Sparkle Store:
- Starting today, we will be sending home your child's sparkles on Thursdays! Please help your child count their sparkles at home and look over our Kindergarten Sparkle Store list. This is a great opportunity to practice counting and sorting as well as deciding how to make purchases! Once they have decided what they would like to purchase from the store, please write it on the sticky note provided in the bag. They may also choose to save their sparkles for the following week. Please make sure your child's name is on all of their sparkles and return the bag with your child on Friday morning. The Sparkle Store is open every Friday morning from 7:30-7:45 down by our classrooms! Be sure to arrive early to have plenty of time to go to the Sparkle Store. Please keep in mind that the Sparkle Store closes promptly at 7:45.
