Dear Kinder-Parent,
We will kick off this morning with Mrs. Billups’ annual Fat Tuesday Pancake Breakfast! Tomorrow, please be sure to bring children to school at 7:45 a.m., as we will head to the church for Ash Wednesday 8 a.m. mass.
I want you all to know that I received several compliments on the behavior of your children last week during the many observations our WASC committee made. I was very proud of the students and their dedication to participate and be good listeners. It only validated how truly fantastic your Kindergartners are.
This week in curriculum, we will be continuing to learn to graph and we will be introduced to short o words (i.e. hop, dog, sock). Encourage your student to spell out loud simple 3 letter short o words. Our spelling words are mop, map, have and up. On Friday, we will conclude our week with an introduction to addition.
Our Show and Tell presenters on Friday will be Abby, Tino Seth and Brenda. Please remember to practice addresses at home; There will be a test on Friday, March 6th.
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Mrs. McGee

Week of February 16th
Dear Kinder-Parent,
I cannot begin to thank you all enough for making my birthday last week so special. Not only will I forever treasure the fabulous purse and key ring you gave me, but the kind words compiled by the Kindergartners melted my heart. I feel so blessed to be with your children every day, and this was so special to me. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
We have no school on Friday, so homework will be due on Thursday this week. We will be learning about the letter L and continuing to practice tally marks. Students are beginning to make and read graphs. We will discuss Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, Dental Health Month and George Washington.
We will take a spelling test on Thursday. Our spelling words are one, go, blue and fan. Our new popcorn words are “one” and “what.”
There will be no Show and Tell this week. Have a beautiful four-day weekend!
Love,
Mrs. McGee

Week of February 9th
Dear Kinder-Parent,
This Friday, Kindergarten will be celebrating Valentine’s Day. Kinders may distribute valentines to the class, but please be sure NOT to write any names on them. They may write whom they are from, but please do not include who they are to. This will save us a lot of time distributing them!
This week in curriculum, we will be introduced to tally marks and graphs. Our letter of the week is D, and we will continue to learn about Abe Lincoln. We will discuss Thomas Edison, as well as celebrate the 100th day of school! We will attend mass on Wednesday and Friday we will conclude our week with Gateway to Art.
Your children have been so generous with Pennies for Patients. Our room alone has raised $100! I am so touched by their devotion to give.
Students are running very low on glue sticks. I ran out of my supply as well! If possible, please purchase your child a new glue stick.
Kindergarten will need to start learning their addresses. They will be tested on March 6th. Please begin practicing with them now.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love,
Mrs. McGee

Week of February 2nd
Dear Kinder-Parents,
Happy Groundhog Day! Today, the students will review their predictions made last Friday to see if Spring will arrive early. We will also be exploring shadows and learning what creates them, as well as matching the shadow with the correct object. Today we will be discussing animals that burrow in honor of Groundhog Day!
I am so proud of the incredible job Kindergarten did with the Martin Luther King Jr. presentation on Friday. They are wonderful performers and their hard work and dedication brought tears to my eyes!
February is an incredible month for learning. In February we celebrate National Dental Health Month, Valentines Day, Presidents Day, the 100th Day of School, and so much more! This week, we kick of February with the letter C and beginning to explore graphs and fractions. Our new popcorn words are “get” and “where.” On Wednesday, we will take a math test that concludes our chapter on number concepts.
We are also continuing our unit on community. This week, we will meet a police officer and a doctor! Our Show and Tell presenters on Friday will be Kailei, Giovanni, Ravan and Madison.
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Mrs. McGee
