Kindergarten News

This week we will be working on the letter Ww and its sound as in wagon and watermelon. Review identifying and writing letters learned. Also practice blending letters in three, four, and five letter words. We will have Show & Tell but due to the short week, Friday’s show and tell will show on Monday, March 29th instead! (Tues. through Thurs. schedule as usual)

To go along with our letter Ww, we will have Wacky Hair Day on Tuesday, March 30th. Start thinking about a wacky hairstyle for the day. Remember boys and girls with short hair can always wear WIGS—they are wacky too!!!

Wednesday, March 31st will be WATERY WEDNESDAY. We will be talking about water and completing different experiments involving water throughout the day. It will be WONDERFUL!

As a theme for the week we will be discussing different kinds of weather. Maybe we will even have a future meteorologist in our midst!

For Reading we will finish the story My Lucky Day and begin One Little Mouse, by Dori Chaconas. It will be a rhyming/concept story and we will review the comprehension skill, sequence. We will introduce consonant blends too.

In Math we will be working with graphing, Chapter 10. Please review the pages that come home in your child’s folder daily.

Due to snow days the Easter vacation has been revised. There will be NO school for teachers and students Friday, April 2nd only! School will be in session Thursday, April 1st and Monday, April 5th.


Instead of an end-of-the-year party, Kindergarten has decided to have an Easter party as the last classroom party. It will take place on Thursday, April 1st from 10:00-11:00am.


Kindergarten graduation pictures will be taken in the morning Tuesday, April 20th for ½ of the classes and on Wednesday, April 21st for the other half of the classes. Our class will be photographed on Tuesday, April 20th. Envelopes were sent home with portrait package information. If interested in purchasing pictures then please return the money before or on the day of pictures. (CASH or MONEY ORDERS ONLY!!)**Each child will be photographed as part of a class photo even if a package is not purchased, so please plan on your child wearing a WHITE COLLARED SHIRT and girls, no hairstyles on top of your heads because you will be wearing graduation caps and gowns! Girls will be wearing red gowns w/ blue hats and boys will be wearing blue gowns with red hats.


ATTENTION: In an effort to accommodate more parents, Kindergarten Graduation has been moved from the daytime on Wednesday, May 26th to the (tentative) evening of Tuesday, May 25th @ 6:30pm in the HS auditorium. **Please note the change of dates and times.


Monday, March 29th is Day 6—Library book exchange. Please be sure to pack library books!!!
