Kinder news March 23 - 27

Kindergarten Newsletter
March 23rd – 27th     

Thank you for all your hard work to help make those fantastic leprechaun traps!  We all had such fun!!!

Here’s what’s coming up for our last week before Spring Break…

·        Spring Break is almost here!  Our break will be from March 28th – April 6th.  Have a wonderful and sunny break, and we’ll see you on Tuesday!

·        Our Farm field trip will be on the Wednesday that we come back from Spring Break, April 8th.  Please see your teacher if you are interested in riding on the bus with us.  We can only fit three parents per class to ride on the bus.  HOWEVER, if you’d like to join us, just plan to meet us there on your own.  Carpooling would be best!

·        BINDERS!!!!!  We still have SEVERAL kids that have not given us a binder.  We are filling these with your child’s beautiful art projects done throughout the year.  If you have not yet given us one, please do so ASAP!!!  Thank you!  If you’re not sure, please ask! 

·        Our themes for this week are Easter, Chicks & Eggs.  Our new word wall word is “come.”  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, do, but, will & come.

·        This is the LAST WEEK to order a yearbook!  Don’t be left out of these fun memories!  There will not be any “extras” ordered, so if you would like one, please order it this week!

·        Library reminder—Please help your child to remember to bring in the library books BEFORE Wednesdays.  We need to return them before our library day!!!!

·        WEEKLY HOMEWORKPlease have your child complete 1-2 pages each night, and complete the writing assignment. 

·       Our Student Council is STILL collecting household items and easy to carry food items for Foster Care kids/teenagers of Solano County.  Their Wish List includes:  
Toiletries - shampoo, conditioner, soap/bodywash, lotion, face cleansers, deodorant (men's & women's), shaving cream, razors.  Full & travel sizes.
Household items - laundry detergent, dryer sheets, stain remover, paper towels, toilet paper, baby wipes, dish soap, sponges, all-purpose cleaners.
·        WritingFor this last week in March, we will finish talking and writing about how things taste.  This will be our last week for taste words, and show-off writing will happen on Thursday or Friday.  Please have your child write at least two sentences about something you eat at home, school or out on the town, and write about what it tastes like.  Our goal now is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, and really describing the experience.  “Today my mom took me out for frozen yogurt.  I picked vanilla frozen yogurt with blueberries on top.  The frozen yogurt tasted cold and soft in my mouth.  The blueberries squirted juice when I ate them.”  (in Kindergarten writing of course)  We are encouraging LOTS of writing that all goes together!  

·        Reading Eggs!!!  Please continue to log onto Reading Eggs and use this program to help reinforce our standards from home.  We are thrilled that it is finally here and would like to encourage you to use it!  Once your child takes the initial assessment, he/she will be reading at his/her individual reading level.  It really is a great program!

·        REMINDER Please be sure that your child returns their plastic Ziploc book bag in their folder everyday.  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!!
