DONATIONS!!!!
Thank you to all who have donated to our school supplies! Kindergarteners need lots of supplies and
with your help, we are hoping to have plenty to last for a long time!
Here’s what’s coming up for this week…
·
Upcoming Important Dates~~
August 25th is Back to School Night. Kinder-2nd grade 6:15-7:15. 3rd – 5th grade
5:00-6:00. Please start in the MPR at
6:15. We will then meet in our library
for a brief overview of Kindergarten.
Finally we will go to the classrooms.
There will be paperwork for you to take home on your child’s desk. Please have your child show you their Pete
the Cat and their rainbow book. The
rainbow book and the Pete the Cat art work are assessments on both your child’s
ability to listen to and follow directions, as well as being an assessment of
their fine motor skills (ability to cut, color and write). As you will see, several of our students are
in need of daily practice with both cutting and writing their names.
·
Parent Volunteers~
We can’t wait to have your help in the classroom! A sign up sheet for Parent Volunteers will be out in your child’s
classroom at Back to School Night. If
you are interested in volunteering in our classroom this year or chaperoning a
field trip, you will need to be fingerprinted with the school
district. You can get this process
started early by being fingerprinted at Back to School Night in the front
office, or calling the District Office and scheduling an appointment to be
fingerprinted.
·
FINGERPRINTING will
be available in the front office from 5:00-7:15pm on Back To School Night. Fingerprinting
is $44 and cash, check or credit card will be accepted.
·
PLEASE make sure that we have your email
address. If we don’t, you will not know
what’s going on!!!
·
Homework will come home
every Monday and be due back to school every Friday. Your child should always complete their
homework in pencil unless specifically asked to color something in crayon. Please do not return it to school
earlier in the week. It will
not be collected until Friday.
·
Homework this week~
So far, we are only requiring handwriting practice. We cannot stress enough the importance of proper formation for
handwriting. Please be sure to sit
with your child to ensure proper formation of letters, spaces between
each letter, and writing ON the lines.
·
This week we are working on the letters Dd,
Ee, & Ff.
Please help us reinforce proper letter formation by using the same
phrases we use at school:
o When
you make the lowercase letter d, start with a “magic c”, don’t pick up your
pencil, and go up, then back down on the same line.
o When
you make a lowercase e, start on the middle line, make a straight line out,
then up and around.
o When
you make a lowercase f, always start from the TOP, make a candy cane down, pick
up your pencil and cross it.
·
Folders~~
folders go back and forth to school EVERY DAY, with the exclusion of Wed.’s. Please encourage your child to
put their folder in the bucket every day.
Thank you for NOT do it for
them, as they will not learn the routine.
We are trying to encourage independence!
·
Please be sure that EVERYTHING you bring to
school is LABELED with your
name!!!!
·
Please
have your child use the BATHROOM BEFORE school every day.
·
SNACK~~ please
send your child to school every day with a snack. We do not provide snack for
your child.
·
We have severe peanut allergies in Kindergarten
every year. Please NO PEANUTS
at snack time!!!
·
Paperwork~~
If you have not returned the paperwork from the first week of school, please do
so NOW!!!!
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!!
