Report Cards Next Week!

Report cards will go home next week (probably Tuesday), and parent/teacher interviews will be on Thursday, April 10 from 6:30-8:00, and on Friday, April 11 from 9:00-12:00. We will send a note with the report cards asking wether you plan to come on Thursday or Friday. New for this year, we will post a sign-up sheet outside our doors where you can sign up for a ten-minute time slot when you arrive (that way, if there is a big line-up outside one door you can sign up for a later time there, and go on and see a different teacher). We hope this will make the waits shorter, and will allow parents to see all the teachers that they are trying to see. We would love to see all of you out on parent/teacher days, to look through your child's work, to ask any questions that you have, and to work together to make this last term a positive one for both you and your child.

Kindergarten Homework:
*Practice tricky words and sounds (a few children know them all, but a lot only know about half).
*Read a book every night and do your homework writing.
*Finish homework duotang and game by Friday.
*Show and Tell on Friday.
*This week we will start working on a Knowing Our Neighbours project with a kindergarten class in Bristol Elementary School.
