Kindergarten Newsletter

February 17^th – 20^th  

THANK YOU again to our wonderful Kindergarten families who donated items, made or brought food, helped with set up and clean up, or simply joined us on Valentine’s Day!  The kids had a fantastic day because of your generosity.  Here’s what’s coming up for this week…    

·        There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, the 27^th for all students.  This is a teacher work day.

·        Our theme for this week is President’s Day.  Our new word wall word is “they.”  We now know the following words:  I, like, see, a, is, the, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, am, look, are, saw, went, with, up & they.

·        Next Thursday, the 26^th, our Fairfield Police Dept. will be here fingerprinting our Kindergarteners.  Please complete the previously emailed form if you do NOT want your child to participate.  Let us know if you need the email again.

·        Writing—Our writing job is the same all month.  We are still writing using SOUND words.  We will be doing our monthly show-off writing this week!!!  Please have your child write at least two sentences about the sounds you hear.  You can go for another walk, tell us about the sounds you hear in your house, on the way to school, whatever you like.  “On the way to school I heard a garbage truck.  It went beep beep beep.  It was very loud and rumbly.”  (in Kindergarten writing of course).

·        REMINDER We are report card testing currently, and are not able to do reading groups at this time.  We will resume after next week.  Please read with your child every day!

·        There is NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS Friday Feb. 27th

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!!
