I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break! I am looking forward to seeing everyone again in the new year and hearing about all of the fun that was had over break!  Kindergarten will be continuing our study of the human body! We will pick up where we left off- learning all about muscles! This week we will also explore healthy eating habits, food groups, and ways to stay active in the winter. Next week… the digestive system!

This January Kindergarten will also be setting some new social goals. We will be working on strategies for patience and turn taking, teamwork, and battling the winter fidgets! We will also revisit our earlier conversations from our diversity unit around respect, what it means, and what respectful behavior looks like in action!

This week is predicted to bring some colder weather! Please make sure your child comes to school with appropriate layers, and label clothing items with a name. We have 2-3 snow pants (of blue or black color) in our classroom that have gone “unclaimed” by students in the class. Please let me know if your child is missing snow pants and I will do my best to return them to their rightful owners! Extra socks and mittens are also highly suggested this time of year! Thank you!
