I'm keeping this blog post short and sweet. Mrs. Matyus and I want to say a big THANK YOU for all the teacher appreciation goodies and additional supplies for the classroom we received this week. 

 If you want a reminder of all the stuff we're working on this quarter please refer to last week's post. 

 Have a great break! 

 In reading this week: 
This chair is too big!  This chair is too small!  This chair is just right!  Our focus this week is all about the three bears.  We will be continuing with fairytales this week as we read The Three Bears by Paul Galdone.  We will be discussing character, setting, and how we use the information in the story to retell.  We will continue talking about opinions in writing. 


Vocabulary from the book:

trust: to depend on honesty
porridge: food made of cereal or grains
cooled: to let something get not to cold or hot
peek: to look quickly; secretly
frightened: to cause fear; scare

Here are just a few activities you can do at home with your child this weekend:
  • Retell the story of The Three Bears.  
  • Make mask props at home using paper plates or pictures on popsicle sticks

Welcome

Welcome to Addison Kindergarten!  We are looking forward to working with your children this year.  To assist us in making this a successful school year, it would be helpful if you would: 1.       Please send in a NUTRITIOUS snack to school each day with your child.  We encourage fruit, yogurt, cheese and crackers, etc.  (Please no candy, cookies or sweets or juice.) They may bring a water bottle to class each day if they choose to. 2.       Let your child know what their snack is each day and where it can be found in their backpack. (Sometimes kindergarteners get confused about what is their lunch versus snack or forget they have one.) Also, please do not send snack in a lunch box. It is confusing for everyone! 3.       Put your child’s first and last names in all articles of clothing and other items that might be left at school:  Sweaters, jackets, hats, lunch boxes and back packs. 4.       Emphasize that toys must stay at home! 5.       Quiet Time - please send in a r

Science Lab Volunteer Letters

-
Hi Kindergarten, I have been trying to think of a way to get thank yous from kids to our wonderful science lab volunteers.  Would you be able to post a message to your students to write cards/letters to the volunteers and bring them when they pick up their belongings at Addison?  They are welcome to thank more than one volunteer because there are so many for kindergarten.  I will have a labeled basket on each homeroom table for them to drop them in and I will pick them up and mail them to our volunteers. Thank you!   Here are the names of volunteers for each K class: Barnwell: Mrs. Maddox Mr. Singletary Mrs. Ely Mrs. Rodich Mrs. Sweeney Mrs. Small Walston: Mrs. Singleton Ms. Shelton Mrs. Sweeney Mrs. Maddox Mr. Singletary Wilkinson: Mr. and Mrs. Busse Mr. Abdulbaki Mr.  Singletary Mrs. Maddox Powers: Ms. Sharpe Ms. Nati Ms. Coram Ms. Plambeck Mr. and Mrs. Silva Mr. Burkhead Mr. Singletary Mrs. Maddox Rodgers: Ms. Ruetz (Desmond's grandma) Ms.
