When doing homework, please read my directions and the page directions.  
Sometimes I will give additional work to do on pages (like trying to write 
whole words). 

Just a reminder:  Dad’s night will be January 26 from 6:00-7:30pm.  Papers 
will go home about this soon.  I hope everyone can attend.  

 
My email is Kimberley.ryder@stpsb.org. This is the BEST way to contact me. I 
check my email regularly and I will respond to you as fast as I can.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~notes from previous newsletters are below~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Make sure your child’s jacket is clearly labeled with his/her name.  We have 
many navy jackets and sweatshirts in our room and it is hard for me to know 
it belongs to when there is no name written in it.  I have been receiving 
notes that students are misplacing jackets and lunchboxes.  I can look in 
the classroom for missing items  and I send the children to the Lost and 
Found when things are missing. You are free to come to school to look for 
your child’s lost items in our lost and found in the gym.  Remember to sign-
in in the office if you come to school to go to the lost and found.  

		                                                             
 If you know your child will be checking out of school early, please send me 
a note to let me know. It is nearly impossible to find one student in a sea 
of 200 to check out during recess. Also, I may be in the middle of an 
activity and unable to make sure your child has everything he/she should 
bring home if he/she is checked out without notice.  

Just a reminder for visitors: NO adults are allowed to enter the children’s 
restrooms. This policy is for the children’s safety and is strictly 
enforced. If you have family members that may visit our school for some 
reason, please be sure to explain this policy to them.

Thanks to everyone who has been donating items from our class wish list!  
Your contributions help us out more than you realize.

*** When looking through homework, I noticed a number of students have all 
words spelled correctly in their own handwriting.  At this point in the 
year, I should not see this many students that know how to spell every word 
they write. When given homework that involves writing or spelling,please 
do not spell words for your child. It is important for your child to be 
able to use his/her knowledge of letter sounds when writing. Spelling 
phonetically in Kindergarten, helps children to associate letters with the 
sounds they make and helps them to be better spellers in later grades. At 
this point in the year, some children may only recognize one letter sound in 
a word or no letter sounds in the word. This is normal and you will see 
progress throughout the year on this.  It is pretty obvious in their work 
when children have been told how to spell words instead of trying it for 
themselves. If you wish, you may write what your child wrote AFTER he/she 
finishes the assignment when homework involves writing or spelling.***
