Kindergarten is Fun!

We are continuing to learn our Jolly Phonics sounds. Each night (4 days a week), students will bring home their sounds duotang and book. Please just take a couple of minutes each night and have your child tell you the sounds in the books (both using the picture clue in the duotang, and using just the letter in the half scribbler). This is also a good time to review the names of the letters as well.

 

This week we are also practicing safety procedures in our school. By the end of the week we will have practiced a Fire Drill, Lockdown Drill and Evacuation Drill, so don't be surprised if the students come home with lots of stories.

 

Upcoming Events:

*Wear the color on the calendar each day this month.

*Terry Fox Run at school on Friday, Sept. 23rd. If you have paid your $20 student fee, this includes a dollar for the Terry Fox run. If you would like to send more you may, but you certainly don't have to.

*Happy Birthday to Connor on Saturday, Sept. 24th.

*Show and Tell on Thursday, Sept. 29th at 1:20pm.

*Assembly on Sept. 30th at 1:20pm (our class will be performing a couple of poems) and wear Blue and Gold (the whole school).

We had a great first day of kindergarten!

 

 

We had lots of fun on our first day of kindergarten! It looks like it's going to be a great year!

 

We are lucky this fall to have Miss Ells doing her student teaching with us, and we also have Mrs. Brown as an EA in our room most of the day.

 

 

I know there was a lot of information that came home in the Agenda's today. Please fill out anything that requires it and send it back to school as soon as you can, and the rest is yours to keep at home to peruse at your leisure. Also, please don't forget to send the $20 student fee as soon as you can.

 

 

The students made out well today changing their shoes (although some really didn't want to leave their indoor shoes here when they went home) and eating in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is open, but I would really recommend waiting at least a month before you let your kindergarten child buy lunch. We have a limited time to eat, and if they spend half of the time in the line-up, then they really feel rushed.
