Dear Families,

Kindergarten is having a great time doing calendar,

morning message, writing, and reading.  We have

increased our Read to Self time to 14 minutes.  This

is a great accomplishment, but it comes with a

challenge.  Our kids are running out of books to read

in the 14 minute time span.  Please send your child in

with 3 or 4 books from home that he or she is

confident reading (think those Dr. Seuss books, or the

ones they beg you to read over and over).  Remember they 

can "read the pictures," "read the words," or retell the story.

We know some of you are interested in volunteering

as well.  Please let us know in your child’s notebook

what days and times would work best for you and

we’ll call you to set it up and see what you are most

interested in doing.

We enjoyed chatting with many of you during our

kindergarten information night.  If you missed it, you

can pick up the Common Core handout at the Open

House on Tuesday, September 24 from 5:30-6:30. 

We look forward to seeing you then!
