NEWS

Thank you for the fun Valentine gifts!  I appreciate you thinking of me.

We have had a great time learning aout patriotism, American Symbols and Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

      

     We have learned over twenty-five kindergarten sight words and will continue to learn more and more.  As part of the assessment, students are required to read at least twenty-five of these high frequency words.  If you would like an additional copy of the words we have learned, I would be happy to get one to you.  Please just let me know. 

SEP Week is coming up the first week in March.  I look forward to meeting with each of you to discuss the progress of your child.  It is amazing to see what each one can do!  Reading at home and helping with homework makes such a big difference.  Please continue to read daily with your child and send the take-home library books back and forth from school to home on a daily basis.  You are a wonderful support to your precious kindergartner!  Once again, please know that I enjoy teaching your child and seeing the growth he/she is making.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions ro concerns!
