Kindergarten News
August 22-23
If I sent you another set of instrucions about REMIND today, than you are not on my Kindergarten Remind list. (We had to clear the list recently and start over) I have parents of Serenity, AJ Roth, AJ Grubb, Sullivyn, and Decker currently on my list.
I will be sending a SMORE Newsletter directly to your email. It is also on our website. The letters consist of important dates, information and pictures. They are typically sent on Friday of each week.
We will be taking a field trip to the State Fair in Huron August 29th. We've done this for several years and have had an amazing time each year! The field trip is called "South Dakota's Largest Classroom" and we will have special events to attend along with a trip to the petting zoo and fish aquarium at the Game Fish and Parks. Lunch is free so please do not send money. Students should dress for the weather. I will explain to the students that we will not be riding carnival rides, and that we are just taking advantage of all the educational activities the fair has to offer. We are looking for one additional chaperone. If you would like to join us, please let me know. We will leave at 8:30 and return by the end of the school day.
I'm sending home a "Learn About Me" poster today. This poster is for our "Star Camper of the Week" Students and parents can work together on the poster and it can also include pictures. Send back to school anytime before your child's "Star of the Week" date. (see folder for schedule) Posters and pictures will be displayed in the hallway next to our room.
Starting in September, we will do a letter each week for Show and Tell. I sent home a white bag with the letter A on it to get us started. On September 6th, students should bring back the bag with an item or two of something that begins with 'Aa". We will continue each week until we get through letter Zz .
We will continue to use the Bulldog folder as our communication folder. I will check the folder each day for notes from home. Please check the folder each night for any notes from the school.
I have included the centers calendar in the Bulldog folder. Centers is a great time to see how your child is doing and the kids LOVE when their family helps out. Centers is located next door to our classroom. A couple activites will be on the table for you to monitor. There will be four students in centers at a time and will rotate through until everyone is done. The rest of the class will be with me in the classroom doing other centers such as reading groups, flash cards, testing, etc.
