Thursday, October 26th, 2017 Room 4 Newsletter Dear Families, We had an exciting week in kindergarten and are so excited for tomorrow's pumpkin patch learning adventure. Please remember to have your scholars bring their bag lunch and booster seat tomorrow and come in their uniform top and jeans. All chaperones and drivers can meet at the kindergarten classroom at 10:30. We can't wait to learn and enjoy the pumpkin patch! Next Tuesday is Halloween! We will celebrate as a school with a parade at 8:00-8:30 in the gym following prayer. The kinders will also go to the school carnival on the playground and play games and socialize with their peers. From 10am-12pm all families are invited to come to our classroom party were we will have crafts, food, and fun. If you would like to bring goody bags or a treat to share we have 22 students and we have a peanut/tree nut allergy. Please contact the room parents if you would like to help with the party. The kindergarten students have a special little presentation they would love for you to experience during the party. Please remember that Halloween is a noon dismissal day. Kindergarten and pre-K will have a very special opportunity in November...a published author will be visiting and reading aloud his books to us! The Shelly’s adventure book series author, Kentrell Martin, will be coming to our school on November 16 and parents are welcomed to join us. If you would like to order a book to have him autograph it book orders due November 3. Blessings, Ms. Sanders Costume Rules: • Please do not send your child with weapons (even props) or in costumes that depict extreme violence, blood, or gore. Costumes should not be suggestive of anything inappropriate or in conflict with our school values. • Please do not allow your child to come to school in a costume that includes a scary mask. • Costumes should be appropriate and modest. Skirt length and footwear should be consistent with uniform guidelines. • Students should be able to see, hear, move comfortably and breathe easily in their costumes

Friday, October 20th, 2017 Room 4 Newsletter Dear Families, This week was wonderful in kindergarten! We learned about the short and long “A” and the sight word “see”. Your scholars experimented with pumpkins as we used our 5 senses and even tasted pumpkin seeds! We wrapped up chapter 3 in math which covered counting, writing, and representing the numbers 6-9. In religion we learned about the gift of land that God made us. In social studies we defined good citizens and acted out different community helpers in our dramatic play area. On Wednesdays your scholar will have the opportunity to bring in something for show and tell. Your scholars are welcome to bring anything they like but nothing too valuable that they would be upset if it got lost. Please remind your student that their show and tell should remains safely in their backpack until it is time for their turn. We do enjoy having show and tell! It is a time where we learn more about our classmates and they have time where they can practice speaking in front of a large group. Next week will be a big one, red ribbon week and the pumpkin patch! Red ribbon week has traditionally been one to focus on drug awareness. At St. John however, we like to highlight and discuss the importance of overall positive habits and life choices that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Please remember that your scholars need to bring their booster seat, a bag lunch, jeans with green uniform top, We look forward to seeing the chaperones and drivers at the school for a short meeting at 10:30 on Friday. Blessing, Ms. Sanders Friday, October 13th, 2017 Room 4 Newsletter Dear Families, It was so nice meeting with all of the parents and guardians at parent-teacher conferences! I have seen lots of wonderful progress over the first eight weeks of school with our scholars. I have faith in our students’ potential to meet and succeed in all of their goals we have set for the year! As a team, (parents, child, and teacher) we can ensure student achievement to be the very best they can be. Please make sure you are reading with your child every night and pointing out popcorn words, rhyming words, and punctuation marks. I have a tab on our class website with additional math and language arts enrichment resources, so check it out. A big thank you to all of the families who picked up an donation “apple” from our giving tree. Please let me know if you spend $25 in donations in supplies for our classroom so I can sign off an hour for service hours. You may turn in your donations at anytime and your donations greatly benefit all of the students in kindergarten! We have enough drivers and chaperones to go on our field trip on October 27th! In order to be cleared to be a driver make sure you have completed these items and turned it into the office by the beginning of next week:safe-environment, driver's license, fingerprints, and declaration of insurance (100,000/300,000). Also make sure you are cleared to chaperone by completing these items and turn it into the office by the beginning of next week:safe-environment and fingerprints. Blessings, Ms. Sanders Friday, October 6th, 2017 Room 4 Newsletter Dear Families, Thanks for making the fall festival so successful! A special shout out to our room parent team Carleen Gonzalez, Michelle Stewart, and Catherine Barnes for decorating our awesome 90’s booth! Congratulations to the kindergarten student of the month Jeremiah C. for being a super scholar who actively lives and enjoys learning about the Catholic faith. Jeremiah practices Christ-like behavior daily by saying kind words to his friends, sharing his knowledge of God during religion, and always willing to help a classmate in need. I appreciate Jeremiah for being attentive during prayer time in the gym. Thanks for all that you do Jeremiah, you are amazing! We are all so proud of your accomplishments. Parent teacher conferences are next week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday which are also noon dismissal days. I am looking forward to meeting with you all and partnering with you to assure student success! If you still need to schedule a meeting with me please email me as soon as possible. Progress reports will be going home on Tuesday. If you have any questions or concerns we will also be discussing the format and grading scale during conferences.
