Dear Kindergarten families,
I hope everyone is doing well! I appreciate everyone signing and returning 3rd trimester’s Progress Reports. Please email me if you have any questions or would like to set up a meeting.
For Earth Day, we learned how we can all do our part by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. Ask your child to see their “new” crayon!
During May, we will be learning about life cycles in animals and plants. Please feel free to send in a small plant for our Kinder Garden (the raised planter box outside our classroom).
Mandatory Parent Meeting, Wednesday, May 3rd
This Wednesday, 5/3, is the Mandatory Parent Meeting for parents K-8 in the Hall. The meeting begins at 6:30pm so please make sure to send one parent or family member to attend (limited seating). There will be no daycare, so please leave children at home. There is a $50 fine for non-attendance. Please arrive on time to sign in.
Muffins with Mom on Friday, May 5th
This Friday, 5/5, we enjoy Muffins with Mom as an early Mothers’ Day Celebration. We will proceed to the hall after 8am Mass, where the mothers pick up muffins with their children after the 8 a.m. mass. After Muffins with Mom, students must go back to their classrooms with their teacher. Dads are asked to help volunteer and serve. Claudia Guzman and Francisca Gonzalez are our Hospitality PLC Chairs. Please respond to their requests and sign up to volunteer for this event.
3rd Trimester Expectations
We are down to our last trimester! Here are some of the expectations that I am looking out for:
- All kindergarteners should know how to write their FIRST NAME starting with an uppercase letter and followed by lower case letters.
- Kindergarteners should use an uppercase/capital letter at the beginning of EVERY sentence and have spacing between words.
- Correct punctuations or end marks (period, exclamation point, or question mark) should be used at the end of EVERY sentence.
- Kindergarteners should be able to read weekly sight words (see curriculum map or list in green folder).
- Kindergarteners should be able to write neatly and form letters and numbers (1-20) correctly.
- All kindergarteners must know the Sign of the Cross, Hail Mary, and Prayer before Meal and Guardian Angel Prayer.
- All kindergarteners must follow classroom rules and school Tribes agreements.
- All kindergarteners should complete Seesaw assignments and monthly take-home packets.
- All students should turn in their own green homework folders in the morning independently.
