Share Letter J

I'm sorry! We already shared items that start with the letter C. Our share letter will be the letter J this week.
Miss Nenadov’s Kindergarten Weekly Memo
12/14/09-12/18/09


Sharing- hard C sound

Bible- Christ’s Birth

Memory Verse: Letter Jj-

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me.’” John 14:6

Phonics- We will learn our last letter of the alphabet this week. The Letter Qq! We will also focus on the vowel sound in the middle of words.

I will test your child on their phonemic awareness and put them into a reading group. We will learn how reading groups work this week and we will start reading groups when we come back after Christmas Break (January 4th)!

Handwriting- We will learn the small cursive q and we will continue to write small words. Starting this week, the print will get smaller. I will be switching the students from “fat” pencils to regular sized pencils.


Math- We will finish up chapter 4 and we will have our test this week!
This week we will:
-estimate quantities
-use a graph to solve problems
-review counting numbers 1-12

Science- God’s Plan for Weather

Dress Code Reminder

Students must come to school in their proper uniform daily. Sweaters that are worn INSIDE must be school colors. If you want your child to wear a jacket when they are OUTSIDE ONLY, then it may be different colors. However, if you intend for your child to wear their sweater inside the classroom, it needs to be a GCS color.


Snack Reminder

We have snack time everyday from 9:55a.m.-10:15a.m. Please try and remember to send your child to school with a snack. I do have a small supply of snacks to give your child if they do not have a snack, but the supply is quickly disappearing. The students are usually pretty hungry by snack time.

Christmas Program

THANK YOU for working with your child on their part for the program. I am impressed with how quickly they are learning their parts. The program is next Thursday, December 11th. It begins at 7:00p.m. and we are the first group up. Please have your child dropped off in the classroom NO LATER THAN 6:30p.m.! The program is MANDATORY, and you are asked to stay for the whole performance. After the program we will walk back to the classroom and you may pick your child up from there. Your child DOES NOT need to wear their uniform for the program. However, they need to dress appropriately. We encourage the girls to wear dresses and the boys collared shirts and pants. If your child does not have anything “fancy” to wear, their school uniform will do fine.


Christmas Letter

I am sending your child home with their Christmas letter. Please enjoy decorating the letter with your child. Don’t feel like you have to buy any supplies to decorate it. If you only have crayons at home, that will do. J

Missing Sweaters

If your child is missing their sweater or any other object, check the Lost and Found. It is located directly across from the GCS office. There is a chance that the missing item may be in the classroom. However, on Wednesdays and Sundays our rooms are used, so I make a point to take everything to the Lost and Found. Just as a reminder, please write your child’s name inside the sweater on a tag in case it gets left behind.
