Kindergarten Newsletter
Week of January 20-23
Our Week:
We had a fun and successful week in class. We hope you enjoyed your reading and letter practice with your child. Remember to keep the book in the White Homework envelope all week and return on Friday. Please keep the letter practice and return the book. A new book will only be sent home at the beginning of the week, if you have returned the previous one. We want children to become fluent with these books and be able to read them at a steady and smooth pace.
Community Service Day:
Thank you all for your help with the delicious cookies that you sent to class. The children enjoyed decorating these for the Police Officers. We created a class poster thanking the officers for all of their hard work and dedication to the community. We walked from school to the Police Department on Fourth Street in Carmel, with the help of some Grade 8 students, middle school teachers, and parents. We were given an exciting tour of the Police department. We even got to go in a police vehicle with flashing lights.
Valentine’s Day:
Valentine’s Day is only a month away. Each child will need to bring in 23 cards for Kindergarten on Monday, February 9. You may make or purchase these cards. Please have your child only fill in the “From” portion of the card. Leaving off the “To” names helps make our delivery to mailboxes much more efficient. We also need each child to bring in a shoebox to decorate and turn into a Valentine mailbox. Please send these to school by February 2, so that we have time to paint and decorate these during our morning centers. If you would like to donate more than one, we would appreciate it. Thanks for your help with these projects.
Parent Conferences:
