2015 Is Here!
Welcome Back!
We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays with your family. We've had a great time hearing all about the many exciting adventures had by our kindergarteners!
The kindergarten classes are excited about beginning the new year exploring our new season, winter. As January progresses we look forward to expanding our study to the polar region habitats and the animals that live there.
Also, please be sure to send in a complete set of winter clothes for your child if you have not already done so. Make certain you include underwear and socks. As a reminder, the extra change of clothes does not have to be the official Hammond uniform, but it should be similar (such as khaki or navy bottoms with a red, white, or blue shirt)
Sight Word Update
We are thrilled that so many of our kindergarten friends have learned to read the blue sight word cards. Beginning NEXT WEEK our sight word study will be selected from the purple set of cards. If you have not received a purple set of sight words, you will get them by next Tuesday. Please keep the blue set of sight words at home. Continue to encourage your child to read and write all of the sight words we have covered. Creating sentences and placing them into a sequenced story is an excellent way to review these words. It is amazing how such a simple activity can keep the words fresh in their minds as well as improve spelling proficiency.
