Snack Reminder

If your child is one that forgets snack on a regular basis and eats our classroom reserves (once a week or more), please consider donating a bag of animal crackers or pretzels.  Kindergarten students need to replenish their energy supplies in order to do their best work until lunch. 

Update:  Thank you to those that have contributed!

Fish Fry - Silent Auction



Come to the Fish Fry at the Knights of Columbus Hall this Friday and make a silent auction bid for the Kindergarten entry.  It is a framed photo of all the students' hands around our class mission statement.  We can sign the mat for you later, if you like.  The proceeds will  go to FOSMS and then be passed on for classroom expenses.

Update:  Thank you to those that drove up the price!  Ann O'Sullivan's bid of $185 took home our project.  That money will go a long way in our classrooms!  Thank you Grandma O' Sullivan!

Assessments



I am glad to announce that I have finally completed the current assessments for the class.  The information I have gathered has helped me select just right leveled readers for your student.  Students will begin meeting with me 3-5 times per week in a small group setting using these leveled readers to build confidence and skills in reading strategies.  After we have finished with the letter Zz, students will begin selecting 3 leveled readers to bring home weekly to practice.  The books are empowering for the students, as each child can read at some level independently. The amount of time spent reading will affect the rate of growth.

Valentine Exchange



We will be exchanging valentine cards on Friday, February 13th.  Please have your student put their classmates' names on each card and sign each card (it is good practice writing :)
