WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN AT NORTHWOOD!
*********************************************************************************************************************
Wow! We have made it through the first half of kindergarten!
Our kindergarten Holiday Party will be Tuesday, December 15 at 12:45. You are all invited to attend!
The children have worked so hard this semester. It is amazing how far they have come in 75 days! We hope that you are seeing the progress they have made at home. Please continue to review sight words and read daily!
Please take a minute to visit our website and view the Power Standards. These standards are in bold type. The Power Standards are the standards that your child MUST master in order to be ready for 1st grade. We are working on a list of suggested activities that will accompany our homework and will help review these standards. You can always use the “Ways to Review” section on the back of the newsletter to help you with review of our skills. Our homework is also a great review and can be downloaded from the website. They will be in PDF form beginning in December.
We would like to remind you that homework is due each Thursday. Please attach work samples to your homework.
HAVE A SAFE, HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!!
