PARENT VOLUNTEERS

We will begin Centers on Monday, Oct. 7^th.  If you volunteered to help, thank you so very much!  We could not do it without you!  A more detailed note is attached to your child’s homework packet if you signed up to help.

NEWS

We have been learning sight words and know the following words: me, see, I, can, like.  Please ask your child to read these words to you.  It might be fun to put them on 3 x 5 index cards and use them as flash cards as well.  I will keep you updated with more sight words as we learn them so you can reinforce them at home.  Thank you for your support!

       The Iron County School District was given a grant through the state of Utah that allows all Kindergarten students to participate in a program called Waterford.  It is a literacy based computer program that we will be participating in four days a week for twenty minutes a day.  It is a research-based program and the results are very beneficial!  Please remember the importance of having your child at school every day.

During SEP Week (Sept. 30-Oct. 4), we will not have individual appointments for Kindergarten students because of their assessments in August.  However, if there are concerns and you want to meet with me, I would love to do that!  You can e-mail or call me and let me know.  Remember that the students will still be dismissed early. Students will be dismissed every day at 10:50 for AM students and 2:30 for PM students.  PM students will attend from 12:30-2:30, EVEN ON EARLY OUT WEDNESDAYS—NOT THE USUAL TIME from 11:30-1:30. Extended Day students in Mrs. Hermansen’s class will stay until 2:30 as well.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
