Monthly Highlights
Junior Kindergarten
January 2025
Dear Parents:
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break. May 2025 bring health and happiness!
I would like to thank all of you that donated cookies for the Operation Backpack Program. We collected 89 packages of cookies to send home with the backpack recipients to enjoy over the Christmas holiday season. The counselors at the school were overwhelmed!
Our theme this month is Discovering the Senses and My Body. The children will gain an understanding of the five senses, and how we use them to learn about the world around us. They will learn about disability awareness as they discover what their bodies can do. Other topics this month will include body part identification, a review of shapes, an introduction to three dimensional shapes, (sphere, cube, cylinder, and pyramid) winter, opposites, numbers 11, 12, and 13, and Martin Luther King Jr. We will be covering letters M, N, and O, and be introduced to sight words in, out, on, off, and of.
Our memory Bible verse for January is “Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart.” Colossians 3:15. Our Bible stories will include Young Samuel Listens to God’s Voice and Joseph’s Colorful Coat. The children will learn that God wants us to forgive others as He forgives us.
Mitten day will be on January 15th for letter M. Please bring in a pair of mittens. The children will be doing a variety of activities with their mittens during the day.
Neon day will be on January 22nd for letter N. Please wear neon clothes or accessories.
We will celebrate Opposite Day on Wednesday, January 29th. The children will have fun wearing their clothes the opposite way. Wear one long sock and one short sock. Wear one pant leg rolled up and the other one down. Try wearing your shirt backwards or inside out. Have fun and be creative!
Over the next couple months, the teachers will be gathering and recording information regarding your child’s growth and development. This information will be shared with you in March during parent/teacher conferences. There are several skills and concepts that we would like for your child to work towards mastering before entering kindergarten. We will be sending a note with more information home.
Here are the words to a fun music and movement activity.

Dear Parents:
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break. May 2025 bring health and happiness to all of you!
I would like to thank all of you that donated cookies to the Operation Backpack Program. We collected 89 packages of cookies to send home with backpack recipients to enjoy over the holiday season. The school counselors were overwhelmed with the generous donations.
Our theme this month is The Five Senses and Disability Awareness. The children will gain an understanding of the five senses, and how we use them to learn about the world around us. They will discover that people with disabilities may rely more upon the senses they have and are able to adapt to their environment with the help of special equipment and sometimes trained animals. Other topics this month will include body part identification; a review of shapes; an introduction to three dimensional shapes (sphere, cube, cylinder, and pyramid); numbers 6, 7, and 8; winter; opposites; and Martin Luther King Jr. We will be covering letters M, N, and O.
Our memory Bible verse for January is “Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart.” Colossians 3:15. Our Bible stories will include Young Samuel Listens to God’s Voice and Joseph’s Colorful Coat. The children will learn that God wants us to forgive others as He forgives us.
Mitten Day is January 15th for the letter M. Please bring mittens to school. The children will be doing special activities throughout the school day with our mittens.
Neon Day is January 22nd for the letter N. Wear neon colored clothing and any accessories that are neon to school.
We will celebrate Opposite Day on Wednesday, January 29. The children will have fun wearing their clothes the opposite way. Wear one long sock and one short sock. Wear one pant leg rolled up and the other one down. Try wearing your shirt backwards or inside out. Have fun and be creative!

January 2025
Dear Parents,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break. May 2025 bring you all health and happiness!
I would like to thank all of you that donated cookies for the Operation Backpack Program. We collected 89 packages of cookies to send home with the backpack recipients to enjoy over the Christmas holiday season. The school counselors were overwhelmed with the generous donations.
Our theme this month is Artful Expression – The Creative Spirit. The children will enjoy exploring and creating with a variety of different media. Your refrigerator will be beautifully decorated. Other topics this month will include a review of the basic four shapes (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle) and an introduction to additional shapes (rhombus, oval, heart, star, and octagon); the winter season; cold weather animals; hibernation; and migration.
Our memory Bible verse for January is “Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart.” Colossians 3:15. Our Bible stories will include Joseph’s Colorful Coat and David Praises God with Psalms. The children will discover that God forgives us for our mistakes and can bring peace to our hearts.
On January 16th we will be having Hibernation Day and each child can bring in a stuffed bear for the day.
Our teachers will be evaluating and recording information regarding your child’s growth and development over the next few months. This information will be shared with you in April. Some of the skills and concepts that we would like your child to work towards mastering are knowledge of personal information (Your child should be able to state his/her full name, age, birthday, gender,
and parents’ full names.), color recognition, basic shape recognition, number recognition 0-10, rote counting from 1-20, reciting the alphabet, appropriate pencil grasp and scissor usage. Please work on these skills and concepts at home.
Here are the words to a fun music and movement activity.
