Dear Families,
This week in kindergarten we reviewed a lot of different kindergarten concepts that we have introduced earlier in the school year. We revisited phonics and blending sounds to create CVC words. Practiced basic math skills and patterns including simple addition and subtraction. Your scholars also prepared for 1st grade by going over key social skills like saying “I feel…” messages to express themselves to their classmates and making sure they raise their hands when they want to share aloud. As the school year comes to a close I want to ensure that your scholars are totally prepared for their adventures in 1st grade! If there are any concepts that your student is still struggling with at home please make sure to let me know if they need any additional resources so we can work as a team to make sure they are successful. Our walking field trip is next Thursday May 31st! Lunch will be provided at the park but please make sure your scholar brings their snack to school for recess. Your student may bring outside toys but no toys with wheels allowed. Chaperones please meet us at the school at 10:25 for a brief meeting. We are looking forward to our trip! Enjoy your 3 day holiday weekend! Blessings, Ms.Sanders

Friday, March 18th, 2018 Room 4 Newsletter Dear Families, Your scholars completed their early literacy test this week! We will be showing the results with you soon. Ms. Sarah and I are working hard every day to meet your child’s needs by individualizing instruction; using frequent formative assessments to monitor progress and adjust our instruction; and create an engaging, rigorous program. But this is a team effort to get your scholar ready for 1st grade. Some ways you must also support your child’s learning include: -Checking homework and making sure the homework folder is returned to school daily. -Helping your child practice math facts to fluency. -Reading with your child often and insisting they read daily. -Insisting on good behavior at school. Our walking field trip is coming up! Please make sure that you have your money and permission slip turned in. If you are chaperoning please make sure that you have all of the appropriate paperwork turned in at the office. Next Friday is Disaster Drill. Noon Dismissal of ALL students, NO SEP after school. Students only released to parents/individuals on student emergency list (parents are encouraged to update if necessary) Students only released to parent/permitted guardian who comes with an ID for formal identification purposes. Blessings, Ms. Sanders Spring Concert Photo
