Kindergarten Newsletter

January 26^th – 30^th    

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

·        Wednesday is our 100^th Day of School!!!  If you can, please try to wear something 100 related!  Maybe….100 bows in your hair, 100 eyeballs glued to your shirt, 100 beads on a necklace, 100 stickers stuck to a hat, whatever you can dream up!  We’d love to see your creativity if you are up for a challenge!  No pressure, but it’s always fun to see the kids show off 100 of something!

·        Thank you to those who are willing to bring in a bag or box of snacks to sort for Thursday and Friday’s centers.  We are still in need of more snacks.  Please ask your teacher if you can donate something.  Thank you!!!

·        Our Great Kindness Challenge is ON!!!!  The Student Council has challenged us all to be as kind as you can this week.  There is a sheet coming home today to help us with ideas if you might need them.  If you fill out the sheet with things that you do for others, and bring it to school, you will earn a pride card for the office!! 

·        Our theme for this week is 100^th Day of School, and our new word wall word is “went.”  We know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, you, feel, we, look, are & went.  Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing every day!!!!

·        Kindergarten provides their own prizes for our Pride Card Drawings every Friday.  If you are willing and/or able to donate some little $1 prizes for our prize box, we would greatly appreciate it!!!!  THANK YOU!

·        WEEKLY HOMEWORK—Please have your child complete 1-2 pages per day.  Please help and encourage your child to USE THE LINES when writing words and to write 2-3 sentences on only one topic.  Have your child complete their work in their very best handwriting, USING CORRECT LETTER FORMAITON, as this is a very important skill for Kindergarten.

·        Writing—Our writing job is the same all month.  We are STILL writing about the way people look.  Please have your child write at least two sentences about the way someone in your family looks.  For example, “My mom has short blond hair and big blue eyes.  She is tall.  Her smile is beutifl.”  (in Kindergarten writing of course)  We will be having our Show Off Writing at the end of the week, so please help your child practice at home the next few days. 

·        REMINDER Please be sure that your child returns their book bag in their folder everyday.  We cannot send a new book home with them to practice reading if they do not bring their book bag to reading group.  Thank you!!

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!!
