Kindergarten Newsletter

January 16^th – 20th 

Here’s what’s coming up for next week…    

·        Next Monday, the 16^th, is a holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. observance.  Enjoy your three day weekend!

·   Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it! A sign up genius has been sent to you with items that we will need for our celebration. Thank you in advance for donating!

·       Read to Succeed- Please remember that your child’s completed and signed Read to Succeed reading log is due by February 15^th.  Students who participate will earn a one day admission ticket to Six Flags.

·        Reading Eggs- Thank you to those who have been utilizing this terrific phonics and reading program. Teachers are able to check who has logged on, the number of times, and for how long. Unfortunately, there are many students who haven’t done so. Next week, teachers will send home a letter with students who would most benefit from Reading Eggs.  They will now be required to use Reading Eggs as part of their weekly homework.

    ·   Fieldtrip- Permission slips have gone home. If you have not yet signed it and returned, please do so as soon as possible.

·        Writing—Our writing job is the same all month!!!  For the month of January, we are writing about the way people look.  Please have your child write at least two sentences about the way someone in your family looks.  For example, “My mom lives with me in my house.  She has brown, curly hair, brown eyes, and big red lips.”  (in Kindergarten writing of course)

·        Our theme for next week is Martin Luther King Jr. Our new word wall word is “saw.”  We know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, am, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, you, feel, we, look, are, & said.  Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing every day!!!!

Go Noodle is a fun, free program we have been using in our classrooms and many students want to use it at home.  It’s like indoor PE.  Just go to gonoodle.com and the Channels we have used are Moose Tube and Zumba.  There are lots of other areas to explore there as well.  Don’t forget about Starfall.com-they really love it!

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!!
