January   22nd-26th

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

·        Progress Reports are going home this week.  If your child received a progress report, please sign the HIGHLIGHTED copy, and return it to school.  If you are receiving an “at-risk of retention” letter, please SIGN it and RETURN it to school.  Please do not hesitate if you have questions to email.  Thank you.

·        If your child does NOT receive a Progress Report, this means that s/he is performing ON or ABOVE grade level at this time.

Monday January 29th  ALL Kindergartners will come to school at 8:15 and go home at 11:35.  We are having a very special assembly that could only be in the morning. We didn’t want anyone to miss out so all students will be here for this special day at the same time. Thank you!!

·        Valentine’s Day is coming up!  We will be celebrating on the 14th with a fun party!  Please be on the lookout for a sign-up genius, showing which items we will need for the parties!

·        Speaking of Valentine’s Day…please send your child to school that day with enough valentines for each class member.( Check with your child’s teacher for the exact number.)  PLEASE have your child write “From _____” on each valentine.  We cannot help your child deliver valentines to specific friends.

·        Please have your child bring his/her valentines ON the day of our party, NOT before.  Thank you!

·        EXTRA WORK—Please be sure to check your child’s folder each day to review their center work for the day.  If you see anything UNfinished, please have your child take the time to sit and complete the job.  It does NOT need to be returned to school.  Thank you!  

·        Writing—Our writing job is the same all month!!!  We are STILL writing about the way people look.  Please have your child write at least two sentences about the way someone in your family looks. Please have your child complete 2 sentences per day, in their best handwriting, with proper spacing!!!!  Please help and encourage your child to listen for the sounds  when writing words.  Complete the work with very best handwriting, as this is a very important skill for Kindergarten.

We are also talking about rhyming words, listening to the ENDING sounds of words and our new word wall word is “saw.”  We know the following High Frequency Words: I, a, like, the, see, is, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, you, feel, we, look, are, & saw.  Please encourage your child to use these words in their writing every day!!!!

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!!
