Dear Kindergarten Families,
I hope everyone is well. Thank you for participating in a wonderful Catholic Schools Week. We are truly blessed! It is heartwarming to see our Kindergarten Friends and St. Anthony community come together.
Thank you for sharing in the week of appreciations! I truly appreciate all our families, especially all the well wishes as I have been home recovering from the flu bug.
Monday, Feb 5th– 100th day of school
This Monday, February 5th, we will be celebrating our 100th day of school! It’s a remarkable milestone and our Kindergarteners have grown so much, academically, spiritually and emotionally. I am so proud of our Kindergarten Friends!
To add a touch of whimsy to the celebration, I invite students to dress up as if they were 100 years old. This could include wigs, glasses, canes, and other creative accessories to showcase the spirit of a centenarian. Please keep in mind there is rain in the forecast.
Throughout the day, I have planned various fun activities to engage the students and celebrate their accomplishments in the first 100 days of school. These activities will not only be entertaining but will also provide valuable learning experiences for our children.
100th day of school project DUE ON MONDAY 2/5
As a kind reminder, the 100 item collection project is due on Monday. I look forward to the students sharing how they counted their items.
Progress Reports
Your child’s progress reports and STAR test results will be sent home this week. Please keep in mind that the progress report is just a snapshot of where your child is at right now. Final Grades will be given at the end of the 2nd trimester. Please sign a copy of the Progress Reports and return it via the green folder.
Class Spelling Bee on Wednesday, Feb 21st
Spelling word lists will also be sent out this week. Please take time to review these words with your child. We will have our Kindergarten class spelling bee on Feb 21st, I encourage all of the students to participate. The 2 spellers of our class spelling bee will be part our representative for the finals.,
