Early Literacy Idea

Continue to practice comprehension skills with your children.  This is a very vital part of their literacy skills.  Have your child retell the important parts of the story.  Ask them what happened in the beginning, middle and ending of the story.

NEWS

If your child will not be attending South Elementary next year and you have not contacted Mrs. Smith, our secretary, please do so as soon as possible. The new class lists for next year are being compiled and we need an accurate count.  Thank you!

All regular library books should now be returned to the school. Remember that the last day for the take home library books to be returned is on Thursday, May 9^th. 

Our class will be doing our kindergarten program on Wednesday, May 22^nd.  Please mark your calendars now for this important event!  Please have your child wear church clothes for our performances, which will be held in the school gym at 10:00 AM for morning students, and 12:30 PM for afternoon students.

The last day of school is Friday, May 24^th.  All students get to meet their first grade teacher for next year on this day.  In order for this to happen, we need all students to attend the morning session of kindergarten (including those who normally attend the PM class).  We will meet from 8:50-10:50 for that day.  Extended day kindergarten will not be held on the last day of school.

Thank you again for your continued support.  Please feel free to call or e-mail me any time with questions or concerns.
