WELCOME TO ST. JOE KINDERGARTEN!

November 9-13th

Welcome to Review and Testing Week!

This week Kindergarten will review all of the letters that have been 
introduced. (Bb, Ff, Dd, Gg, Aa, Hh, Jj, Ll, Mm, Ii, Rr, Ss)  We will test for 
report cards during our daily center time. 

PLEASE continue to work on shoe tying, buttoning and zipping. 

Math: We will continue to work on symmetry.  Students will be introduced to 
number sentences with simple addition.

Science: Compare and Contrast: paper and cloth.


We continue to learn about God as a Creator, the Holy Family, and 
stories of Jesus' life.   Please make sure to talk to your child about their 
special "word of Faith" and 
prepare them to share. Everyday we will choose a rock and discuss how it can 
help us build our 
classroom on a a rock like Jesus build his Church on a rock.

All believers are joined into this church by faith in Jesus Christ his savior, 
the same rock on which 
Jesus said he would build his church.- Matthew 16:18 


God Bless, 
Mrs. Bassett and Mrs. Lamie 


  

PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILD'S FOLDER EVERYDAY!  
Many students are bringing back
folders filled with papers and important notes.

HOME LINKS: These will be sent home on Monday.  After you complete it please
send it back with 
your child and SIGN the worksheet identifying that you completed it with your
child.  
  
Each classroom keeps a running record of completed home links.  Thanks for
your cooperation and 
HAVE FUN WITH EVERYDAY MATH!
