Dear Kindergarten Parents,
​
We had a wonderful week in Kindergarten! Transitions for arrival, centers, snack, and dismissal are going smoothly. I was able to open the dramatic play area (aka Ice Cream Shop). The children used ice cream scoops and numbered cones to match quantity and practice number identification. I am so proud of the children for following directions and trying their best.
​
The Gingerbread Man is Loose in the School was a great success! This book provided a walking tour of our school and gave the children a visual as to where they were going when the Specials classes began on Thursday. We Don’t Eat Our Classmates introduced us to nervous T Rex on her first day of school. Her struggles helped me emphasize our class motto: It is never too late to make a better choice! We also took time in the prayer center to share our special intentions. These intentions will change weekly and the children love sharing stories about who they are praying for. This week we prayed for someone special who lives in our house.
​
Treasure box was a huge WIN for the class as well. I am so happy so many were able to taste success and leave the school with a little more pep in their step. Some are just a few stars away!
​
Next Week: We start with our first Spotlight Sound! We will begin with the letter A. I will give more information about our letter box presentations at Back to School Night on Tuesday, September 9. Doors will open at 5:30 pm and the first session will begin at 6:00. If you have an additional child in grades Pre-K to 4 there will be a second session beginning at 7:00 so you can attend for both classes. I look forward to seeing you all and giving you more information about the upcoming school year.
​
Reminders: Please check your child’s folder each day for classwork or paperwork from the office. The children will wear their gym uniform to school on Thursdays. CARES begins on Monday and children staying for the CARES program will need a separate snack. Thank you!
We all made it through and are still smiling. Congratulations! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
