Mrs. Pickett's Kindergarten Class 2017-2018

Friday, December 15 will be our Polar Express Day!  We will drink hot cocoa and eat popcorn while we watch The Polar Express.  Feel free to bring pillows and blankets to be comfortable in while watching the movie.  I am really looking forward to the day! Jenny

DO NOT EAT!  Please do not eat the gingerbread houses we sent home today.  The houses are glued together with hot glue, we used expired frosting to decorate them, and the candies we used are old candies (I don't know how old).  These are for decoration only.  The children did a terrific job on these!  Please see earlier posts for information about our Polar Express day on Friday, December 15, 2017.  This will be a fun day! Winter Break is coming!  Please check previous posts for the dates. Lost and Found Please check the school's Lost and Found if you are missing coats, hats, gloves, lunch boxes, backpacks, or anything else.  The items in Lost and Found will be donated to charity on December 15.  Colder Weather Occasionally, our weather does get cold.  Please dress your child appropriately to go outside for recess on these days.  We go out to recess every day.  It is essential that they have an appropriate jacket to wear at recess. 

Gingerbread Houses This Friday, December 8, we will be decorating Gingerbread Houses.  Thank you to Mrs. Olson and Mrs. Myers for making the houses for us!  We will decorate houses during our normal center time from 9:15-10:30.  Parents are welcome to join us.  This is always a fun activity and I look forward to it!  Assessments I will be doing assessments with students next week and Mrs. Diemert, our literacy specialist, will be asking each child to read for her.  At this time of year, we expect children to be reading at level 2 or level B.  I am eager to see how much the children have learned!  Polar Express Next Friday, December 15, we will watch The Polar Express at school.  It will be a pajama day!  We will have popcorn and hot cocoa during the movie.  The book and movie are absolutely terrific and I look forward to sharing both with the class next week!  Winter Break We will be on Winter break from December 18-January 2.  Enjoy the time with friends and family!
