March 7 - 11 Kinder Newsletter

Kindergarten Newsletter
March 7th - 11th 

Thank you to all the wonderful families that came out to our first Family STEAM night. We hope you all had a blast!! We did!

For Next Week…


Our field trip to Paradise Estates Retirement is on Tuesday March 8th for AM Kindergarten.  We will leave at 9:00 and return at 11AM.  The PM Kindergarten will go on Thursday, March 10.  We will leave at 12:30 and return at 2:30. All children must come to the class before the field trip. If you plan to drive your own child, you must sign out with your child’s teacher.

All students must have a booster seat clearly labeled.

Our letter for sharing is “Q”.

·        Our new word wall word is ‘but.” 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.


·        Leprechaun Trap homework!!—We are asking you to help your children design and create some sort of leprechaun trap to bring to school by Monday, 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!!


Here’s what’s coming up…   

·        March 16-18  are minimum days for the entire school to accommodate for Parent Conferences.  Wed. is our usual Wacky Wednesday schedule.  AM All and PM Kindergartners will attend school from 8:15 – 11:35am on Thursday and Friday. Parking should be a nightmare!  Beware!


·        Speaking of parent conferences… for this trimester, all students who are working ON grade level or above will NOT be required to have a parent conference.  If your child does need a parent/teacher conference, your child’s teacher will inform you and schedule it for either March 16, 17 or 18.

·        Report Cards will come home the week of March 14th.

·        Spring Break will be here before you know it….March 21 – 28th.   

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!!
