Kinder news Oct. 17 - 21

Kindergarten Newsletter
October 17th – 21st


The month of October is flying by!  We were so happy to see all of our parents in the MPR for our Royal Dance!  The kids did such a great job!  Also, thank you to our thoughtful parents who have decorated our doors so creatively!  Here’s what’s coming up for this week… 
 

·        Coins for Critters—in years past, our school has raised over $1000 for the injured and rehabilitated animals at the Suisun Wildlife Center!  This year, the word isn’t spreading, and we have only collected a little over $100.  If you are willing and able, please consider helping your child to bring in some coins for this very important LOCAL organization.  If we raise enough, we will receive a really cool assembly from them!

·       The 40th Annual Doug Butt Run will take place on Wed.Oct. 19, at Laurel Creek Park (1050 Cement Hill, Fairfield, CA).  The event is free and is open to K-8th graders.  The first race begins at 3:30 pm for K-1 girls.  Races are spaced five minutes apart, girls before boys and grouped by grade levels.  Race distances vary from 1/2 mile to 1 mile.  Following is the link for registration and details associated with each group's race:  http://nbefc.com/registration/?n=&org=nbefc.com&cat=ALL.   

The school that sends the greatest number of participants to the run will be recognized.  We will earn our school name on a race plaque and hold the honor of keeping the award on site until next year's race.  Let's get out there and run!!!

Thank you,

·        SILVEYVILLE PUMPKIN PATCH

o      Our trip to the Silveyville Pumpkin Patch is coming up on Oct. 26th from 8:15 – 11:35AM. All classes will be attending together.  There will be NO PM kinder that day. 
o      If you are UNable to donate $7 to cover the cost of our trip, please let your teacher know.  In order to attend multiple field trips throughout the school year, we are depending on your donations.  Thank you!
o      Please send your child to school with a labeled booster seat that will be returned the same day.
o      We ask that you please do not bring siblings, as this complicates things.
o      You MUST bring your child to school on that day, even if you are driving your own child to the field trip.  Otherwise, s/he WILL BE MARKED ABSENT.
o      In addition, your field trip permission slip must be turned in now, in order for your child to go.  If one or more sections are incomplete, they have been returned to you, including the BACK.  We must have all parts filled out!  THANK YOU!

·        You should have received a sign up genius list for our Halloween parties.  Each class will have identical parties, but we will each be collecting our own supplies. We have already begun collecting these items!  If you didn’t receive it, you might need to check your SPAM folder, as those sign ups end up in those folders sometimes.  If you haven’t received the sign up, please let your teacher know.

·        Thank you for your donations to our parties!  If you have anything non-perishable, please bring it now.  Any perishable foods should come on Monday, Oct. 31st

·         Our theme this week is Monsters, and we are reviewing our word wall words.    NOW, we know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, have, go & to.  Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing every day!!

·        Guided Reading Little BooksJust a friendly reminder that we won’t always send a new book each day.  Some days, we are doing testing or special whole class projects, and can’t get to reading groups.  When we DO send books home, thank you for returning them every day in your child’s folder!

·        Classroom volunteers—Please help us to keep the noise level down in our classroom during center time!  While assisting the kiddos with their centers, please remind & encourage them to do their work with as little talking as possible!  We are trying to get these guys ready for independent center work in the first grade!  The more practice, the better!!!  Thank you!

·        EVERY FRIDAY IS SPIRIT DAY! Wear our school colors, GREEN & GRAY!


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!!
