We’re so excited for our Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, November 20, at O.C. Taylor from 11-12 PM! This beloved class tradition is an opportunity for our young students to come together, share what they’re thankful for, and enjoy a festive meal with friends.

To make this event extra special, we’d love your help! Please check out our [SignUpGenius link here] for ways to contribute—whether that’s:

 Bringing food items
Helping with decorations
Volunteering during the event

A few important notes:

• This is a class event (not PTA-sponsored).

• We’re asking for small financial contributions to help cover:

  • Decorations

  • Fun activities for the kids

  • And yes… Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets! 

If you have questions or would like to support in another way, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to work with you on alternate arrangements.

Thank you for helping us create a joyful, memory-filled day for our kinders. We’re so grateful for each of you!

 Below is the day your child's class will go to the library each week! Please make sure your child brings their book back the DAY BEFORE their library day. We always tell our students to keep their book in their backpack at all times (unless they are reading it) so it is always here at school when it's time for the library! 

Lind: Monday

Riski: Tuesday

Ortiz: Wednesday

Richardson: Thursday

NEW sight word cards for the 2nd 9 weeks have been placed in your child's reading book bag. Please make sure you have cut out the YELLOW sight word cards.  Also, make sure your child is practicing the letters and sounds they still need to master. 

Ideas to do after your child finishes their book:

-Find sight words in the book.

-Ask your child questions about the book.

-Retell the story in order.  

Don't forget to make sure your child brings their book bag to school EVERY DAY! 

This week's sight words are:

Dear Kindergarten Families,

My name is Bibi Yasmin Katsev, and along with Priscila Tamplain, I’ll be serving as your Kindergarten Grade Level Coordinator (GLC) this year.

As your GLCs, we’ll help coordinate several exciting activities throughout the school year, including:

• Birthday celebrations for our amazing Kindergarten teachers
  
  

• Lunchtime support
  
  

• Thanksgiving Feast*
  
  

• Winter Holiday Party
  
  

• Valentine’s Day Party
  
  

• Kindergarten Rodeo & Music Program
  
  

• End-of-Year Kindergarten Party*

*Please note: Events marked with an asterisk are not PTA-sponsored and will require financial contributions from families.

I occasionally send PTA-related emails throughout the year regarding information for these events.

If you would like to have your email(s) on my list, please complete this brief Google Form as OCT staff are no longer able to share any emails with Grade Level Coordinators. Please note that your emails will not be shared with anyone else other than myself.

We’re excited for a fun-filled, memorable year together. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Best,

Bibi Yasmin Katsev
