Dear Kinder-Parent,
As we finally begin our first full week, be aware of weary Kindergartners! The transition can be tiresome, so it is important for children to get to bed before 8 p.m. I am very excited about our schedule this year. Our children are blessed to have some very special teachers working with them.
Thank you for your participation in our color days! This week, we will be introduced to the yellow color poem today, orange on Tuesday, black on Wednesday, and brown on Thursday. Please dress your child in any accessories that correlate with our color days. Also, be sure to ask them to recite the color poem of the day for you!
Please be sure to check your student’s homework folder every day. It is important that each day they return with their behavior calendars, as we fill them in every afternoon. Any work sent home in their folders is to be kept at home unless otherwise indicated. Please help to keep their things tidy and organized.
For handwriting practice this week, please have your child continue to make the lines/ shapes I have done for them across the line. These strokes will help them to learn about using the lines as guides and develop the appropriate strokes for good printing.
Show and Tell will be every Friday, for 4 selected students. This week’s presenters are Brenda, Morgan, Ifeoma and Dominic. Please pack them an item that can fit in their backpacks and is truly special to them.
Lastly, students reading packets will now be receiving a grade of 1-4. I will explain our rubric in detail next Monday (Back to School Night), but here is an outline for you to better understand.
4) Perfect / Mastery
3) Satisfactory / Proficient
2) Emergent
1) Standard not met
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Mrs. McGee

9/8/08 Homework Letter
Dear Kinder-Parent,
This week, Kindergarten will attend our first school mass on Thursday. Please be sure to send your child in his/ her school uniform rather than P.E. attire. We will only be having P.E. on Tuesday this week.
Homework has begun! These packets will go home with your student every Monday. You will not need to return the packet until Friday (Thursday this week, due to no school on Friday). I ask that every page is colored whenever possible. The directions may not call for coloring, but I encourage our children to develop those small motor skills any opportunity they get. On the page with their name written, I ask that Kindergartners practice writing their name once (or more if possible!) on each line. Please remind your child to use “monkey tails” and only one capital letter.
We have so many exciting things to learn this week! We will be discussing rhyme words and reciting nursery rhymes. We will continue to explore position words in our math packets. If you would like to practice with your child at home, our text has a fabulous web-site that has activities for your child to perform. Simply go to http://www.sadlier-oxford.com/math, and click on kindergarten, chapter 3.
Our book of the week is “Cat’s Colors,” and we will be reciting fun color poems. Each day we have a different featured color. I encourage you to dress your child in accessories for the color of the day (i.e. hair clips, ribbons, bracelets, etc.) Red will be on Tuesday, blue on Wednesday and green on Thursday. Please note that this is the only time where accessories will be OK.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions! My email is RNB1432@aol.com. My door is always open after hours and I am always happy to have a visitor!
Love,
Mrs. McGee
