Week of April 10th

Welcome to another wonderful week in kindergarten! I hope that everyone had a fun and restful weekend and that we are ready to go until the end of the year.
This week we are starting our restaurant unit and learning about vowels who say their name. We have learned all the letters of the alphabet and their sounds and your student should know all of these. Concentrate on u, y and w because students often confuse these. If your student is struggling please reinforce at home. We have also been doing lots of reading and have been working on sounding out lots of different words. Homework went out last Thursday so that you had some extra time to work on it. We are making a menu for a restaurant! We will hang these around the room to decorate and show off.
Over the week of AIMS we will be taking two field trips. This can be a very long week for our little guys because we have to sit quietly in our room all day, so we are getting out for the day on Tuesday, April, 17th and Thursday, April 19th. If you have not turned in your permission slips please do so ASAP!
This week we have Duds for Dollars on Wednesday, April 11th. Please remember that even though this is a dress down day your student still needs to wear closed toed, closed heel, shoes. This Duds for Dollars is to help us raise money for the Thumbs Up program. Can’t wait to see my styling students.
If you have not already marked your calendar please be sure to get Friday, May 18th off to come to our kindergarten graduation! This is something that our class works very hard on and is very important! This is a very special day so please feel free to take your student for the day and do a special lunch or family activity. We try to start the program at 9:00am and you need to drop your student off early, around 8:00 that morning, to get ready. If you have any questions please see me.
Glow Ball is also this week, on Friday the 13th, and will be so much fun! Mother/Daughter event fliers will be coming home today.
I'm looking forward to another great week!
