Kindergarten
Language Arts- Our new songs are, "Candy Cane Chorus" and "Reindeer on Rooftops".  Look for the songs to come home on Friday.  We learned the letters and sounds for x and y.  We also learned the two sounds that oo can make.  New popcorn words include: little, and, yes, no, so & go.  Keep practicing the letters, sounds and words over the break.  We are seeing great progress here!!
Math- We continue to work with numbers through 10.  Our centers the past two weeks included the following: ordering cups by number and putting the correct number of sticks in each, number puzzles, numbering dog bones,  gingerbread baking and hot chocolate dash.

1st grade tier 3 reading
We continued to work with word endings.  We focused on the following short vowel endings: -it, -in, ig, -op, -og, -ot, -ill, and -all.  We also began to look at some long vowel endings including: -ade, -ake, -ike, -ile, and -ide.  We have started reading level D books, which are somewhat equivalent to a DRA level 6.  Continue reading daily with your child over the break!!

ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS!!!
