Kindergarten Update and Important Reminders

We had a great week in Kindergarten! The kids are working so well together and I love seeing all the new friendships that are developing. We have been emphasizing working as a team and helping one another throughout the day. I am very proud of how quickly our students are adjusting to the fast-paced life of Kindergarten!! Here are a few pictures from recess and developmental play to give you a little insight. Enjoy!

Thanks again to all the families that have sent in school supplies and wish list items!! We greatly appreciate it!

It was great to see so many parents at Open House this past week. I know we presented you with lots of new information, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. 

OTIS

Remember that we are sending home OTIS (your child's daily communication notebook) on Monday.  Go through the notebook and check for any notes from our classroom or the school in the communication pocket of the folder.  Please have your child bring it back the next day.  I have been talking with the children that it's their name on the notebook and so they are responsible for giving the notebook to you each day and putting it back in their backpack themselves.  Putting their OTIS where it belongs in our room each morning is part of their morning routine. 

Scholastic Book Club

Monday you will be receiving a few Scholastic Book Order flyers. Scholastic has many great books to choose from and they are very reasonably priced. I am asking that all orders be made online. It is the easiest and most convenient way to order. All you need is the class activation code (see below) for your initial account setup. I will also include this code on the upper left corner of the flyer. Thanks!!

Class Activation Code:J3RKF

JYJ Kindergarten T-Shirt $10

Please remember to order your JYJ Kindergarten t-shirt. We will wear this t-shirt on all of our field trips and other special occasions. You can pay online using the “Online Field Trip Payment” link located under “Important Classroom Links”.

Birthdays

Kindergarten birthdays are acknowledged in the cafeteria.  If it is your child's birthday and you choose to bring something to share with the class, we ask that you bring it at lunch.  During lunch our birthday boy or girl gets to stand in their chair and the entire K grade sings to them.  If you've decided to bring something in, then we'll pass it out at lunch. We eat at 10:45! 

A couple of important dates!
