We will learn about Thanksgiving and the story of the First Thanksgiving. We gather daily to pray a decade of the rosary for peace.

In December we will learn about Advent and how it is a time for preparationfor Jesus' birth.

Reading

We continue with our work on letters and sounds, learning new words, reading, and enjoying stories. Be sure to watch for FAMIY TIMES pages. They are sent hoem weekly and they contain the new words we are learning, along with the letters, sounds, and concepts.

It is a great idea to make flash cards for all the words we are learning-sight words and words to sound out. So far we have learned 11 words: I a to am the little is have we my like

We practice sounding out words like: mat cat sat pat map cap sap Sam Pam Tam Pat

Math

Our work will center around numbers and counting objects. The number words one-ten are introduced.

The Kindergarteners will be asked to bring a treat to school for their reading buddy in December. Please watch folders in Dec. for more details. Also please check the school newsletter for many things going on in the weeks and months to come.
