Dear Families,

I hope this finds everyone in your house happy and healthy!  Here is what we need to know for the upcoming week in our kindergarten class:

Please welcome our new friend Jacob to Room 114.  Jacob came to visit us on Friday and he seemed like has been here since the first day!

Last week we studied the poem A Sticky Situation.  Below the students are practicing using “a dot no more!”  Please have your child practice the poem with you over the weekend.  Encourage your child to point to the words as they read it to you.  Make sure your child puts their Poetry Notebook in their backpack when they are done practicing it.  We will need it on Monday.  Thanks!

Our class has been studying the words “the” and “to” in class.  Continue to encourage your child to read and write these words at home.

 

Leader in Me:

Last week we were talking about the word “habit” in class and how a habit is something you do over and over without really even thinking about it.  Habits can be good and bad.  Ask your child about what are some good habits.  See if they remember about Ms. Wright’s bad habit.  Try to use the word “habit” at home with your child.

We were also introduced to Habit 1:  Be Proactive! I’m in Charge of Me!

If you see your child being proactive at home, please take a photo and email it to me at wrightt1@dearbornschools.org.  Thanks for your support.

Monday:  Please return Nightly Literacy Homework and Poetry Notebooks today.  Wear gym shoes and art clothes.

Tuesday:  We will check out a book from the Media Center and have music with Mrs. Baloga.

Wednesday:  Mad Science at 1:00-2:00 p.m. We need family volunteers to help us as we rotate through our 5 Senses stations.  Our plan is to rotate through 3 stations today.  Email me if you are interested in helping us.

Thursday:  Mad Science at 1:00-1:45.  We need family volunteers to help us finish our 5 Senses stations before we go to Music at 1:52 p.m.

Friday:  We will go to the computer lab with Mrs. Ackerman.  Wear gym shoes for Mr. Murua.  Please turn in field trip permission slips and money today.  We still have several chaperone spots available for anyone who is interested.

Volunteer Opportunities:

• Red Folders on Monday morning at arrival time-  help us organize folders for the new month
• Mad Science  on Wednesday from 1:00-2:00 p.m.
• Mad Science on Thursday from 1:00-1:45 p.m.
• Organize words of the week card rings- This is done at the convenience of your own home anytime.

Book Bags:

Book bags were sent home last week.  Please make sure that you sign the Book Bag Log located inside the bag.  We need all materials placed back in the bag before sending to school. These bags will be sent home more often once the kindergartners are more independent during Daily 5.

Until next time…

Ms. Wright
