Dear Kindergarten Parents,
We had a great first week of full day kindergarten! My favorite part of the day is community circle where we get a chance to all share. Today for Fun Friday, we welcomed Fall with an apple craft, sang songs and met Jiji, the ST Math penguin.
Homework
Other than the Introduction to Seesaw, I have postponed assigning homework on SeeSaw this week. The longer days are a big adjustment and I did not want to add homework on top of it. As previously mentioned, a packet was sent home in the green folder to assist with handwriting and letter recognition. This packet is due on Friday, September 30th.
Next week the Math Standards practice book will be sent home. This book is used for homework and should remain at home. Please keep it in a safe place and complete only the pages when assigned.
Please check Seesaw for assignments. Students will complete the slides and add a picture of the math pages assigned. You do not need to turn in the hard copies.
Picture day – Tuesday, September 27th
Picture day is on Tuesday, 9/27. Students MUST come to school wearing complete formal Mass uniforms. You can refer to the handbook, by clicking here. Make sure uniforms are complete and that hair is combed as you want it to be photographed. All hair accessories must be in the school’s colors (navy, black, white and gray).
Kindergarten students will be the first class to take their pictures. Once pictures are taken, Mrs. Claros and I can assist students who want to remove vests, cardigans, sweaters and ties. We will put all items directly into their backpacks.
I know Tuesday is usually PE. Do NOT wear or send PE uniforms. Mrs. R, the PE teacher is aware and has adjusted the curriculum to accommodate formal Mass uniforms and the weather.
Guardian Angel Retreat, September 30th
As we end each day, the students say the Guardian Angel prayer. We will be doing something special in class in honor of Guardian Angel day on October 2nd.
Parent Teacher Conferences, October 10th-13th
If you did not sign up for a conference during Back to School Night, please send me an email and I will let you know the remaining available time slots.
Reminders
Please let your child know what you have packed for snack (at 10:00) and lunch (at noon). I appreciate it if you do NOT send your child with candy, soda or other sugary drinks.
I was so proud of our class this past week when 100% of our students on Tuesday had refillable water bottles for PE. Keep it up!
Upcoming Events
The school calendar can be found clicking here.
Please feel free to email any questions/concerns and remember that I usually do not check emails during class time.
Have a nice weekend,
Mrs. McCabe
