A Busy Week Ahead.....

Hello Families,
     Just a quick note to tell you about the fun-filled week we have ahead of us in Kindergarten!  Monday afternoon we will be walking down to see the Gingerbread House Exhibit at the Folklife Center.  Tuesday is our Holidays Around the World celebration in all 4 Kindergarten rooms.  Tricia will visit with a story and craft on Wednesday.  Friday is our annual Mary Hogan Holiday Sing Along at 10:00 - families are welcome.  We will also see our Big Buddies on Friday to share books and wish each other a Happy Vacation!

December Fun and Learning

Hi Families,
      We gathered as a whole school on Friday for our Readathon Closing Ceremony.  We laughed and cheered and felt great pride as readers and as Mary Hogan Hawks. 



The excitement was high...we knew the school had read enough minutes to beat the goal of 350,000 minutes read by the end of the Readathon.  That meant we would get to see Mr. Lindemann and Mrs. Urban compete in the Principal's Challenge!  It was very fun to watch!



On December 18th, the whole Kindergarten group will take part in a Holidays Around the World learning event.  The classes will rotate through all 4 Kindergarten rooms to learn about a holiday celebrated in a different place in the world.  Would anyone like to come in for that afternoon to be a classroom helper?  It is always helpful to have some extra hands for the crafting part of the afternoon.  Let me know if you would like to volunteer to help on that day.  It is from 12:00-2:00. 
Here are some photos from our week.....
