We have such an exciting week ahead of us! Your Kindergartener will get to "travel" to all sorts of countries (other Kindergarten classrooms) to learn about winter holidays that are celebrated all around the world. They will get the opportunity to learn about Germany, Holland, Sweden, Japan, Mexico, England, Israel, and the United States. Every student was issued their very own Kindergarten passport and will complete many different art projects that they will share with you at the end of the week.
We will also be spending time discussing what it means to share joy, love, compassion, and empathy (talking out our problems, owning our mistakes, standing up for what's right, being there for people around us, playing and having fun with your peers) and what it means to us as individuals, our classroom, our school, our homes, and our community. We will also spend time sharing and recognizing our own strengths and talents along with the strengths and talents of those around us.
We won't be starting a new reading lesson this week (that means no new reading homework), but will be squeezing in a few math lessons. There will be some homework (normal and challenge posted below).
I wish all of you a wonderful Holiday Season!
As always, let me know if you have any questions.
