Happy New Year, 2010!

Thank you to all the parents who helped make our holiday party a big success. The kinders had a fantastic time and we all appreciated the time and effort put into the party. It was a lot of fun! We hope everyone had a relaxing holiday break and are ready to begin the new year! This is definitely the time when the kinders really excel.

We are focusing on solid shapes (sphere, cone, cylinder, cube) this week while reviewing the plane shapes (circle, square...). The kinders have been doing a great job creating 3-D solids with toothpicks and play dough! We will discover which solid shapes will roll, stack and slide, in addition to discovering new words like "edge" for a shape.

Please help your kinder to remember his/her boots if s/he wants to play out in the snow on the playground. It is a school rule that boots are worn so shoes, socks & pants don't become soaked. If they do not have boots, kinders play on the blacktop or sidewalks.

Have a great week!

Susan :)
