Tomorrow is the first day of our last trimester in Kinder. All kinder teachers will begin to encourage and look for student's first and last name on their work. Many students in my class already know how to write their last name which is great. It would be awesome to have 100% of the class writing their first and last name.
Please be sure to check your child's backpack everyday to clean it out and look at important papers.
Scholastic Book Orders
March Book catalogs have gone home. Even though there is deadline to submit orders, feel free to order books online whenever you would like. As soon as you place an order, let me know so I can approve it. The system is no longer notifying teachers when there is a new order.
Scholastic Books-not only do they have monthly books for $1, but you help the class earn point to purchase books. Feel free to place an order using the link below and use our classroom identification code. Book orders are usually delivered in a week and a half.
Classroom code: M9M7P
