Welcome Back!!! :)
I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable winter break!!!
We will use the next few days as a transition period back to school and routines. We will be spending time reviewing rules and expectations, as well as reinforcing concepts that have been taught up to this point in the school year. Next week, look for new sight words and skills!
A few things...
Homework: It is minimal this week! Check your son's communication folder for an "abbreviated assignment." Regular homework will resume next week.
Project: We are beginning a new Unit of Inquiry, and the Kindergarten take-home project requirements will go home this week. Please have projects turned in no later than the week of February 7th. We had a few projects not turned in during our communities unit... Please make sure to take the time to reinforce these skills with your child through this project experience!
Sight Words: Your child has brought home a few lists of sight words. Please feel free to use these to go further with sight word practice if your son is ready. If he needs extra reinforcement, please go back and practice and review the earlier words.
Volunteer Sign Up: Please remember that we need a parent volunteer EVERY morning to ensure that our station time runs smoothly and so I can get to all of the reading groups. If you are able to come in even one day a month, please visit our write board and sign up! http://123.writeboard.com/ab9d810a811fde158 Password: imagine
Rest Towels: Rest towels go home on Fridays to be washed (when I dont forget to send them!) Please be sure that they are sent back on Mondays so we have them for our Rest and Relax time.
I am looking forward to another great semester with our fabulous gentlemen!
Thanks for all you do!!!!
