Good Afternoon Parents,
Thank you to all those who helped with the kinder and 7th grade bake sale yesterday. It was also wonderful to celebrate Mass with so many of our school families. If your child received a free dress pass, please try to avoid using it on Wednesday, due to PE class.
This Thursday is picture day! Students must wear their Mass uniform, including the white collared shirt, tie, and vest or sweater. Kindergarten will be taking pictures first thing in the morning, so please be on time.
This week we are focusing on the letter A and sight word the. In math, we will be using counters to show different ways to make 5. If you do not have math counters at home, you may use coins, buttons, beans, ect. We will be adding labels and details to our picture stories in writing. We began our five senses unit today. In Religion, we wrapped up learning the story of Joseph the Dreamer and will focus on praying the Sign of the Cross.
Please continue to practice the Alphafriends song at home. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=alphafriends+songAlso, the Andy Apple song for this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSbWdftLMbs
Please save the date, September 26th, for our Kindergarten Social at 6:00pm. It will be a great time to meet other families and our room parents. Students and their siblings are encouraged to attend. Snacks will be served on the brown benches outside of the classroom!
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held during the week of October 7-11th. School will be dismissed at 12:00pm for the week. If you did not sign up for a conference during Back to School Night, please contact me with the day you’d like to meet. Please note I will be attending a kindergarten teacher’s conference on Friday, October 11th, so I will not be able to have conferences on that day.
Throughout the year we will be exploring STEM activities. We are in need of empty cardboard paper towel and toilet paper rolls. It would be greatly appreciated if you could collect a few at home and bring them in by Friday.
Finally, I will be submitting the Scholastic book orders on Wednesday, September 18th. Please use our class code: QLQYH or follow this link to our class page: chttps://orders.scholastic.com/QLQYH
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Ms. Strohm
