Dear Parent,
Tomorrow Fri. Oct 10th is our field trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Children should wear their uniform or P.E clothes depending on the weather. Remember the car seats.
This week is fire safety week. Mr. Brian Lesch was kind enough to give us a demonstration on fire safety, explaining about all the fire equipment a fire fighter uses in an emergency. He also let each child experience being a fire fighter by putting on his gear. the children were thrilled and asked many interesting questions. They also got to shoot out water so the children could experience how far the water can shoot.
Here's some important upcoming events: As part of our Kindergarten Religion program we often tell stories about the lives of our Saints. As you know November 1st if the FEAST OF ALL SAINTS. As a class project. I am asking the children to choose a Saint of their choice and dress accordingly. As November 1st is a Saturday we will be celebrating it on Friday November 7th at the first Friday Mass. A simple costume will do.
There are several books about saints, with pictures in our classroom.If you need some idea, come in and I will help you. Your child should be able to say a sentence or two about the saint he or she represents. This is 50% of their Religion grade.
We will also start a raffle as a Thanksgiving project. All proceeds go to the missions. Tickets are a quarter. Parents are welcome to participate. If any of you would like to donate prizes for the raffle, we would greatly appreciate it.
The next exciting event is our Math-A-Thon. Thurs. Oct. 16th is this event. Oh Yes! Kindergarten will be participating. It will be on the Math concepts we have covered so far.100% of what you bring in goes toward your family's assessment. not only is this educational, you are also helping yourself. It's a win win situation. I hope Kindergarten class will be the big winners!
Thank you and God Bless.

Hello Parent,
It is hard to believe that four weeks of school has gone by already. Your children have adjusted very well to their new daily routine. I am pleased to tell you that we are making good progress.
Here's a few reminders and information:
The skating party is rescheduled for Wed. Sept. 24th at 6:00 p.m.
The race/ethnicity form went home today(Fri. 19th). Please be sure to fill it out and send it back to school as soon as possible.
Free dress for $1.00 on Fri. Sept.26th. The proceeds go towards the new window that will be installed between the day care room and the Library, so the older children will be able to do their homework with supervision.
When your child brings homework on Wednesdays please make sure the work is done neatly and correctly. children do neat work in class as they are shown, but somehow the homework is not done as well. Some of your children had to repeat the work during recess. :(
Please remember Fri. is share day. reminder your children to bring a board game on Fridays.
Thank you
Manel

Dear Parent,
This is to let you know that your child is bringing home a LENTEN box. This could be a family project for the period of the six weeks of Lent. Please have all of your family participate in giving alms during this season.
"thank you" to all of your dedication to the poor. You have been extremely generous to the less fortunate in keeping with our Holy Father, Pope Francis' message to eliminate global hunger. I understand the daily demands we all have to face as parents but we do have a responsibility to take care of the less fortunate. In Matthew's gospel Jesus Said "WHATEVER YOU DO TO THE LEAST OF MY BROTHERS THAT YOU DO UNTO ME". Your reward will be great in heaven.
May God bless you and reward you.

Dear Kindergarten Parent,
Now that we have come to the halfway mark, I thought that this would be a good time to share with you some ideas on how you can help your child read and satisfactorily accomplish other activities in school and at home.
I will present to you the methods and techniques I use. The emphasis will be on math and reading. All of us realize the importance of reading and it always gives me great joy when I see and experience their progress from week to week. This will further help your child to be better readers and Mathematicians.
I invite you to attend the presentation of Wednesday, January 29th 2014. Please keep this day free. It will be held in the Kindergarten classroom from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Separately, our class will be celebrating Valentine's Day with a simple party the afternoon of Friday FEbruary 14th 2014 from 1:30 -2:30 p.m. The children will be exchanging Valentine cards in the morning. Those of you wishing to participate inn the card exchange should bring 23 cards with only your child's name on it. (e.g. from Holly)
p.s. Remember our mini Workshop is on Jan. 29th.
