This weekly newsletter from a kindergarten classroom provides updates on what the students learned that week and information about upcoming lessons and reminders. The students learned about the short vowel sound /o/ in reading, practiced printing uppercase and lowercase O, and sequenced story events from The Polar Express. In math, they ordered numbers 0-10 and identified missing numbers. The newsletter also discusses upcoming lessons in January and provides reminders about returning rest items after the holidays and practicing noted skills over the break.
