Our color is purple.  Please have the kids wear purple on Thursday if they have it!

In chapel this week our topic is Thankfulness.  Our memory verse is : We thank you, Our God, and praise you. 1 Chronicles 29:13.

As it is sad as it is we are closing in on the end of the school year.  Next week I will be sending home information on cap and gowns for graduation. Please return the form so that we know whether we need to order a cap and gown or whether you already have one. 

Please work with your child at home on writing their last names.  We have been talking a little bit about last names, but we will begin working on writing first and last names on our papers probably after spring break.

Newsletter February 16-19

Star Student this week is Delaney.

Letter: Ss
Number:16
sight word:see
Color: white
Memory Verse: Love God and love each other. 1 John 4:21

We will be in school on Monday.  This is a makeup day for a Monday we had a snow day on in November.

Monday-  We will spend Monday talking about Presidents Lincoln and Washington a little bit since it is President's Day.

Please continue to work with your child at home on both naming the teen numbers as well as telling you the numbers that make up that number in order (for example: 15 is a 1 and a 5. Not a 5 and a 1). 

We are going to begin working on writing our first and last names.  Most have their first names but we are going to fine tune those and begin working on writing last names.

We did not have Library today due to our Valentine party. We will have library next week as scheduled.

I was very happy with how the kids conducted themselves on Wednesday when I had to be out of the classroom.  I was told by the teacher that subbed for me, Mrs. Stephanie, as well as Mrs. Nicki how well the boys and girls in my class did in my absence.  I thanked them for that today at school and told them how proud I was of them for making good decisions in my absence.

Enrollment packets went out this week for next year.  If  you should have and did not receive one please let me know.

Newsletter February 9-13, 2015

Bryer is our star student this week! 

Our letter this week will be Oo. 

Our number this week is 15.  Please work with your child on recognizing numbers 10-15 this week.  We are having a lot of trouble with the teens.  For example instead of saying fourteen for 14 they some are saying a 1 and a 4.  Others are completely clueless.

Our color this week will be pink.  If they own something pink please have them wear it on Thursday.  I understand this can be very difficult for the boys.

Our sight word this week is on.

Our memory verse is  Hard work is worthwhile. As I am typing this I realized I forgot to see who knew the bible verse for this week.  I am extremely sorry!!  This week in chapel we will be learning about excellence.

Today I was able to retest everyone that was at school on their letters again. I will send each of you an email with how your child is doing with uppercase and lowercase recognition.  It is very important that they have this under their belt before I begin testing on what sound each letter makes after Spring break.  Kindergarten moves very quickly.  It is important to know all of this because by Christmas your child will be reading books.

Don't forget the kids and I will be having a Valentine's party in our room on Thursday.  If your child wishes to bring in Valentine's for his/her friends please do not address who the Valentine goes to only have them write their name as who it is from.  Don't forget to create a Valentine holder so that your child will have something to bring their Valentine's home in.  I can not wait to see what you create!

I sent home a homework calendar at the beginning of the week.  If your child completes all the tasks and you initial that they have done them they will receive a treat at the end of the month!  Again all homework is voluntary, but does help give them a great foundation for kindergarten!

Upcoming Events:

February 26- Our fieldtrip to Cmoe.  I know the kids are looking forward to this.  I am sure they would love for you to come and play and learn with them.

March 2-12- Turoni's Pizza Fundraiser
