Hi Families,

We have had another fantastic week in kindergarten!

Updates:
-No school on Thursday November 22nd or Friday November 23rd
-Conferences will be held on Thursday November 22nd, I look forward to seeing you then!

Literacy
This week we learned about the letters E, F and G. Each day students shared items brought from home that match the letter of the day. Students learned the sounds of the letters and practiced printing the letter (upper and lowercase). We ask that your child bring a matching item for the letter of the day. A new letter will not be covered on Fridays and the letters will go in order.

• Monday, Nov 26 - H
• Tuesday, Nov 27 - I
• Wednesday, Nov 28 - J
• Thursday, Nov 29- K

Each day we also cover a mindfulness concept that connects with the letter of the day. Check out some of the topics we explored!

E is for Explore & Exercise
