February 10th-14th

This week we are learning all about the duties of the Unites States President! We will learn about their job, responsibilities, and even where they live. During our close read, we will learn about the important features we see in a text. Some of the things we will learn about are headers, labels, captions, photographs, table of contents and more! We will also learn about American symbols like the White House, Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial.


Vocabulary from the book:
  • law: a set of rules people must follow
  • speech: a talk given to an audience
  • countries: large areas of land where people live
  • military: the armed forces
  • West Wing: a building connected to the White House where the president lives and works
  • Oval Office: the room where the president does his work
  • White House: the home and workplace of the U.S. president
  • carpenters: people who build and fix things made out of wood

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.
