Greetings,

We had a busy week in Kindergarten this week.  Snow Motion had a wonderful start!  Thank you to all of you who helped make this day go smoothly, this includes packing your student with warm clothing, ski gear, and all of the wonderful volunteers on the hill!

Students enjoyed some fun games this week in Math.  We played a flip sequence game that challenged kiddos to find the correct order sequence.  They also enjoyed a new dice game, where they roll 3 dice and each roll they set aside the dice that has the highest amount, at the end they counted up all of the dice. Their partner then would do the same and they would compare who had the highest amount.  They are doing very well with counting, counting on from a number, and using facts that they know to total amounts.

We continued our practice with vowels.  Students played a Go Fish game with CVC words that had short vowels. For example the word fin you hear the short vowel /i/ sound.  They also played bingo and matching games.

This week VT Fish & Wildlife taught us about the Ruffed Grouse aka partridge.  We were so impressed at their drumming dance that they do on a log to impress their mates.  

Reminders & Requests

****If possible we would love to have students bring in  their own headphones for computer times. This will help with not spreading germs by sharing headphones and also allow for multiple students to use computers at a time!  These can be brought in any time.  Thank you so much! Amazon has several inexpensive brands. If this is a problem I do have 4 classroom pairs that will be available for use. 

****The lunch menu is subject to change.  I would suggest that families look at the website the day of to make sure their child will eat what is being served on that day.  Thank you!

****Snacks for Snow Motion:  Please pack an extra snack for your student on Snow Motion days.  Or if you would like to donate a NUT FREE snack like a box of Smart Pop, pretzels, hot cocoa for the class that would be great!  Thank you so much!!
