Kindergarten Newsletter for February 15th-19th

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 for our Valentine’s Day party!  The kids had a fantastic day because of your generosity.  Here’s what’s coming up for next week…    

·        There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 15^th for all students. This is for observance of Washington’s Birthday.

·         

·        Sharing- Next week’s letter is “Bb”. Please make sure your child writes three clues about his/her share and practices reading them aloud.

·        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.

·        Writing—Our writing job is the same all month.  We are still writing using SOUND words. 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 currently testing for report cards, therefore aren’t able to do reading groups at this time.  We will resume after next week.  Please read with your child at home every day!

·        Fieldtrip - Permission Slips for our next field trip went home last week. We will be returning to Paradise Valley Retirement Home. AM Kinder classes will go on Tuesday, March 8, while PM Kinder classes will go on Thursday, March 10. Please return your child’s completed and signed permission slip by February 19^th. Please let your child’s teacher know if you will be a parent driver as soon as possible. Thank you!

·        There is NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS Friday March 4^th as it is a teacher work day.

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!!
