Kindergarten News for the week of October 14th - 18th


Please remember that there is no school for students on Monday-October 14th and Friday-October 18th. 

Tuesday will be day 4 on the rotation schedule.

We are not starting a new letter in phonics due to the short week!  We will review Ll, Oo, Gg, Hh and Tt, Pp and Aa.  Your child should recognize each letter and be able to give the sound for each letter.  Also, please practice the word lists as they come home each week with your child.

We will not start a new book in Reading.  Your child should know the words I, am, the, little, to, a, you and is.  We are also practicing counting syllables and rhyming.

Wednesday- October 16th is our kindergarten pajama party.

Thursday- October 17th will be our Kindergarten Fall Festival.  All parents or grandparents who have their clearances on file can help!  All activities will be outside on our football field if the weather permits!  The dress code does not need to be followed for the fall festival.  The children may wear gym clothes.  Please no shorts!  Children can dress down for this event---no jeans, please!  Sneakers are suggested.  We will have fall festival in the morning breaks for lunch and recess.  The kindergarten will have special partners for this event.  The reading buddies will accompany the kindergarten children so they make sure they do everything!

Please return Party money and fall festival money as soon as possible. 

I sent home t-shirts that were given to the children by our PTO.  Your child may wear this to school for gym class, spirit Fridays etc.  Please make sure your child has this t-shirt for our field trip in the spring! 

There will be a final planning meeting for the fall festival.  It will be held on Sunday- October 20th at 5:00 at the Mineshaft in Ashland. 

Picture retakes will be on November 1st.
