News of the Week
August 15-19
Important Reminders!
Our second week went very well. I finished up my one-on-one assessments this week, so next week will be our first official week with our normal kindergarten schedule. We will be fully implementing our reading and writing workshop time, will have math workshop time, and we will begin talking about our social studies unit, Where We Live.
Here are a few reminders for next week:
- We officially have a room parent and a PIR parent, yay!
- Please plan to attend Curriculum Night on Thursday, we will meet in our classroom starting at around 6:15pm and the program will begin at 6:30pm.
- ABC Bootcamp: Please see the letter in Friday folders describing our FUN letter bootcamp program that we will start on Monday with letter A!
- Please make sure you order your $6 kindergarten grade level t-shirt! The deadline is August 26th and they cannot be ordered later in the year. Please contact me if you need a new form or simply send in cash (exact change) or check made out to FMES PTA and a note with your child's shirt size and I will get it ordered.
