A few notes
Dear Parents,
- Your child will bring home the Christmas play information sheet today. This will let you know the play schedule for next week. You are going to love watching and listening as we present our gift to the King. My heart is touched each day as we practice.
- Your child has brought home the phonics reader, Will It Fit? Please let your child read it to you for practice. We worked on the -it word family, punctuation, and reading with expression (!,?) Wow! They did great!
-Ask your child about writing with the "expert grip". They can show you exactly how to do it using the Spanish words, uno (1), dos (2), tres (3)!
Whoa! There is a lot of learning and fun going in the Kindergarten. Your children make each day joyful for me.
D.O.G.
Wendy
