Parent University!

Our third Parent University session is happening this Thursday, April 30th from 6 PM – 7:30 PM. I will be sharing some of the ways we are using technology in our classroom to redefine learning for the 21st Century. You’ll enjoy hearing from students about this new way of gaining and sharing knowledge. It’s just the beginning of many more amazing educational adventures for students in the digital age!

Welcome Back!

Hello Kindergarten Families and Friends.

I am looking forward to seeing you all again on Tuesday morning.  I have so much to tell you and I want to hear all about your vacation time.

Thursday evening is a special event called Parent University from 6 PM – 7:30 PM. I will be sharing information about technology in the classroom.  You will be able to hear how students are using devices, apps, and websites to enhance the learning process and develop 21st Century skills. The world is changing and it is my goal to help parents and students get on board this fast moving train of digital learning.

Read-a-thon

bookstackOn Tuesday March 3rd, we will be participating in a school-wide Read-a-thon to raise money for special projects.  We will spend a good portion of our day enjoying some great stories and counting how many pages we finish. Students are encouraged to bring a favorite book to share.  Please help your kindergartner talk to family and friends to ask for donations.  Pledges can be a flat rate or per page.  An envelope for collecting pledges was sent home today.  Please return it next week.  Thank you in advance for your support!

Off to Never Land!

peterpanWe are all set for a lovely walk to Never Land at Franklin HS tomorrow.  We will leave at 9:15 AM.  The play ends right about 11:00 AM so we will be back at school as fast as our short legs can carry us. 🙂

Leave your backpacks at home.  We will not have time for a snack, so be sure to eat a good breakfast.

Chaperones, please be in our room by 9:00 AM.

URGENT NOTICE

Dear Kindergarten Families,

I am so very sorry to announce that I am postponing our 100th Day Celebration.  I have only received 10 of the 24 donations needed for our party.  The donations were due by today so I could prepare our materials in advance.  I cannot possibly do preparations during our party.  If you do not remember what item was requested, please check your child’s backpack for the original note.  If you don’t find it, I can look on my master list for you.  If you are unable to provide that item, please let me know so I can find a suitable substitute.  Our schedule is very full so we will try again with our party on Wednesday, March 11th.  Classroom helpers will be most welcome.

OTHER IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Wednesday Feb 25th Permission slips and $5.oo donation are due.  Half the class is ready to go.  Please let me know if your child will NOT be going.  I will have to cancel the trip if I do not receive completed permission slips from EVERY student.  LATE ITEMS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Thursday Feb 26th is Picture Day
Thursday Feb 26th Homework and pages and folder are due
Friday Feb 27th Field Trip to Franklin High School for Peter Pan.  We leave at 9:15 AM and return at 11:20 AM.

Thank you in advance for helping me make lemonade out of lemons.

Mrs. Petuya

Special Assignments

Hello Families,

I thought I should check in with a quick reminder about some special assignments that are due soon.

1. Be sure to finish up that extra special valentine heart for your child.  We’d like to read them to the class this Friday.

2. Our 100th Day Celebration will be on the 25th.  Your child needs your assistance to collect exactly 100 items that will fit in the plastic bag that was sent home in the homework folder.
