Dear Kindergarten Families,

This week in Kindergarten, we will be finishing friendship projects.  Also, we will be centers on Tuesday focused around love and friendship.  Please remember to NOT write the names of each student on the "to" portion.  Just have your child write their name on the "from" portion. We have 22 students in our class

Word of the Week: "friend"

In Social Studies, we will learn about Presidents.  We will talk about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  We will also learn about the Lunar New Year.

Next Tuesday, please look for your child's first book from our new "Just Right Readers" take-home program. There is also a letter that explains this reading program. The students have been practicing these new books in class and I am VERY impressed with their abilities. So for now, just enjoy listening to them read each day! There is no rush to finish each book.  Please focus on fluency and comprehension.  It's not a race to the finish line and we really want the students to feel confident when reading their book.  Please return it whenever your child is ready to move on to a slightly harder book.
.
Enjoy the long weekend,

Cathy Werner
