Kindergarten News

Next week in Phonics we will be learning the letter Gg and its sound as in goat. Please review the sounds and how to write the letters we have already learned. We will have Show & Tell for Gg on Friday please remember to send in your child’s show and tell object. It should be something that can easily fit into their backpacks.

Please check your child’s daily behavior chart. Your child should get a stamp each day for good listening and behavior. If your child does not receive a stamp I will write a short note to let you know why. I appreciate your support in reinforcing the need for good listening and behavior each school day.


We’ve have been working on Chapter 1: Sort and Classify in Math. We have been learning about positions such as over and under and left and right. Please review pages that come home each day. The Chapter 1 test will be coming up this week. We will then continue on with Chapter 2 : patterns.

We have already completed three weeks of school and many students are familiar with their bus numbers, however, we are asking that students continue to wear their bus tags or at least be sure to have them handy inside their backpacks. If your child has lost his/her bus tag then please write your child’s name, the teacher’s name, the bus number your child rides to and from school, and any other information you would like to include (address, phone #, child’s destination, etc…) on an index card or piece of paper and place it inside your child’s backpack. This will be very helpful for teachers on bus duty and for any substitute teachers or bus drivers. Thank you for your support!


Parents, please check folders daily and remove all “KEEP” items. It becomes difficult to handle folders with too many papers inside (both for the students and teachers). Please check each day for homework papers. Please help your child complete both sides of the paper unless otherwise stated or if one side is crossed out. Return homework in the return to school side of the folder. Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Have an Outstanding Weekend!
