Look into our week 4/6-4/10

Good morning parents and guardians,

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break! I can't wait to get back into the classroom and create more learning experiences and wonderful memories. We are getting closer to the end of the school year, but before that happens we have a lot more learning to do, to get our kiddos ready for first grade!

NEW HOMEWORK:

The kindergarten team is doing their part to help save paper. As you may have seen, our homework packets have changed. Math has stayed the same (2 practice pages) but Language Arts has been scaled down to fit on one page and students are required to attach their proof of work to receive full credit. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.

Also, please be sure to check online grades. Parents were given access to our grades books at the beginning of the school year. This is a great way to see how your child is doing in class. If your need your access information please see Sarah in the office.

Enjoy the weekend!

Thank you, 

Miss. Maciel
