Kindergarten News

Dear Kindergarten Families,

Kindergarteners had a great week of learning and fun! In Writing, writers have been learning that they put what they love onto the page. They have been learning new letter sounds and letter formation from Mabel in phonics. In math, they have been introduced to the 10 frame, and they continue to work on their math vocabulary. In Spanish, they continue practicing private, partner reading, and they will be studying the national and patriotic symbols.


In addition, at ourPrimary Open House "Tiger Experience" on Wednesday, September 11th, parents and guardians will have the opportunity to learn about their child's daily learning and experiences. Our goal is to foster strong partnerships between home and school. We are aiming for 100% attendance and look forward to seeing you there!


Please confirm whether you will attend the 4:00-4:45 p.m. or 5:00-5:45 p.m. session. Please note that this is for parents only! Click on the links for your homeroom to sign up.
