Quick Tuesday Reminders

Just a few reminders for tonight!

I have scheduled the December Field Trip. It will be on December 8th (ALL DAY). All kinders (am and pm) will spend the entire day downtown. Please look at your calendar and see if you can join us. WE CANNOT GO ON OUR FIELD TRIP UNLESS WE HAVE ONE PARENT FOR EVERY TWO KIDDOS. 

Homework:
Homework comes home every Monday (in your child's homework folder) and is due back to school on Friday (in their homework folder). 
Your child should do one sentence per day and 3-4 math problems per day. The math page is NOT meant to be done in one sitting. 


Take Home Book:
The take home book needs to live in the plastic envelope! Once your child has read the book, have them put it back in the plastic envelope and back into their backpack.
Everyone will bring a book home on Monday to be returned on Thursday. They will get a different book or keep their current book on Thursday to be returned on Monday. If you think your child needs a new book or to move up/down a level, please send a note in their plastic book envelope. BOOKS WILL NOT BE EXCHANGED WITHOUT A NOTE! 
The Take Home Books are part of my classroom library. Please do not let your child write or color on them. They should be treated like a library book. 

Important Information:
1. Homework folders went home yesterday. Please have your child do their Tuesday sentence.  
Again, here are the "very hard to follow, but super important for your kiddo's growth" homework rules:
#1- Do not spell anything for them,
#2 Do not write anything for them,
#3 Do not tell them they wrote something incorrectly. 
You literally smile and say good job!  I am so proud of you!  That is perfect! 

2. Please make sure your child read their Take Home Book to you (at least once tonight).

3. Please continue to help your child sell cookie dough. Remember, if your kiddo sells or receives donations, to fill out the white coupon and send it in. They will get a key chain for every 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 tubs they sell/donations they receive. 

4. In the upcoming months, there are a few "non-student" days (aka, teachers have meetings and the kiddos get the day off) to be aware of. The first is 10/14. Please see the district calendar for other "non-student" days and events.

5. In your child's homework folder, there is a pink conference scheduling form. 
Please look at the dates and times listed at the top of the page (Kindergarten Conference Schedule). Then, list your top three preferred dates and times on the bottom portion of the form. Please send the form back as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me!
