                     Just a few reminders from the Kindergarten class.

                     1. Parent education night Monday Jan. 26th at 6:30 p.m. in the Kindergarten class.
                     2. Spelling test this Friday, January 23rd. the word are:

            New information:
     
                        1. We will not be celebrating Valentine's Day with a party this year. However, if you would like to participate with exchanging Valentine cards you may do so. Those participating in the card exchange bring 17 card with only your child's name on it. For example: From Mary. We will exchange card during the morning of February 13th.

            2. I have exciting new I'd like to share with you. Some of your children have started reading a book! We are all on book one and practicing really hard. In Kindergarten, reading is checked on an individual basis. I'm sure you all understand I cannot listen to each child by myself. Therefore, I am asking for volunteers to help me. Individual reading time is on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00-2:30 pm. In order for your child to advance to book two, we need volunteers during this time. If I have no volunteers I will have to discontinue reading the books. The volunteers have to be consistent, so please think carefully before you make the commitment.

        Thank you for your commitment to your child's education.

                                                                                                    Manel McMillan

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
