NEWS

Our first week of centers went well!  THANK YOU to those parents and grandparents who are helping!  We will only have centers on Monday of this week and then go back to our regular schedule when we come back from our Fall Recess/Harvest Holiday on Tuesday, Oct. 22^nd.

We have worked hard on the letters A – N and will continue with O and P for our short week this week.  Your child should be able to correctly identify and write upper and lower case of each of these letters and tell you the sound each one makes.  The sight words we have learned are:  me, see, I, can, like, look, here, the.  We are learning a lot about numbers and number words and have just about mastered writing our names the kindergarten way—with a capital at the beginning of our name and all the rest lower case!  The students are amazing artists and are writing beautiful sentences with a capital, spaces in between words and ending with a period.

It is a school policy that Halloween costumes are not worn at school.  Have a wonderful week!  Thanks for your support!
