Kindergarten has been busy! Mrs. Wykert's class had help writing their letters to Santa from our buddy's in Mrs. Tackenberg's class. We have been subitizing, adding, and subtracting in math and learning to explain our thinking processes. We will be making a lot of crafts this month that involve sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste because the holidays are the perfect time to learn about our five senses!
