Kindergarten Newsletter for March 6-10th

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

·      Fieldtrip- We will be walking to the Cordelia Library on Monday, March 6th to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday. We will listen to a story, complete a craft, and have a snack. If you are able to volunteer to supervise that day, please join us. Please do NOT bring any siblings to tag along when chaperoning a fieldtrip (this is a school district policy). The AM Kinder class will be leaving at 9:45 a.m. and the PM Kinder class will be leaving at 1:15 p.m.

·        DR. SEUSS SPIRIT DAY !!! Wear RED, black & white on Monday, March 6th as a salute to Dr. Seuss.

·        Leprechaun Trap homework!!—We are asking you to help your children design and create some sort of leprechaun trap to bring to school before Friday, March 17th. A letter about this special assignment went home this week. We will be setting up their traps ON St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) 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. 

·        IMAGINE THAT- We will be taking a fieldtrip to Imagine That in Vacaville on Thursday, March 30th. It is centered around hands-on STEAM activities. Please turn in your permission slip by March 10th, if you haven’t done so already.


·        Minimum Days- There will be minimum days for the entire school to accommodate Parent/Teacher Conferences on March 15, 16, and 17th.  On these days ALL kindergarteners will attend school from 8:15 – 11:35am. Please plan accordingly….traffic will be a nightmare, please be patient.


·        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 email you a SignUp Genius to schedule a conference during March 15-17th

·        Report Cards will be sent home with students the week of March 13th.  

·        Mundy Movie Night- will be on Friday, March 10th from 5-7pm in the MPR. The Never Ending Story will be featured. It is $5 per student.

·        Our theme for next week is Frogs.  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.

·        READING EGGS and WEEKLY HOMEWORK— Reading EGGS is now a required portion of the weekly homework assignment. Your child must log on at least 3 times each week. Your child’s username and password are taped inside their folder. Please have your child complete 1-2 pages each night, and complete the writing assignment on the last page.  Your child should now be working on writing 3 sentences on one topic.

·        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!!
