Hello Families!
We had another exciting week in Kindergarten.  We wrote and shared stories during Writing Workshop.  Students did a fantastic job decorating the heart for their writing folder!  During Reading Workshop, we read and talked about stories.  Students practiced turning and talking with their reading buddy.  Whole Body Listening Larry - (a paper puppet) visited our classroom and explained that good listeners listen with their ears, eyes, hands, feet, brain and heart!  We continued to practice Kindergarten routines and procedures so that we can create a happy and safe learning environment.

 Just some friendly reminders:

·         Full day Kindergarten begins on Monday!

·         If you haven’t already, send in an Art Smock. ** We have Art on MondayJ please clearly write your child’s name on the front

·         Send in a change of clothes and socks in a Ziploc bag.  These are for playground accidents (like splashing in puddles) not just bathroom accidentsJ

·         If your child finished his writing workshop heart please send it back to school!

·         Please pack two nutritious snacks outside of your child’s lunch box each day.  Sometimes they are unsure of what to eat during snack, and start eating their sandwich instead of a small snack.

·         Picture day is Wednesday, September 12th.  Please send in picture forms/money.

·         If you haven’t already, please send in $7.00 for “Let’s Find Out.”

·         Open House is Thursday, September 27th from 8:10-8:40.
