Dear Parents,

Here are some of the things the children have been working on this  week.

Language Art:  We have been learning the letter F f and the letter I i (recognition, sound and printing). They have been making words with “I” as the middle of sound. We are going to learn a new  high frequency word, you.

 For the next week  you can cut with your child some photos from the magazines that begins with the new letters, you know  G, F, I, L because we are going to  continue making our beautiful  poster with it. Thank you very much. (Please I need your help with it).

Kindergarten Concert: Tuesday, December 7 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Please mark this on your calendar. This will be a special night of song and dance from countries around the world! Refreshments will be served in the gym afterwards.

Parent Help: We are in feed of parents to help to assemble costumes for our Spanish Dance. This can be done at home and twe will supply the materials.

The BOYS will need to wear a white, long sleeve, button up shirt and long black pants with black shoes or runners (black in preferred if possible). The GIRLS need to wear a long or short sleeved dance leotard or blouse (white is preferred). They need to have their hair pulled back in one pony tail (if possible).
