Our COOKIE FUNDRAISER is still happening! I have given every student a goal to try to sell at least two boxes of cookies/dough. We use the fundraiser to provide for our own kindergarten expenses like promotion celebration, field trips, and more. Last year kindergarten students raised so much money that we were able to cover all expenses for our field trip and graduation costs. Please help by selling to family members, coworkers, and neighbors. When we sell and raise $$$ your child wins!!! Your help is much appreciated. Thank you to those students and families that have signed up and have sold cookies/items.

     This week we will begin working hard to learn sight words and begin cvc word reading, practice letter/sound knowledge, and work on sentence writing. It is important tha your child spend time reading letters, words, practice identifying letters and sounds, and read small books that come home each evening. Please be aware of the 10 minute reading routine on your child's AVID homework agenda and the skill practice required for your child to be a successful reader and write. Practice is an important component for success.

     There may be days throughout the school year that will require a substitute to be in the classroom in place of Mrs. Haile, your child's classroom teacher. Please note that your child must remain on good behavior and work to follow classroom/school rules. Volunteers should only volunteer when Mrs. Haile is in the classroom. The ClassDojo texting system may not be in use on substitute days and all inquiries, questions and concerns should be directed to the office at 928-502-8000.
