Dear Parents,
Thank you all for coming and bringing your child to sing on Sunday. The children did a beautiful job of praising Jesus through their song. If you were not able to make it, I need a written note excusing your child from the singing. Thank you.
This week we will be reading the story Big and Little by Margaret Miller. Along with this story, we will be working with the letters L, U, X, and F. We have been practicing the blending as well with the children. They are really very good at this and I have a hunch that many of them are ready to read. In math, we will work with the numbers one through five. We will also work with the different shapes and patterns. During our circle time, we will talk about the seasons and concentrate on fall. If your child sees some neat leaves that are turning colors, let them bring them in to share. We will all be able to enjoy them that way. Our Bible lessons will be “Nicodemus” and “Jesus and the Woman at the Well.” From these lessons we will learn how Jesus teaches others that He is the Messiah.
I sent home a form last week concerning parent teacher conferences. I have not received all of them. Please send them back to school before Wednesday. We will be assigning conference times at the teacher’s meeting. Thank you.
We will have many special days in October and the first one will be our field trip. We will be going on October 16 to the pumpkin patch. I know that I said we would go on October 9, but because of the parent-teacher consultations, I think it would be better if we waited a week. The cost of this trip will be $7.00 per person.
On October 23 and 24, we will have another fun event. Your child will have the opportunity to perform on stage prior to the musical done by the children in grades one through three. Please mark that date on your calendar and let any special friends or relatives know that your child will be there. We love to have visitors that evening.
As you noticed, I sent home the beach towels. They needed to be laundered. Please send them back to school so that we can use them on Tuesday.
I am sending home the book orders today. Please do not feel obligated to buy any books. I only do this as an opportunity for you parents to increase your child’s library. If you do order, the checks should be made out to Scholastic Books. All orders must be in by Friday. Thank you.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!

K2 Note for week of Septemer 22, 2008
September 22, 2008
Dear Parents,
We are already into our fifth week of school and I must say the time has gone by quickly. I do notice that the children are settling into school now and seem to be able to listen for longer lengths of time. That is a good thing. Now, I am going to start working on the blending (sounding out words) with the children. Some of them are very sharp and get it easily. Others, will need more practice. We will keep working on it.
This week we will read the story Mice Squeak, We Speak by Tomie de Paola. We will also work with the letters I, O, Q, Z, and K. I noticed that many of you have been working on the color words. Good job! It will help later on. In math, we will work with the pattern blocks. During our circle time, we will talk about apples. I hope we can taste different kinds and compare which apples are our class favorites and which are not. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Changes Water into Wine” and “Jesus Makes a Sick Boy Well.” From these lessons we will learn how Jesus’ first miracles showed that he is God.
On Thursday of this week, we will be having the vision screening. I hope this goes through. If not, they will reschedule.
On Sunday, September 28, we will be singing in the late (11:15) service. Please have your child come to the kindergarten room by 11:00 to warm up. Once we have gone through the song a few times, we will dismiss the children to sit with the parents. When it is time to sing, they will be called up to the front to sing their song. After they are finished singing, they will sit with you again. If you will not be here for the singing, please write me a note excusing your child. I must turn them into Mr. Luehring.
I would tentatively like to go to the pumpkin patch on October 9. I know many of you have taken the “Keeping Our Kids Safe” class. But, if you have not and you want to come on this field trip, you can still attend the class this evening at 6:15. This will be the last class. I will not let anyone who has not taken the class accompany us on the field trip. Please do not put me in this awkward position of having to say no to someone. I want everyone to be able to come. Thank you.
I believe that is all. Have a great week!

K2 Note for week ofSeptemer 14, 2008
September 15, 2008
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.

K2 Class note 9 9 08
September 8, 2008
Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a nice weekend. As the weeks of school come and go, I hope that you notice you are falling into a routine. We are here in the classroom. I know things will just get better and better as time goes by. Since we do have two weeks of school in already, I will be talking to you casually about how your child is fitting into the classroom. This will not be a formal meeting, but I want you to know what I have observed thus far. Please don’t be worried. This class has many positive things going for them and your child just adds his or her own spice to the mix.
This week we will read the book The Wheels on the Bus illustrated by Irene Richards. We will also work briefly with the letters T, B, R, Y, and G. Along with all of this, we will add the remaining color words to the ones that we sent home last week. Please review these words with your child. Even if you go through them once a day, that is excellent. Eventually, we will need to know the words by sight. Please keep these words in a special spot. If you have thrown the others away, let me know and I will get you a new set. For math, we will work with the numbers one through ten. During our circle time, we will talk about community helpers. Our Bible lessons will be “God Keeps Jesus Safe from Herod” and “Twelve Year Old Jesus.” From these lessons we will see how God cared for his special son.
Today, your child received a hearing screening. Again, if you did not get a notice, assume that everything was fine. The vision screening was cancelled last week. I guess the company that would have normally come, cancelled at the last moment. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
The children love to bring in sharing and it really is good for them to do so. I would ask that they bring in one item per week. They don’t have to bring it on Friday either. Whenever they have sharing, they should tell me at the beginning of the day so that I can allow enough time for them. If you have any questions, let me know.
The “Keeping Our Kids Safe” classes are coming to a close. Please
make sure that you attend one of them. The next class is tonight at 7:15 PM. Remember, you will not be allowed to accompany the children on the field trips unless you have this class. I believe there is one more class after that this week, but you will have to check the web page for the information.
The kindergarten children will be singing on September 28 in the late service. Please mark that date on your calendar.
I believe that is all. Have a great week!

September 2nd Class Note
September 2, 2008
Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a relaxing weekend. The first week of school was especially tough due to the heat. However, I did notice some very nice things happening. I was impressed as to how well the children welcomed the new students. I also thought they did a fine job of listening to me and Miss Beutel. I know things will just improve from this point. Thank you for your support as we start this school year.
This week we will work with the book Mary Wore Her Red Dress. We will also try to get familiar with the color words. I am sending home the words on flashcards. If you have time, please go through them so that your child starts to recognize the words by sight. In math, we will continue to introduce the children to different manipulatives used in the classroom. We will also learn to write the numbers one through zero. For circle time, we will go through more safety procedures here at school. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus the Savior Is Born,” “The Shepherds Learn that Jesus Is Born,” and “The Wise Men.” From these lessons we will see how the Savior’s birth brought joy.
Our hot lunch program and our milk program will be starting this week. Please note that the milk will be served at 10:20 AM. During this time the children will be able to eat a light snack. At lunch time, they will need an extra drink unless you are ordering hot lunch. If you wanted to have your child receive hot lunch, but did not order ahead of time, you will have to pay extra. I will see how this goes during the week and then I will help you from that point. If you have further questions, please follow the links on our website.
On Thursday, September 4, we will have our vision screening. I will assume that no news is good news. If you have questions, call the office.
Some of the children still need their earthquake kits. Please try to get those in by Friday. Also, don’t forget the water bottles. We really need those during the warm days.
Again, we sing on September 28 at the late service. Please mark that date on your calendar.
Thank you for all of your hard week in getting prepared for school. I hope this week goes well for you.
