Literacy Idea

     After you have read a story to your child, have him/her retell it to you with a beginning, middle and end.


News
         The Kite Flight for Reading and Sight will be held at the Middle School from 10:00-3:00  on Saturday, April 29th.  All students who turn in their completed reading chart will be able to choose a kite, book, or movie pass.  Let’s help South Elementary get a check for the most participants and our Kindergarten classes a pizza party for the most participants.
          Remember our End of Year Kindergarten program will be held on Friday, May 19th at 10:30 AM. This will be for ALL kindergarten students!  We will combine both morning and afternoon classes!  If your student attends Extended Day Kindergarten, they will not have class in the afternoon on that day.  If your student is in Mrs. Ekker’s PM class, they will come in the morning that day and will not have class in the afternoon.  School begins at 8:50. At the conclusion of the program, parents are welcome to take their students home for the remainder of the day. Please mark this day on your calendars and let grandparents know about it as well.  We will have the students dress in dresses or skirts for the girls and dress pants for the boys.
         THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!

News
          It is exciting to see the progress of the students!  I sure love each one of them and appreciate your support at home.  We will continue to learn skills pertinent to their success for the rest of the school year and will review skills already learned.
          
         Our DIBELS and KinderGrader assessments will be administered in the next two weeks.  It will be fun to see the growth each student has made.  Thank you for making school a priority!
          
         We also look forward to presenting our End Of Year program to you!  I will put more information again about this in the near future.  THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!!
