November 17^th – 21^st             

Because of our WACKY days this week, we will not be doing regular centers and will not need parent volunteers.  We would like help however, with FOLDERS in the morning, if you’re willing to stick around for a moment!  

Here’s what’s coming up for this week… 

 

·        Every day this week is a minimum day for the WHOLE school in order to accommodate parent conferences.  *ALL Kinder kids come to school together from 8:15-11:35am all week long. Dismissal every day will be just like Wednesdays.

·        We look forward to meeting you all this week for your student/teacher conference.  Your child IS encouraged to attend their student-led conference.  This is a great way to involve your child in his/her own education. 

·        PLEASE make sure that you are signed up for a parent conference time through sign-up genius.  This is our ONLY sign up, so please make sure you are on it!

·        Toys for Tots will start as soon as we return from the Thanksgiving Break.  Student Council will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for kids of all ages.  These toys will be donated to families in need in the Fairfield community.    

·        Mrs. Ron’s class will NOT be having parent conferences at this time.  They will occur upon Mrs. Ron’s return in January. 

·        Mrs. Ron’s parent volunteers are still collecting donations for a “Get Well” basket for her.  We will deliver it to her soon!

·        Holiday Tree Donations—Thank you for all of your classroom donations!  We hope to raise lots of money for our kiddos at the Holiday Fair on Saturday, December 6^th from 10am-2pm.  Santa will be there!

·        Canned Food Drive—Thank you for donating canned foods!!!

·        Our theme this week is Thanksgiving, and our new word wall word is “am.”   We know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, you & am.  Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing every day!

Thank you again for all that you do at home to support your child’s learning.  We appreciate all that you do!  Please feel free to email with any concerns or questions!  Thank you!!

November 3^rd - 6^th           

We’d like to send you ALL a very BIG THANK YOU for helping us to make our Halloween parties so much fun, despite the RAIN!  Your generosity and helpfulness is very much appreciated!!!!!

Here’s what’s coming up for this week… 

 

·        A sign up genius will be emailed soon so that you can sign up for student/ teacher/ parent conferences!!  Can’t believe it’s that time already!

·        CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS……Although we ALWAYS rely heavily on our parent volunteers in order to run a successful and smooth classroom, we ESPECIALLY need extra help in Mrs. Ron’s class.  Mrs. Ron will be out until the end of the calendar year, and will have many different substitute teachers coming and going.  We need consistent, reliable help in her room in order to keep her class going like the rest of us!  If you are available, PLEASE, please, please help us out!   

·        TURKEYS in DISGUISE!!!!!  Please help your child to transform their turkeys in disguise, and turn them in as soon as you finish them.  These are going up on our walls, and we would love for them all to be special and creative and fun.  Please help your child to add special details, such as fabric, scrapbook paper, glitter, or any other details to really disguise those turkeys.  PLEASE NO FOOD!

·        Please cut your turkeys OUT!  Thank you!

·        Canned Food Drive—Student council has organized a canned food drive, and all donated items will be delivered to needy families in FAIRFIELD, just in time for Thanksgiving.  We are helping our kids to be grateful for what we have.  Please consider donating to those who have less. 

·        Upcoming Dates to be aware of----

o      Nov. 7^th –no school for students

o      Nov. 10^th is no school.

o      Nov. 11^th – Veteran’s Day – No school!

·        Nov. 17 – 21^st  are minimum days for the WHOLE school.  *ALL Kinder kids come to school together from 8:15-11:35am all week long. Dismissal every day will be just like Wednesdays.  Please be on time to pick up your Kindergartener.  Be prepared for a crazy week! 

·         Our theme this week is Leaves & Scarecrows, and our new word wall word is “has”.   We know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, have, go, to, & has.  Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing every day!

• Writing—we have covered the following topics/words in our monthly writing—color words & size and shape words.  Our NEW writing job this month is to include FAMILY words, such as mom, dad, brother, sister, cousin, etc.  Please try to practice writing sentences using these words every day.  The kids will have less days this month in which to practice for show-off writing, so the more you can help at home, the better they will do!

·        Guided Reading Little Books—Our goal is to start sending these home again this week.  They will NOT come home, however, during the week of minimum days.  Thank you for returning these each day.

·        Please do NOT send your child’s little reading book back without the Ziploc bag.  This is our way of monitoring who has returned their books.

Thank you again for all that you do at home to support your child’s learning.  We appreciate all that you do!  Please feel free to email with any concerns or questions!  Thank you!!
