The Holiday Concert will be held at the Forum at 6:30 on Thursday, December 15th. Kindergarten does not perform in the Holiday concert; however you are welcome to attend.
We have begun Unit 3 in Math and the children will build an understanding of numbers and how they can be decomposed and combined. Understanding how the partners of a number are related is a key Kindergarten concept and focus for this unit.  The new math unit summary is posted on the website in the blue bar.
More upcoming…
Kindergarten has been invited by Mrs. Nazar and the Probability and Statistics students to participate in an M&M Lab. They will answer
the scientific questions: “Which color is most frequently found in a bag of M&Ms?” and “Which color is found the least in a bag of M&Ms?”.
To Remember
Each year during the winter party on Dec. 19th from 1:15-2:15 pm, we do a “gift book exchange”. We are asking that you please purchase a book for $5.00 or under and wrap it for our book exchange. Make sure to purchase one appropriate for a boy or girl. Books should not be labeled “to” anyone, only with a “from” tag.
Weather Watching
Now that cold weather has arrived, please send gloves or mittens and a hat, all labeled with names, with your child each day for outside play.
