacy unit this week!  We will be learning about the sight word is and the letter Oo.  In math we will also begin a new unit on subtraction.  If your child still does not recognize numbers 0-20 out of order, and if they still cannot write numbers 0-20 --please work with them!  They will fall further and further behind in our new math program if they do not have these skills.

If your child has completed all the homework task cards (there are 15) and you would like for them to receive extra homework, please let me know.  I will send a weekly packet of extra homework that they can work on at home.  It does not need to be returned.

We did not have outside recess all last week due to the extreme cold weather but we are hoping this week will warm up a bit!  Still, it will be cold outside and NO student will be allowed to recess unless they have a coat on!  Not a sweatshirt or jacket but a coat.  If your child comes to school in a sweatshirt or jacket, I will be checking that they have on 2 layers of long sleeves, or they will have to sit in the office.

We are still low on snacks!  If each parent donated just 1 box of some kind of snack, we would be set for a month!  Any donations are greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

Just as a reminder, our Christmas parties (AM and PM) will be on Friday December 20.  That will also be the last day of school before the break.  School will resume on January 2, 2014.  I hope everyone has a very merry, very safe Christmas!  Thank you for your help and support!  Happy Holidays!

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know!  jenny.jacobson@washk12.org or 668-5027
