Nov. 21 News & Updates

Dear Kindergarten Families,
Happy Soon to be Thanksgiving day!!! I am so thankful for your child and for you!!! I am thankful they are in my class and that you make education  important to your child. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

*I want to give my apologize for the confusion on the supposed field trip to the museum.  The kindergarten team had sent home a note early in the year regarding a field trip to the museum on Friday, November 19th. As you probably figured out it did not happen. Due to a curriculum change the kindergarten team decided to not go to museum but we will be scheduling a field trip to see a play at First Stage. We will keep you posted when that is scheduled. 

*As a community project, all three kindergartens will be collecting winter hats, mittens, gloves and scarfs to give to children who need them this winter.  If you are able to help with this community project, please send in your donations by Dec. 13th.  Thank you for your generosity!

*A few weeks ago, the children made a project to help them learn the poem the Itsy Bitsy Spider and to help them learn their addresses.  The project has come home so please practice having your child read the poem and say their address.  An important part of being a kindergartener is knowing your address. Thank you for help with this.
