Week of Sept. 12 - Sept. 16

* Students will be bringing their Book Buddy Bag home this week. Please look in the bag each night to see if there are any important notices. This week we will start a bit of homework. Each student will have a red duotang for homework. I would like everyone to practice printing their name each night. You will find the practice sheet in the red duotang. Homework is always sent home on Monday and collected on Friday. You do not have to send the homework back each day but I would like it if you kept the Book Buddy Bag in your child's bookbag, just in case I need to send home a notice. * I also sent home 2 Scholastic Book orders this week. Book orders are due Sept. 21st. Here are some of the benefits of ordering from Scholastic: 1. It gets your children excited about reading and helps improve their confidence in reading independently. 2. Teachers earn FREE books and learning materials for their classrooms with Bonus Coupons! 3. It helps you partner with your child's teacher to encourage reading in the classroom and at home. 4. It offers an amazing selection of hot new fiction, award winners and classic titles every month- at the best prices anywhere! 5. It provides reading levels and book descriptions to help you match books to your child's reading needs, interests and abilities. 6. Scholastic's 100% Satisfaction Guarantee ensures you will be happy with your purchases. If not, they offer a full refund. ** Don't forget about our Open House/Meet the Teacher on Tuesday, Sept. 13th. You are more than welcome to bring your child along as there will be a supervised movie for them in the gym. Parents will meet in the cafeteria.

Our first week

We survived our first week at school and it was a success!! Students are fitting into our new schedule very well. Just a reminder that if you see your child's information sheet sent home again, it is because not everything was filled out. I have highlighted the areas that have to be filled out. Thanks for your cooperation.

News

We had a great day today!! We got to play outside at recess, take a tour of the school, eat in the cateteria, and did some activities in class. A new bunch of students will come tomorrow and then we will have everyone back on Thursday. I know not everyone was present today, but an information sheet was sent home with your child. Please fill out the entire sheet as soon as possible and return it in the ziploc it was sent home in. Also there is a spot in the middle of the sheet where you have to check off 'yes' or 'no' to have your child's work or photo published either on the school website, newspaper, teacher page, or around the school. Those who were not at school today, the information sheet will be sent home tomorrow.

Welcome Back

I would like to welcome all my students to Kindergarten. We will have so much fun learning new and exciting things. Here are a few things to remember or that will be happening over the first couple of weeks of school: * We have a staggered entry again this year so please check the letter that was sent to you to see when your child starts. Half the class will start on Tuesday, Sept. 6th and the other half will start on Wed., Sept. 7th. Students can come right to the classroom. * Please remember to send in $25.00 with your child as soon as you can. This covers all the school supplies they will need for the whole school year. All parents have to purchase is a lunch bag, book bag, and 2 pairs of sneakers (1 for outdoors and 1 for indoors). * For those parents that will be picking their child up at the end of the day, we ask that you use the Frost Street entrance. You can wait on the playground until the duty teacher dismisses them at the door. Please wait for your child on the playground. * Sept. 13th - Meet the Teacher/Open House. All parents and students are encouraged to come. There will be a movie in the gym for students to watch while parents meet in the cafeteria. * Sept. 19th - No School * Sept. 20th - Picture Day * Sept. 22nd - Fundraiser Kick Off - each students will be given a package to take home. We are selling magazines again this year. It's a great fundraiser that promotes reading. Students can sell magazines to family and friends. * Sept. 28th - Terry Fox Walk - K-2 students will be walking at 12:30. * Sept. 30th - Grandparents Day Celebration for K-3. This will take place in the school gym at 9:00am.
