It was such a delight to spend the week getting to know a new group of kinders! I am looking forward to a great new school year!
Kindergarten Open House
Hopefully you have already marked your calendar for our Kindergarten Open House this Thursday from 6pm to 8pm. Childcare will be provided in the building so that parents can come learn about kindergarten expectations and curriculum with limited distractions.
Curriculum
For the next couple weeks, we will continue to work on learning classroom expectations and the names of our classmates. We will also focus on foundational skills such as spelling and writing our first names with proper formation as well as letter and number identification and formation.
Ways to Help at Home
1. Read daily with your child. Point to each word as you read to model how to track the print.
2. Sit with your child to practice writing his/her name 1 time each day. Use a capital for the first letter and lowercase for the rest. Also stress proper form by verbalizing strokes. For example, if writing capital A, you might say slide down, slide down, stick across.
3. Use flashcards to practice 5 letters at a time until mastered, then add on.
4. Watch letter videos on google. Here are few of my favorites: Preschool Prep Phonics Song Fundations A-Z Letter Practice Alphardy
General Information
Lunch is from 10:50am - 11:20am. Parents are always welcome to join their children for lunch!
Please note that the lunch schedule changes on early release days.
Food from other vendors cannot be brought into the cafeteria.
We are on a six day rotation schedules for Special Area Classes.

Please be sure to keep an extra change of clothing in your child's backpack (including socks and undies). You never know when they might need them (accidents, spills, falls, getting sick, etc.).
