Week of August 12th

       Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten!  I just wanted to remind everyone that after school if you pick your student up and arrive after 3:20-3:25, we will be back in our classroom, or after 4:30 will be in room 312.  Wednesdays are very tricky days because lunch starts at 11:15 for after school but dismissal is at 11:30.  We will only wait until about 11:35-11:40 before we head into lunch.

We will be taking as many field trips as possible this year!  For field trips we all like to wear the same color shirts so that we can easily identify our class when we are off campus.  Please make sure that your student has a red collared shirt or a red LPA shirt for these special trips.

This week our first homework will go home today, Monday, and is due on Friday.  We are working on writing our name the “kindergarten way.”  This means that only the first letter of their name is capitalized.  Please have your student trace their name and then write it by themselves on the same line.  We will also be working on the letter L and the sound that it makes. 

Also please count with your student every night.  Our goal is to count to 25 without skipping any numbers.

Our first school fundraiser has officially started!  Each student will have the opportunity to sell these books, but if you could please pick the books up in the classroom that would be very helpful.  We have had issues in the past with backpacks mysteriously opening and the books never get home, so we are going to try and new way this year and see if it works.  Good luck and good selling!
