I have changed the format of our weekly newsletter, as per parent suggestions (thank you!). Kindergarden students need to begin completing homework heros.
The format is as follows: Each time your child completes his/her homework, please initial the box next to the homework list for that day. Red Hot Readers: Each 1st grade child brings home a Red Hot Reader folder. You will find a book for your child to read to you, or for you to read with your child. Please complete the form located inside the folder.
**Most of the books I will send are my personal books from MY home library. Please respect my books, as they are my property I am sharing with you and your child. If MY books are damaged, I do expect a replacement or money to replace my property. The more your child has an opportunity to read, the more proficient he/she will become. ********************************* Every student should be able to read these sight words!
For practice:
“Secret Stories” are fun, Storiesories we share with the students to help them remember letter pairs and their sounds. We call them secrets because they hide in words, and our detectives look for them to figure out the word. Here are a few “secrets” we have used secrets so far: C and K are cousins. They both don't like to be at the end of the line b/c it makes them nervous. So c and k line up together at the end of words, and they say /k/.
********************************* Kindergarten Homework Hero: (Complete the sheets send home nightly and turn in on Friday) Practice writing your first and last name Write your numbers 11-20 and model ( *********** 11).

This will ensure an excused absence. PLEASE write your child's name and teacher's name on the excuse.
A child must be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school.
Also, please do not send medication through back packs. All medication must be registered with the school nurse and doctor's orders put in place. *********************************************
