Kindergarten Newsletter March 27th-31st

Welcome back from break!  We hope you all enjoyed a restful week.

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

·        Thursday, March 30th, is our fieldtrip to Imagine That in Vacaville. Please send your child to school at their normal kindergarten time with a booster seat clearly labeled with his/her name. All students need to go to class first for attendance. Please remember that siblings are not allowed on fieldtrips per district policy.

·        Bunny Blotto will be on Friday, March 31st in the MPR. This is a family event very similar to bingo with prizes. Doors open at 5:00pm. Blotto cards, food, and drinks will be for sale. It is sure to be fun night!!!

·        Report Cards- Thank you to those who signed and returned one copy of their child’s report card, as well as, those who attended a conference. If you haven’t signed and returned your child’s report card yet, please do so ASAP!!! Thank you.

·        Binders!!! We still have several children that have not given us a 2” three ring binder with a clear plastic sleeve cover. We are filling these binders with your child’s beautiful art projects done throughout the year. If you have not yet given us one, please do so ASAP. Thank you.

·        Our theme for next week is Butterflies & Bugs.  Our new word wall word is “your.”  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, but, & will.

·        Library reminder- Please help your child to remember to bring in his/her library book BEFORE Fridays. We need to return them before our library checkout day.

·        Writing—For the last week of March, we will finish talking and writing about how things taste.  This will be our last week for taste words, and show-off writing will happen at the end of the week. Please have your child write at least two sentences about something they have eaten at home, school or restaurant and what it tastes like. Our goal now is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, and really describing the experience.  For example ”Today my mom took me out for frozen yogurt. I picked vanilla yogurt with blueberries on top. The yogurt tasted cold and soft in my mouth. The blueberries squirted juice when I ate them.”  (in Kindergarten spelling/writing of course). We are encouraging LOTS of writing that all goes together!  

·        WEEKLY HOMEWORK—Packets always come home on Mondays unless we tell you otherwise.   Please have your child complete 1-2 pages each night, and NEATLY complete the writing assignment. 

·        Reading Eggs!!!  Please continue to log onto Reading Eggs and use this program to help reinforce our standards from home. It’s a great program that is part of your child’s weekly homework assignment!!!

·        REMINDER Please be sure that your child returns their plastic Ziploc book bag in their folder everyday.  Thank you!!

·        Typing FUN!  Dance Mat Typing is a very child friendly, FREE, colorful, FUN typing tutor program available online that we have used.    Here is the link to cut & paste…  http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/levels/level1.shtml

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!!
