Monday Information

 

Today I had a sub while I assessed the kiddos one-on-one. All the kinders did a wonderful job and I could tell many of them had been practicing their Magic 5! I didn't get to everyone today, so I will continue assessing tomorrow. 

Important Information:

1. Homework folders came home today (11/2). Please note that our building policy is to only give between 5-8 minutes of homework per day in kindergarten (that includes writing their sentence, three math problems, and reading their take home book). If you would like to give your child extra work, that's up to you. If you have questions regarding your child's homework and/or our homework policy, please email me.     

2. Take Home Books came home today! 

3. Just a reminder that the PTO and school calendars are linked on the side of the blog. All upcoming events are posted there and is a great resource.

4. Please practice the flash cards you were given at Open House with your kiddo (sight words and numbers). Daily practice for just a few minutes is better than one big chunk at once.

5. We will have a Veteran's Day Assembly. The kinders will be singing two songs at the assembly. The assembly is on Tuesday, November 10^th, at either 10 a.m. with our primary students (AM-K, 1, 2, and 3) or at 2:00 p.m. with our intermediate students (PM-K, 4, 5, and 6). Click HERE for more information about the assembly.

6. DURING CONFERENCE WEEK (NOVEMBER 19-25), GRADES 1-6 HAVE HALF DAYS; HOWEVER, THE KINDERGARTEN SCHEDULE DOES NOT CHANGE. AM KINDERS GO FROM 9:10-11:45am AND PM KINDERS GO FROM 12:45-3:20pm.

7. Start thinking about whether or not you can join us for our all-day field trip on Dec. 10th. We must have one adult for every two kinders or we cannot do the trip. For safety reasons, we cannot take siblings on the trip. Please find childcare for younger kiddos, if you plan on attending. 

8. Cookie Dough delivery will be November 5th. You can pick up

orders between 11:30-5:30 pm. Please note, Prairie View cannot store any cookie dough orders. All orders must be picked up on the 5th.
9. Kindergarten does not do a Thanksgiving or Christmas program. The only big production we do is in the spring.

10. We are continuing to pass out Magic 5 certificates! Please help your child practice these skills! The sooner they know them, the better. The Magic 5 is just the basics of what kiddos need to know! I'm so proud of all the kiddos for working hard! Please let me know if you have any questions about the Magic 5. Even if you're child earned their certificate, please continue to practice the skills!
