Kindergarten Newsletter February 29-March 4


 Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss!!!!
                  Here’s what’s coming up for next week…    

·        Our theme for the week is Dr. Seuss.  Our new word wall word is “do.”  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.

·        Wednesday March 2nd please dress in red, black, and/or white to celebrate Dr.Seuss.  Our whole school will be reading books at the same time. Your child can bring their favorite book. It will go home with them in the afternoon.

·        Our letter for sharing is “K”.

·        In honor of Dr.Seuss’s Birthday we will be going to the Cordelia Library on Thursday. AM Kindergartners will go at 9:45AM and PM will go at 11:45. We will be hearing a story and creating a craft project.

·        Thursday March 3rd please join us from 5:00-6:30 for our first Nelda Mundy STEAM FAMILY NIGHT! Your child will get to experience science in a new format with you by their side. Here is a link to give you more information!


·        Friday March 4th – No School for students (Teacher Work Day!)

·        Leprechaun Trap homework!!—We are asking you to help your children design and create some sort of leprechaun trap to bring to school by Thursday, Mar. 17th. We will be setting up their traps ON St. Patrick’s Day to see if we can catch a leprechaun!!!  Please feel free to be as creative as you’d like OR as simple as you’d like!  There are lots of ideas if you google it or on Pinterest.

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

·        Writing—Our writing job has changed!  For the month of March, we will be talking and writing about how things taste.  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 describe 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!  

·        REMINDER Please be sure that your child returns their 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!!
