September Homework

I am sure you have noticed your child brought home some large math work books.  These are optional.  We know at this age many kids love workbooks so we listed some pages in the work books that correlate to concepts taught in class.  These pages do not need to be turned in.

The first week of October we assessed on rhyming words.
If your child struggled on this assessment you can do some of the following:
Read Dr. Suess books and notice rhyming words.
Nursery rhymes
Name Game Song link
Rhyme time Song

September Info

Parents,

Thanks for a great first week of kindergarten.  This week we talked about our first five letters of the alphabet.  We learned that each of us is Special and important to our class.  We have explored lots of different math "toys" and began sorting. We did our hearing screening and went to an assembly.

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back to School
We are so excited to start our school year.  You should have already heard from your child's teacher to set up your kindergarten assessment time.  With that email you will have notice that our Back to School night is scheduled for Thursday Aug. 18th from 4:00 to 5:30.  The kindergarten teachers will be doing a presentation for all new kindergarten parents that evening from 4:30 to 5:00.  If you are unable to come please click on the link below to download the powerpoint presentation and you can watch it on your own.
Power Point Presentation

We also discussed the homework folder.  The folder will be sent home toward the end of September and we will post the link on the blog then.  The flashcards are posted below so your child can begin to practice their letters and sounds.  The word wall words and shapes will be needed at a later date.

May Info

Dance Festival Info

This year there has been a change to the dance festival schedule.  The school will be performing the entire dance festival on two separate days.  This will help with the crowds and hopefully make it easier for you to see your child(ren) perform.  The dance festival will be performed both on Wednesday, May 25 (last names beginning with A - J ) and again on Thursday, May 26^th. (last names beginning with K - Z).  This allows parents one day to see the performance.  Both performances will be in the morning.  Mr. Becker will send home a note with the specific times later in the month. 

Because of this change we will need to have a common start time for kindergarten on both days.  ALL kindergarteners will come to school at 9:15 a.m. on both Wednesday, May 25 and Thursday, May 26.  On the day you come to watch your kids perform you will need to check out your kindergartener with their teacher when you leave.  The remaining students will need to be picked up by 12:00 p.m. (noon).

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this schedule please talk to your child’s teacher as soon as possible.

Thank you!  We are excited to perform at the dance festival!
