Today was our first full day of kindergarten and the class did very well. It is a long day, so please ensure your child gets enough rest.
If you have ordered hot lunch for your child, please also send a snack with your child daily.
This week we met our first alphafriend, Mimi Mouse, and are focusing on the letter m. Our sight word of the week is I.
The class had their first music class today and tomorrow we will have our first PE class. Students should come to school wearing their PE uniform.
Today your child took home their first homework packet of the year. Please return the completed packed every Friday in the folder. Students should complete two pages each night, and ten minutes of reading. It is not expected for your child to read on their own, but for you to read together. Any book your child is interested in is acceptable. You may read the same book more than once as well. The reading log is focused on building a habit and love of reading at an early age.
In your child’s folder is also a behavior chart. This week is a practice week while we get the hang of it. We will discuss the chart more at Back to School Night, September 5th at 6:30pm.
Also, please take a look through your child’s folder daily and remove the completed work. If you notice your child has another student’s work, please return it to the classroom in the morning. We are still working on mastering our mailbox system and may have a few mix ups.
Finally, please be sure that you are parking your car and walking up to the classroom at dismissal. Please do not drive through the car line.
