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

Please take note the book order is THIS WEDNESDAY (12th)! If you wish to order books for your home library you need to send in the order form with your selections and a check made out to scholastic OR you can submit online using our class code!
Class t-shirts are coming home today! Both student and parent (if a parent ordered one) should come home in their backpack (or on their body as some chose to keep it on all day).
Today we took some really neat class pictures as part of our special fundraiser. A note came home last week about this explaining that KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS ARE DOING ONLY!!! We are taking a few very special, memorable pictures in our class t shirts. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL SEE/GET THESE COOL PICTURES IS BY PURCHASING ONE OF THEM (or all 3). This is an idea we came up with to help fund some new STEM activities, an extra field trip, etc… We wanted to do something memorable that would benefit all and not be something you threw away or would have to go out and sell. This is simply something we are offering to families! Do not feel obligated, but these are really neat! A note will come home with details this week! I just wanted to give you a heads up/explain a little more!
PTO has sent home fundraiser information and spirit wear information! Please get those orders turned in ASAP!
ANY NOTES, LUNCH MONEY, ETC… NEED TO BE IN YOUR STUDENT’S FOLDER!! I don’t have time to check backpacks everyday and student’s don’t always remember to bring in separate notes and things. The folder is used as our communication link, so make sure anything important is inside them for me to get each morning! Thanks!

Look what we are learning:
Poetry-We will be learning a new poem, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We will also be doing some fun activities with 1, 2 Buckle My Shoe (our poem from last week).
Word Work-This week we will continue working on some phonemic awareness and handwriting
