Kindergarten Newsletter September 11-15 2017

Kindergarten Newsletter
September 11th – 15th   
We have a big favor to ask…if you are the last one out through the gate after the school day starts, will you please CLOSE the gate behind you? Thank you!
Here’s what’s coming up for next week…
·        Our theme next week is APPLES and America. Our new word wall word is “is.” NOW, we know the following High Frequency Words: I, see, a, like, & the.
·        Parent volunteers have started!!!!  If you have signed up to come in to volunteer for center time, THANK YOU!  Please check in with the office and get your volunteer badge, and come in through our back doors!  Thank you!!!!!!
·        Constitution Day is on Friday, September 15th. There will be special centers that day. If you’re available to come in and help, please let your teacher know.
·        All of Kindergarten will be having our annual Apple Day Festival on Friday, September 22nd.  This is a fun day where each class travels from 401 to 402, then outside, doing different fun apple activities.  There will be two sessions, one in the a.m and one in the p.m, and it will take place during our center time.  We will need parent volunteers to help us run and manage the centers.  If youre available to come in, please let your teacher know.  Thank you!
     Writing—We have already jumped right into writing every day!  We are expecting your child to know the words “I, see, the & like.”  Please encourage them to write those every day.  You can even start writing simple sentences such as, “I like ____.”   “ I see a _____.” Or “The _____ is _____.” You can stretch out the sounds of the unfamiliar word or draw a picture.  Daily writing practice helps tremendously!
·        LIBRARY has started!!!  We want to clarify any confusion about library books.  The kids get to “keep” their library books for the whole week.  We just ask that you send them back by the following week so that we can return them to the library and be ready for the next check out!  Your child is never expected to return a library book on their own!!  There will be a library return bucket outside each kindergarten classroom so the kids can return their library books whenever they are done with them!
·        PICTURE DAY is on Friday, September 22nd. Order forms will be sent home before then. Pictures may also be ordered online at Lifetouch.
·        END of SUMMER BEACH PARTY is on Friday, September 29th from 2:30-5:30 pm on the blacktop (back of school).  There will be game booths, food, and music.

Please be on the lookout Monday for t-shirt order forms. These will be be our Kindergarten class t-shirts!  Thank you Geraldine Wong for organizing this!

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 your child’s teacher with any concerns or questions!  Please do not hit reply to this email.
Thank you!!
