Hello Rainbows!   Thank you SO MUCH for all of the books I have received from my wish list bin at the Book Fair!  The stories are sweet and/or funny, and the kids are loving it. They also love when I point out that I write their names in the inside cover, and that they're leaving a legacy for future classes.  I did receive a couple of books with no names in them!  If you purchased When You Dream Big! or Rubble: 5-Minute Phonics please let me know so I can express my gratitude.


Pink & Brown Kindergarten Dress-Up Day

  If your child wants to participate, they can wear pink, brown or both on Wednesday the 25th!


i-Ready Scores (trimester 2)

  We know that i-Ready scores were shared with families last week. Our Kindergarten team had technological issues with the second implementation of the diagnostic test, due to an Apple update, which skewed results and led to inaccuracies in our data. We place a heavy emphasis on our in-class one-on-one assessments along with our weekly formative assessments to directly inform our instruction.  Please refer to the report card and progress reports sent home recently, and let me know if you have any questions. 


Celebrate Reading

March is Read Across America month! To make reading even more fun for our students, we have a lineup of special theme days. Check out the schedule below and help your little Rainbow join the fun:


Dance Practice

    The Starstruck company will start visiting our school this week!  We will learn our class dance a few parts at at time over the course of the next 5 weeks.  Please try your best to have your child on time and at school on Fridays, as our practice is first thing in the morning on those days.  You will get an order form this week to buy the edited song if you want (for your child to practice at home).  Closer to the dance show I will let you know specifics of the evening show and costume, etc. 

*Evening Performance: May 4th

Open House  (April 30th)

  Save the date!  Our school and our classroom will be on display in the evening of April 30th. All are welcome to walk through and see some of the amazing work your Kindergartener has been working on this year! 

 

Have a colorful week!
