Good evening!

• LATE START tomorrow. 9:30AM arrival for all students. Breakfast is an hour later too.
• PAJAMA DAY is tomorrow. If you’d like to wear your PJs, please plan to make a $1 donation to help victims of the hurricanes.
• THANK YOU for your patience at dismissal time. As I scan the crowd, I try to find familiar faces as quickly as I possibly can. I’ll do my best to make sure your child gets to you as sooon as I see you. If someone other than an immediate family member is picking up, please remind them to show a photo ID. I’ll need to check and make sure they’re on your child’s Emergency Card.

Good night! Mrs. Coleman 😴😴😴

Good evening! A few notes for today:

• Wednesday is a LATE START for all students. Line-up is at 9:30AM.
• Wednesday is also our first school wide fundraiser. Students are allowed to wear their pajamas to school for a $1 donation. All funds will be helping victims of the hurricanes.
• Please be sure to complete the daily homework assignments in the Homework notebook. Despite what the fine print at the bottom of the calendar says, I would prefer if you do not skip around. In other words, have your child complete the assignment for October 16 tonight.
• Three things need to be sent to school and taken home daily: homework folder; Homework notebook; and book bag. Thank you for your help in reminding your child to be responsible for these items.

See you tomorrow! Mrs. Coleman

Good evening!

• Tomorrow is FriYAY and we’ve got a very special Detroit Pistons assembly to attend! Our class will head down to the auditorium around 9:50AM. This will be our very first assembly.
• Tomorrow is the Fall Festival. If you purchased tickets for the event, your child will bring them home tomorrow. They will be in a marked envelope.
• It’s a half day (no lunch) with dismissal at 11:45AM. Please send a snack to school.
• All but three students have a writing assignment (Bb) to complete at home. Students had a lot of time to work on this in class.
• Book bags need to be taken home and returned to school every day. Mrs. Mardini and I met with small groups this morning and were disappointed by the number of students whose book bags did not come to school today.

Good evening!

• Tomorrow is our day to visit the Book Fair! We will head down to the Media Center at 12:30. It’s also our day for check-out. Don’t forget to bring your library books to school!!!
• Al students should have a gallon size plastic bag with them tonight. The bag contains up to two good-fit books, and a smaller bag with sight words to practice. Some students will also have an envelope with letters (name puzzle) and a ring with high frequency words. These books and the sight words should be read at home every night. The plastic bag with all its contents needs to be returned to school every day.
• Friday is a half day for students. We do not have lunch at school on half days. Dismissal is at 11:45AM. We will have a morning snack. It’s also the Fall Festival!!!

Good evening!

• We will visit the Book Fair on Thursday at 12:30 (despite what you might have read on the schedule). Parents are welcome to meet us in the Media Center at 12:30 if you would like to help your child with her/his purchases.
• Mrs. Vipond, Mrs. Post, and Mrs. Holls have kindly volunteered to assist with the planning of our Halloween celebration. Please let me know if you’re available to meet Thursday after school from 3:45-4:00. Thank you!

Good evening!

• Forgot to note that this Wednesday, October 11, is Picture Day! If you plan to order prints or a package, please send the envelope to school on Wednesday. I have not yet been given a time for our photos.
• If your child brought home handwriting practice (Ee) or a Bubble Map (Dd) these assignments need to be finished at home and returned to school tomorrow. Most students turned in both assignments today.
• I was disappointed by the number of students who either didn’t bring their Homework notebook to school, or did not complete last week’s 4 assignments. Assignments need to be completed nightly, and returned to school daily.
• Be sure to check out the Book Fair flyer. Our class will visit the Book Fair on Thursday from 12:30-1:00. Please meet us in the Media Center if you wish to supervise your child’s purchases.
• Donations for the Kindergarten Basket Raffle should be sent to school either tomorrow or Wednesday. The theme for our basket is Art Supplies. Thank you in advance for your donations! The raffle will take place at the Fall Festival this Friday.

• This Friday, October 13, is a half day for all students. Dismissal is at 11:45AM. We will not have lunch at school on Friday, but I will set aside time to have a morning snack. Friday is also the Fall Festival! 🎃🍁🍩
• I am in need of three kinder family members to help with planning our Halloween celebration. I’d like to organize a couple of Math centered games, a craft, and a treat (possibly one that can be decorated at school and taken home). If you’d like to help, please let me know. The next step will be to create a Sign-Up with all the resources/materials we will need.

See you tomorrow! Don’t forget your gym shoes!!! Mrs. C

Good evening!

• Tomorrow is a NO SCHOOL day for kindergarten students.
• I will be checking for tonight’s and tomorrow’s homework assignments on Monday.
• Some students are bringing home a Circle Map with the letter Ee in the center. Their task is to draw and color pictures of things that begin with the letter e. Most turned in the assignment today.
• I COMPLETELY FORGOT to collect the money for Fall Festival tickets. I will collect the money on Monday morning. Thank you for understanding.

Have a wonderful weekend! Mrs. Coleman
