WHAT A BUSY WEEK...

We have had so much fun learning the rules and routines of kindergarten. We worked on writing our names with only the first letter capitalized, followed by all the other letters lower case.  It is important that you continue to practice this at home; it is a hard habit to break!  In math, we started to work on developing number sense. We built sets of objects, practiced counting to 50 (100 is our goal for the end of the year) and counted backwards from 10 to 1(counting back from 20 to 1 is the goal for the end of the year.) In science, we learned what a scientist is and does and in social studies, we read stories that helped us understand that everyone is the same, yet different and we are all special and unique.

PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL to YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER...

If you have not already confirmed your email address with your child's teacher, please do so ASAP so you don't miss out on any important information.  You may add any other email addresses if you would like us to send class information and updates to additional family members. In the email, please include one word to describe your child's week. Thank you for your help!

GREEN FOLDERS...

• Students have been taking home green "Take Home" folders every day. Please be sure to empty the folder daily and go over any work with your child, especially if there is something that they had difficulty with. 

• Students have a calendar stapled in their folders.  Your child will get a stamp everyday for making good choices - the color of the stamp does not matter. If your child had a difficult day, we will write in his/her folder to let you know. It is important for you to discuss this with your child. There is no need for you to initial the behavior sheet daily, unless it was written in.  

• If you need to send in any notes to the teacher, please put them in your child's folder and let your child know that they're in there and that he/she needs to give it to his/her teacher.

BREAKFAST & LUNCH CODES...

Each child is assigned a code that they will use to get breakfast and/or lunch from the cafeteria. Last week, we sent home a small paper with a picture of a keypad on it along with your child's lunch code written on top.  Please help your child memorize this number; it will help expedite the line, allowing students more time to enjoy their lunch.  It would also be helpful if you and your child look at the lunch menu ahead of time, so s/he can make a choice quickly. 

SNACK...

Our lunchtime is at 10:30, therefore, you may want to send in one HEALTHY, NUT-FREE and utensil - free snack from home for your child to have in the afternoon. Please do not send in any juice boxes or other drinks, besides water. Due to allergies and other health concerns, we will not be allowed to provide any snacks or allow the students to share snacks. Sending in a snack is completely optional, however students get very sad if they don't have one. If you are sending a snack, please pack it separately from their lunchboxes so it doesn't "accidentally" get eaten at lunchtime!  This may have happened quite a few times this week! Thank you for your cooperation.
