November 8th
We had a very special Veteran's Day Assembly this morning! :)
Thank you to all of our families!! It was such a treat to have you for Grandparents/Special Friend's Day!!
A note from your K3 Room Moms...
Hello Fellow K3 Parents!
Back in September we sent home a quick letter introducing ourselves as your K3 Room Parents and included some important information about how to stay connected to Austin, the PTO, and us. At the bottom of the letter was a form that will help us to know some basic contact information for you and whether you're able to help volunteer periodically throughout the year.
If you haven't already returned that form in the attached envelope, please send it back with your kiddo so Mrs. Saxon can make sure we get it. Or, if it's easier, feel free to send an email to us directly and include:
- Your Name
- Your Child's Name
- Phone Number and/or Email Address
- Volunteer Preference: Classroom Parties or Events / Running Errands / Home Help (cutting, assembling items, etc.)
Thank you so much to those who have returned their forms! And thank you to all of you that have helped keep K3 at 1st place for the Mustang Stampede!!
Your Room Parents,
Angela (angela.schirber@gmail.com), Brooke (brookereagantpt@gmail.com), and Sarah (sarahpolk@gmail.com)
Using all of our sound knowledge to stretch out words to the very end and write down all of the sounds we hear!
Please try and send your child's reading books back to school each Friday!! :)
Books Coming Home on Monday!!
These books have a number on the back- the books are given to your child based on their reading level. Because this is the first time they are receiving leveled books, the books given to them might not be accurate. We will be bumping up levels as we see fit. A child may stay in the same reading level for a month before being bumped up. Please do not pay too much attention to the number, but more so how your child is reading.
- Are they pointing to each word as they read ? Giving each word ONE tap?
- Are they using the pictures to help them figure out unknown words?
- Are they recognizing the snap words that we have learned?
- Are they recognizing the pattern of the book?
These books they bring home SHOULD be easy for your child to read to you. They have read the book multiple times in class, and to myself. They are excited to now read them to you and have you be their reading partner.
Please send the books inside the bag BACK to school on Friday!! Each Monday (sometimes on Tuesday) your child will bring home their bag with a new set of books inside! If they don't bring back their books, they won't be getting new books to bring home. Please help them be responsible and keep the bag in their backpack after they read the books to you.
Books come Home on Monday-- Return books to school on Friday!! :)
