We had a spooktacular day!
We started our day with a Halloween parade through our 4th grade buddy class. The kinders loved seeing their buddy all dressed up! We then went to music and P.E. The kiddos thought it was pretty fun playing games in their costumes! Our am class also went to library this morning for checkout time. Our pm class will have library on Monday. Finally, we ended our time together with a wonderful Halloween party! Thank you SO much to our parent helpers for planning our parties and to all the parents who helped out. You truly made their day (and mine)! :)
Important Information:
**Starting Monday, November 2nd: Please call the office to schedule your child's conference! 465-7800**
1. Homework folders are coming home on Monday (11/2). Please note that our building policy is to only give between 5-8 minutes of homework per day in kindergarten (that includes writing their sentence, three math problems, and reading their take home book). If you would like to give your child extra work, that's up to you. If you have questions regarding your child's homework and/or our homework policy, please email me.
2. Take Home Books are due Monday (11/2)!
Options for the Take Home Book Exchange:
1. If your child needs more practice with this book, return the book in the envelope so I can check off that you have that book.2. If the book was at an appropriate level of difficulty, but you are done with this book write on a sticky note: New Book
3. If your child could read this book in the first sitting without any errors (they knew every single word) write on a sticky note: New Level.
**If a book doesn't have a sticky note, it doesn't get exchanged, just checked off.
**If a book doesn't have a sticky note, it doesn't get exchanged, just checked off.
3. Please practice the flash cards you were given at Open House with your kiddo (sight words and numbers). Daily practice for just a few minutes is better than one big chunk at once.
4. Just a reminder that the PTO and school calendars are linked on the side of the blog. All upcoming events are posted there and is a great resource.
5. We will have a Veteran's Day Assembly. The kinders will be singing two songs at the assembly. The assembly is on Tuesday, November 10th, at either 10 a.m. with our primary students (AM-K, 1, 2, and 3) or at 2:00 p.m. with our intermediate students (PM-K, 4, 5, and 6). Click HERE for more information about the assembly. Kindergarten does not do a Thanksgiving or Christmas program. The only big production we do is in the spring.
6. Friday, November 6th and DURING CONFERENCE WEEK (NOVEMBER 19-25), GRADES 1-6 HAVE HALF DAYS; HOWEVER, THE KINDERGARTEN SCHEDULE DOES NOT CHANGE. AM KINDERS GO FROM 9:10-11:45am AND PM KINDERS GO FROM 12:45-3:20pm.
7. Start thinking about whether or not you can join us for our all-day field trip on Dec. 10th. We must have one adult for every two kinders or we cannot do the trip. For safety reasons, we cannot take siblings on the trip. Please find childcare for younger kiddos, if you plan on attending.
