Friday Folder News


Hello Families,
Our letter for the week was Xx. When you say Xx it begins with the back of your tongue humped and in the back of your mouth. We have been zooming through the alphabet. The only letter we have left is Qq. The students should know all the letter names and almost all the sounds. 
            Reading with your child is a great way to help them. The kindergarten students are able to read on their own at this point. Please keep reading at home!
            The carnival is coming. MAY 4th from 5:00 – 7:00, Please plan on attending.
            I need some parents to volunteer to run a game at the school carnival. Can you sign up for a one hour shift? Send a note back in Friday Folders if you can.
            The snow days have forced us to add another day to the end of the school year. Kindergarten kids will now have school on June 12th. NO KINDERGARTEN on June 13th (the 1st – 6th graders will have a half day)
            Homework. The back of name homework has sight words. Have your child read these words in addition to writing them! Thanks!
            We have been working hard on lots of projects. I’m so proud of these kids. We have been doing lots of science about out caterpillars who will grow into butterflies. Miss Thompson planted seeds, so we are watching those grow too.
            A special thank you to all the parents who have been helping with homework every week! Thanks!
            There are lots of reminders in Friday Folders about school stuff, please read them.
Thanks
-Miss Thompson
