Mrs. Wilcox's

WEEK IN A PEEK

Our Mass is this Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. Please be sure that your child wears their best uniform clothes that day and arrives by 7:30 a.m. If you plan to attend Mass please sit in the section to the far left nearest the Tabernacle. You can wait in the vestibule after Mass to see your child and congratulate them!

There is no school on Friday. Teachers will be on a Religious retreat. The spelling test will be on Thursday and homework and bags of books will be due as well.

Practice telling time at home.

If you attend Mass and would like your child to sit with you rather than the class, please be sure to scan the QR code in the vestibule to sign your child out before coming to get them. PLEASE BE SURE THAT I SEE AND AM AWARE THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR CHILD. This is the procedure for any school Mass.

As weather can be very unpredictable this time of year please remember that morning recess is at 9:20 a.m. and be aware of temperature at that time. Be sure that your child has the appropriate outwear to be comfortable playing outside at that time.

Reminders:

Please make sure to return your purple Home Folder EVERY day! Please take the time to go through papers with your children and help make corrections if necessary, then TAKE THE PAPERS OUT of the folder and keep them at home.

Please send a healthy snack for the afternoon each day

Wear tennis shoes on Mondays and Fridays each week.

Return library books on Tuesday each week if you have not already returned them.

PLEASE make sure that all clothing items, backpacks and lunch boxes are clearly labeled with your child's name!

Homework:

Each Monday homework will come home in your child's Home Folder. It will consist of a worksheet with word work to practice the spelling pattern on one side and math practice on the other. This homework is due on Fridays.

I will also be sending home bags of books for your child to read each Monday. They will be a range of reading levels close to your child's reading level. You keep the bag all week and read them throughout the week. Please spend some time listening to your child read and/or reading with them each night.

****Both the homework page and bags of books are returned to school on Friday. If you complete the homework early you are welcome to put it in your child's purple folder but I will not remove it until Friday.

Please read a minimum of 10 minutes each night. You may also supplement with books from home or log into MyOn or Raz-Kids using the login information on the Words and Goals sheet on the back of your purple folder.

Spelling

Please practice HFW and our spelling pattern. Both the Kindergarten HFW and the spelling patterns are listed on the Words and Goals sheet on the back of your child's purple Home Folder. This week's word pattern is words with ow, ou: how, cow, town, frown, ouch, proud, shout, found.

We do not give a specific spelling list to memorize. We want the students to learn the pattern and not just memorize a list of words. I will always provide some example words to help you practice at home though! HFW for this week are: color, happy, second, without.

REligion

Practice making the Sign of the Cross correctly. Prayers that will be assessed throughout the year include: Sign of the Cross, Hail Mary, Our Father and The Glory Be. Please practice these prayers at home and help your child memorize them.
