Announcements small medium large April Newsletter -Kindergarten Well, in two short months your child will be moving on to first grade. These are crucial months as they now have the “tools” they need to get there. They know their letters and sounds for most of the letters and should be able to put them together to form words. They have a beginning awareness of the differences between a statement sentence and a question sentence. They also know the correct punctuation to use at the end of each of these. We will be concentrating a lot more on reading and writing and less on the worksheets. Most of the writing will be done in their journals and for their writing books. These you will see at the end of the year. Please note the improvement in your child’s work as the year went on. In Math we are finishing up on coin recognition and will start on the factors of 10. Please continue to practice the names and values of coins penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. They have little songs for all of them and should be able to identify each and give its value. This is something I recommend that you practice all summer too! In Social Studies we are going to begin talking about how income, trade, goods and services are important to people and communities. Ask your child how much money their table has at the end of each week. In religion we will look at parts of the church and talk about Christ’s love and His teachings. Please note that Rice Bowls should be turned in before break but we will continue to take them after we return. This money goes to help people in devastation to rebuild and help themselves. It is not just given out. Science will continue to be about the Sun, Earth and moon. I hope that by the end of the month we will be ready to create our movie for the “school in Thailand”. As always dress for the worst weather and send a school sweater or sweatshirt every day. Please keep up the uniform code as was stated in the Blue Note from Mr. Lungaro. Practice words and reading every night. This is one of the most important processes for first grade. I will be sending home a list of words your child should know for first grade. Please visits the LINKS section and view the Animoto to see some of the things we have done so far in kindergarten. I have noticed that the students are slipping in their uniform dress. The things that have come to my attention are: • Socks-they need to be above the ankle and white or navy. The same goes for tights. • Gym uniforms-school gym uniforms are to be worn for gym along with regular gym shoes. NO lights or sparkles! • Belts-boys and girls are to wear belts with the uniform pants. Belts should be plain black. • Shirts-shirts need to be tucked in. Please teach your child how to tuck in his/her shirt Thank you for your continued support, Mrs. Hummel Kinder-Prep April Newsletter Kinder-prep continues to amaze me with their advancements. They have passed the number ten and are working on teen numbers. They have met almost all of the Letter People and will finish up this month. Since they have progressed so well we have decided to start formal writing of the letters with them. They will be using the D'Nealian form of letter writing so that they are prepared for cursive when the time comes. Keep practicing counting and number and letter recognition. Watch the weekly newsletter for upcoming events. Practice writing first names. (Use the D’Nealian form of writing that I sent home.) I have noticed that the students are slipping in their uniform dress. The things that have come to my attention are: • Socks-they need to be above the ankle and white or navy. The same goes for tights. • Gym uniforms-school gym uniforms are to be worn for gym along with regular gym shoes. NO lights or sparkles. Public Service Announcement Please, please, please remember that the students go out for gym and recess. They need to have proper attire. Also. All students need to have a school sweater or sweatshirt at school every day. Our classroom is on a boiler so the temperature swings chilly at times during they day. Back to our regularly scheduled newsletter! Remember: Homework needs to come back every day in the folder. Missing assignments count against incentive jean days. (more on incentive jean day will follow later) Snacks should be healthy and in their own bag. * Girls need to wear shorts under their skirts. * Boys and girls need belts with their slacks and socks need to be above the ankle. We will begin “uniform infractions” next week. These also count against the incentive day. *Dress for the weather! As the weather begins to cool students will need to have a school sweater with them or in their locker every day. Please make sure that a name or initials are on the label. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. You may do so by letter, school phone, or if it not an urgent matter, through the school web site. I will respond at my next available moment. I will be sending home newsletters monthly. Please read through them so that you are prepared for questioning your child about his/her day and are aware of upcoming activities. The school collects Campbell’s food labels and BoxTops for Education. Please save these as they help our school purchase items that are not in the budget. Email: Here is my email address: teacherhummel@yahoo.com . I check it at least twice every day, once in the morning and once at night. For items that are of a less urgent nature please use this media to contact me. Automatically clean input to optimize for the web.
