Dear Kindergarten Families,

I hope all mother’s enjoyed their special day!  Today we were surprised to see our big sunflower opened up to follow the sun.  Thank all of you for participating in our annual Jogathon event. We had lots of fun!

Now for this week….

Progress Reports were due Monday -most all came in – if yours is at home please send in tomorrow with your signature at the bottom of the page.

Thursday,  Music over Manhattan, a program from the Discovery Center will be presented for science. Please send in $8.00 asap. Your child did a little decorating on the payment envelope – ask if you have not seen it.

Friday morning we will attend Mass at 8:30 – after we will stay in our pews to say the Rosary. Kindergarten students may bring a rosary.  I do have a class set of rosaries if your child needs to borrow one.

On Friday around 11:30 the In-N-Out truck will be here – K  kids will be ushered out first. Parents- look for your preordered tickets outside the script office. Then find your child in line. Primary grades are eating on the grass in front of Biedermann Hall. It might be nice to spread out a blanket to picnic on! Dippin Dot dessert will follow-there will be 4 flavor choices for students/parents who preordered.

Academics:

Sacraments and Worship standards find us praying Lord’s prayer and Hail Mary. Practice with your child at home. We will be listening to our Children’s Bible; having discussions and making connections from parables Jesus taught.

ELA – review letter/sound Ww and Yy, correct formation; sentence structure, rhyming (many students still  STRUGGLE with RHYMING) practice as you read with your child. Reading focus:  evaluate; predict/infer; and using phonics to break down words. Comprehension strategy: sequence of events and story components.

EM – counting by 2s, 5s and 10s;  from the roll of the two dice determine highest double digit number (example: is 37 higher than 73); addition and subtraction skills with numbers to 20.

Social Studies- our National Symbols and answering the many questions “what is Memorial Day?”

Science: Our national resources and understanding music the sound of vibration.

Full day on Friday- come have lunch with your child – – after the bell please say your good-byes so we may finish out the day – dismissal at 2:45-

Blessings,
