Kindergarten News: September 19-23, 2011

Today we finished our week of learning the letter “O.” Students are really doing a great job with Show and Tell! Next week in Phonics we will be learning the letter “Gg” and its sound as in goat, golf, and good.

In Reading we will begin the story Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten. We will be discussing people in communities. Students will be learning letter recognition and how to classify and categorize. Please review your “Family Time” when it comes home on Monday for more details.

Anyone interested in helping with the Kindergarten Fall Festival is invited to a meeting in the NSE cafeteria at 2:00 on Wednesday, September 21st. The Fall Festival will be held on Thursday October 20th (no rain date.) The meeting MAY run until the end of the school day. Please send me a note or email if you would like to help but are unable to attend the meeting.

Please check your child’s folder daily and remove all “KEEP” items. It becomes difficult to handle the folders with too many papers inside (both for the students and teachers.)

Some students are having a very hard time cutting. Please save the coupons from the newspaper and have students practice cutting on the dotted line.

Please continue to have your child practice buttons!

The school store is now open. Kindergarten students may shop on a Monday morning before they come to homeroom. School store is optional but students may shop any Monday morning for the entire school year.

Next Friday students will attend a Pep Rally to celebrate homecoming!!! Please be sure to wear your red and blue and show your school spirit!

Next week in Art students will be painting. Please feel free to send in a spare T-Shirt for your child to cover up with during Art.

Monday will be Day 4 and we have Gym! Don’t forget your sneakers!

Thank you for your cooperation and support!
