Red Take Home Folders:
Your child should be placing his/her Take Home Folder in the red basket every morning before they go to the playground. Anything for me, sight word cards/signed forms/etc, can be put in the red folders and placed in the red basket before school. If your child finishes their homework early, I will leave it in their red folder until Friday.
Jog-a-thon:
Jog-a-thon information will be in your child's take home folder on Monday. All the money raised will go DIRECTLY TO OUR CLASSROOM. This helps me buy supplies (construction paper, glue, books, crayons, etc) for the remainder of the year.
Any donations are GREATLY appreciated!!
Cash and checks can be turned in on or before Sept. 8th.
I will need a few parent volunteers that day, some bottles of water (24), and some popsicles donated for the day. Let me know if you can help me with any of those things by messaging me on remind.
*We do not have incentive prizes in Kindergarten. It's just a fun activity to earn money for our class!
PTSA:
In your child's Take Home Folder on Monday you will find information and an envelope for you and your family to join PTSA. Lets will the pizza contest by having the most memberships!
Emergency Release Card:
I MUST HAVE THESE ASAP
This can be found by accessing Parent Portal. Please print it out and send it in your child's Take Home Folder ASAP. If you need help accessing Parent Portal, they can help you in the office anytime between 7 and 4.
Sight Words:
Don't forget that practicing Sight Words is a part of your child's homework. Each child has a baggie with his/her name and green flashcards. Please help your child learn these words at a pace that is appropriate for them. I will be teach the words I and see next week but many students are ready for more than just 2 words a week. When your child knows all the words, have them return them to me in their Take Home Folder for a quick test. I'm looking to see that your child is NOT sounding out the word, but recognizing it quickly. They will receive a Brag Tag and then move onto the next list. Students who pass all 8 sight words lists will receive a prize!
Solar Eclipse:
I will NOT be taking the students out to view the eclipse on Monday due to their young age. Homework:
