Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a nice weekend. We have now completed our third week of school. I have tried to talk to all of you informally. However, if I have not contacted you, I will do so this week. This week I will have to start enforcing the rules that have been set. If the children do not follow the rules, they will have to sit on the wall for about three minutes. I know that isn’t much, but for a kindergarten child it can be an eternity. If you have any questions regarding this, let me know.
This week we will work with the story From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. Along with this book, we will keep working with our letters and sounds. We also concentrate on rhyming words. This is an important skill to learn because it helps with the reading. In math, we will work with graphing, patterning and reinforcing the numbers. During our circle time, we will talk about our community helpers. Our Bible lessons will be “John, God’s Worker,” “Jesus Is Baptized,” and “Jesus Says No to Sin and the Devil.” From these lessons we will learn that Jesus came to this earth to take our punishment for sin.
On Wednesday of this week, we will have picture day. Please send the envelope back to school with your choice of the package that you want to receive. If you do not want any pictures, still send the envelope back marked no pictures. This will help with the organization on that day. If you do not like your child’s pictures, there will be retakes sometime later in the year.
This year we have a very special helper coming in to assist the children with fine motor skills. She is Ginger Neven, Sierra’s mother. We are grateful to have her expertise in this area. She will only be here on Tuesday mornings, but we will try to work on the skills that she suggests throughout the week.
On September 28, we will sing in the late service. Please mark that date on your calendar so that all of our class can help us sing praises to Jesus in our service.
Again, if you have not taken the “Keeping Our Kids Safe” class, please do so soon. This class is a requirement for anyone who wants to chaperone on our field trips or help out in the classroom. Check the web site for the dates when it is offered.
I hope you have a great week.
Mrs. Kronebusch
