Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

I apologize for not meeting with reading groups regularly last week/students not bringing books home! We had an assessment window (time frame) that was set to be completed by last Friday (the 7th). Then we had all these snow days… and the powers that be decided we could still have the same due date on assessments!!!! So I was scrambling last week, especially with being gone for an appointment for Samuel on Tuesday morning. I am getting a grace period today and tomorrow to wrap it up, but should be back to meeting like normal Wednesday through till Christmas break!
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: For the Christmas party, each student will have a stocking and we will be having pizza for our snack! So in short: students need to bring in 17 stocking stuffers, and $2 to cover pizza and the stocking itself. Please read the notes for further details!
A note came home last week regarding communication! I encourage you to make sure you read it and you have signed up for Remind 101 and our fb group!!! I truly need to respect my family time, and will no longer be answering things outside of my “office hours” (M-F 7am-6pm). You can always send a remind text, email, etc… but I will not answer until I am available! Thanks!
