End of 2013 Reminders

A few reminders before our last day of school before break.

Holiday Sing Along - TOMORROW, Friday, December 20th  8:00 - 8:30
Katherine, our wonderful music teacher is set for our special Holiday Sing Along in her classroom tomorrowmorning from 8:00 - 8:30.  Please arrive to school a bit early tomorrow so that your child can participate in the fun!


Authors' Cocoa - Tomorrow, Friday, December 20th  1:30 - 3:00
We are set to share our poetry with our Willowwind community.  We hope to see you there.  Your Kinder is thrilled to stand "tall, loud, and proud" in front of others to read their poetry aloud.


Winter Break Homework Packet - Return, Monday, January 6th
Today, your child took home a Winter Break Homework Packet.  This packet is for your child to complete over the two week winter break.  It is so important to keep you child in a routine over break.  Continuing to read, write, do math, and work with others is important when a school routine is disrupted.  In this homework packet you will find:
•  math fact family practice
•  letter sound practice
•  color by number
•  color by sight word
•  graphing practice
•  following direction activities

Other things to complete over break:
•  write letters / thank you cards
•  journal about Winter Break
•  practice basic math facts - (We'll get into this more and more when we return from break.)
•  read daily
•  Have Fun!

Have your child bring their Winter Break Homework Packet back to school on Monday, January 6th.



Rest Time Blankets
Rest Time Blankets went home today.  Excitingly, when we return from Winter Break our Quiet Rest Time will turn into a Quiet Reading Time where we will continue to relax and rest our bodies but also work on reading fluency, comprehension, and stamina.  Because of this, Rest Time Blankets do not need to return to school following Winter Break.


Enjoy your break!  Have fun and enjoy the extra time with your family and friends.  See you next year (Monday, January 6th, 2014)!
