Classroom Information

Welcome Kindergarten Families!

We are so excited to be starting a new Kindergarten year with your child at Fireside. In addition to what happens inside the classroom, an important part of each child's education comes from home. We understand that it is important for you to know what your child is learning and doing in Kindergarten, so you will hear from us regularly via a biweekly Kindergarten email newsletter, as well as information on our website. We also would like to know your concerns, questions, and needs. Please feel free to contact us at any time.

Here are some informative documents:

Homework

Take-Home Reading : Starting in November, students will take home a reading folder 1-2 times per week with activities to do at home. .

An optional "Know It, Show It" literacy workbook was sent home at fall conferences.

Optional math homework is available by request.

IXL Math and Kids A-Z Reading are always available at home. Select students have Lexia reading intervention lessons available online as well.

Volunteer information

Volunteers are welcome in our classroom, library, and work room. Please see Help at Schools. Tasks like Friday Folders are also available outside the classroom. If you wish to volunteer your time and energy, we will all benefit and be most grateful!
