We had a great first week of kindergarten! It was so much fun getting to know each other
with their Summer Sacks! I hope the children are adjusting to their
new schedule. Just a reminder to make
sure your child gets plenty of sleep and a healthy breakfast every morning. It makes a big difference in their ability to
learn each day.
If your child did not bring their Summer Sack to share it's not too late.
Just send it any day this week.
Just send it any day this week.
Remember that starting Monday kindergarten will be 8:10 am – 3:00 pm, except the 1st Friday of each month. They are minimum days and school is dismissed (for all students) at 12:45 pm.
Home Learn Folders
Your
child’s blue Home Learn Folder will come home every MONDAY and is due on
THURSDAY (unless noted otherwise on the bookmark).
Please keep the follow things in mind when working
on the homework:
·
Keep
the colored bookmark stapled to the packet of homework every week.
·
Put
a check mark in the box next to each assignment as your child completes it.
·
Please
complete ALL of the assignments each week.
The blue sight words that your child will cut
apart this week are to be kept in the provided baggie at home. We will be adding to them all year so keep
them in a safe place and get them out often and practice reading them. If your child can already read them then they
can start writing sentences and illustrating them. Ex. The cat. The bed. Last week we worked on the word:
the. This week we will learn the word:
my.
Each
week the Home Learn packet is worth 10 points that goes on your child’s
homework grade. Points will be deducted
for incomplete and missing/late work.
Thank you for supporting your child as a learner
in our class!
THANK YOU to everyone for your wonderful classroom donations! We also have a Giving Tree that I will keep next to or on our classroom door throughout the year. It will have sticky notes with opportunities for other donations on it. If you are looking to help our class with supplies please come by and check it out and take one of the sticky notes.
Our
fabulous librarian Mrs. Doiser, also has another talent. She is a yoga instructor. She will be coming into our room once a week
to teach us yoga techniques to help us relax and prepare our mind and body to
learn. We will be using these techniques
throughout our week. Take a look at what
she taught us on Friday.
Speaking of library, this week we will be going to the library for the 1st time. Our library day is every MONDAY. Your child will check out 1 book to bring home. Please help him/her keep this book safe and return it the following Monday. In a couple of weeks we will increase it to 2 books each week. The children may also return their book(s) before school and check out a new book(s), any day of the week.
UPCOMING CALENDAR DATES…
$1.00
FREE DRESS FRIDAY
At OPA one of the ways we raise money is by having
FREE DRESS FRIDAYS. They will be scattered throughout the
year, but not every Friday. I will
always send you a REMIND to let you know when they are. They are also on Mrs. Campbell’s weekly blog. The first one will be this Friday, Sept 1st.
Here is how it works ~ if your child brings $1.00
he/she may wear clothes that are not the regular school uniform. Levis, shorts, dresses… (please no open-toed
shoes, short shorts, spaghetti straps or tank tops)
Grandparent
Lunch ~ Tuesday, Sept. 12th
11:15 am
We are going to be celebrating GRANDPARENTS!
Look for the yellow note (below) in your
child’s Home Learn Folder. Each child
may invite 2 grandparents to come on Tues. the 12th to eat lunch
with them. Please return it to school by THURSDAY. We need to turn in a final count of who is
coming that day.
We understand that not all children will have grandparents that are able to come. That is okay. We can share grandparents.J

Based on Utah State’s safe schools

secretaries a valid driver’s licence, passport, or ID card to get a visitor
badge. Grandparents without a visitor's
badge will be asked to check in at the office. You can get preapproved any day
before Grandparents Day so it will not be so busy by coming into the school and
showing your ID. Thank you for
understanding and keeping our students safe.
assume he/she will not
be inviting anyone that day.
Thank you,
Mrs. Scalise
