Dear Kindergarten Families,
Thank you for coming to the Harvest Hoedown! Nice to see many of my kindergarten families. It was an enjoyable evening.
Our Saint for month of October is Saint Therese of Lisieux.
We will be discussing several saints as we prepare for our yearly Saint’s Parade. Be thinking of whom your child will portray and let me know via email or by sending in a note.
This Friday is our field trip to Green Thumb Nursery and Albertson’s Grocery Store. Our child to adult ratio will be met with school staff. All field trips are for the enrichment of the lesson(s) taught in class. The cost of this three hour trip including the bus is $9.50. Please send in the signed school permission slip as well as the cost by Wednesday. Albertson’s has a release form coming home today.
Free Dress to support our mission efforts on Wednesday, Oct. 13 please bring in one dollar. Free dress guidelines are on page 49 of the school handbook found on our website. Look at the top ‘our school’ drop down box to ‘handbook’. Water sales continue on Tuesday and Thursday, your support is appreciated.
Our weekly academics will follow the usual schedule. This Friday is a full day of school, dismissal is at 2:45.
Thank you parents who have come in to help in class. The calendar is full for October. If you would like volunteer in class to earn service hours, please look for the November calendar coming soon. Please note: field trips are not an opportunity for service hours.
We will soon be sending home the October order booklets. Thereafter orders will be coming home every two months.
We are finishing Theme 1 in our reading series.
Sounding simple CVC (consonant–vowel-consonant) words will be the focus in our next theme. Sight words and word families are phonemic skills for early readers.
Continue to sort and make patterns in Chapter 2 of our math series.
Radishes are popping up in our garden! Growing vegeables will tie in with our trip to Green Thumb. Eating healthy foods will follow at the Albertson’s presentation.
Columbus Day will be the topic of our Social Studies lesson today.
God Bless your families,
Carol Brown
