Dear Kinder Families,
Happy 7th week of Kindergarten! Thank you for all the prayers for my family this weekend, it was very much appreciated and I am so thankful for your blessings! This week, we finished Module 3 in our math books and will be moving on to Module 4! It has been such a pleasure being their teacher and I look forward to these next few months filled with learning and celebrating the holiday season with them!
This week is a 12:00pm noon dismissal for the whole school for parent teacher conferences, there is day care after school until 6pm if needed! Please carefully read below to avoid questions that can be answered in this email. If you miss a weekly newsletter, you can always check out my class blog at http://www.stanthonygardena.org/kindergarten/ !
Parent-Teacher Conferences this week!
Parent Teacher Conferences will be this week Monday – Friday during your selected time slots. This is the halfway mark of the first trimester! I will be sharing your child’s progress report and their Window 1 STAR ELA scores. (Kindergarten does not take Math!) Please keep in mind that each family has an only 15 minute conference! Children are welcomed to join our conferences 🙂
CA Science Center Field Trip – October 24
I am so excited for our 1st field trip of the year! Kindergarten and 1st grade will be going together to the CA Science Center on Thursday, Oct 24th. Please ensure to complete your invoices in the office with Mr. Aguilar, you do not need to send in money to me– just their permission forms!

Please be sure costumes meet all guidelines. They must be appropriate and pre-approved, or a student may be sent home to change. Please let me know what your child is wearing by via by October 25th. You can add it on the link below!
