Math Problem of the Month
The purpose of the SCE Math Problem of
the Month is to encourage students to
work on problems that make them feel
successful, enjoy math, persevere, and
problem solve at home. I am so proud of
Collin (from the PM class) for being SCE’s
kindergarten winner in November!
December problems can be turned in
anytime between now and 12/18. We hope
you choose to participate and have some
fun with math! You do NOT need to sign in
to access this. If you are prompted to sign
in, just select the “December” link from
the options on the left side of the page.

Please sign your child’s
Progress Report envelope and
return it to school if you have
not done so already. I will
save these to use again later
this year. Thank you!

“Big Kid” Buddies
Both classes got to spend time with their
big kid buddies this week. The morning
class met with their 2nd grade friends from
Mrs. Hurto’s class and the afternoon class
met with their 5th grade friends from Miss
Brunst’s class. We read Bear Feels Scared
by Karma Wilson. Then the kids got to play
“APPLE” bingo with their buddies. The
students did a great job listening and
working together. Ask your child to tell
you about his or her buddy.

Coming Up in December…
We have lots of learning work to do in
the next two weeks before winter break.
One of the things I am most excited
about is our gingerbread unit.
Kindergarten students are learning to
identify characters, settings, and major
events in a story. We will be reading
lots of different versions of the
Gingerbread Man and will use what we
are learning about characters, settings,
and major events to discuss similarities
and differences in the stories. We will
bake our own gingerbread man and then
use a computer program called “Pixie” to
write a class book about our experience.
We have been working hard to learn
when to use a period, question mark, or
an exclamation point. We will work
together to edit our writing to make
sure we include punctuation at the end
of each sentence. We are going to be
diving into the measurement and data
standards in math, and we will be
incorporating math into our gingerbread
unit as well. It should be fun!
