Monday, April 29 - Upcoming Dates

Home Reading is progressing nicely. It's always a pleasure to observe our Kindergarten students grow in their knowledge of letters and sounds, words, and sentences. Please remember that every student progresses at their own rate. Every Kindergarten student is a reader!
Our Home Reading program will continue for another month. If you can spare a few minutes in the morning, we could use some assistance in exchanging books for our young readers. Sign up spots are on  signupgenius.com

Our little Green Thumbs Garden, is beginning to flourish. If you have any extra planting pots that are 6 to 8 inches in size, we could use them for our garden. Some of our plants are ready to be transplanted into a bigger pot.

April 3 - Welcome Back!

I hope you enjoyed a lovely, and relaxing March Break.
During Library, Mrs. Kidd is reading fairy tales to Kindergarten. Today, she read the story, 'Field of Buttercups'. This is a story about an Irish boy called Michael O' Grady, who finds a Leprechaun who plays a trick on him. Today we are encouraging everyone to choose one Fairy Tale book to read with you at home.
Please continue to practice our letter of the week sounds at home. On a weekly basis, we are asking Kindergarten to sound out three letter words as well as our 'Jack and the Beanstalk' vocabulary.
