K2 Kindergarten Note

February 2, 2009


Dear Parents,
Thank you all for coming in and talking to me about your child’s progress. I do take everything that you say to heart and I value your input. As a whole, this class has many gifts and it is a pleasure to be able to see them use their talents. Remember if you have any concerns, please email, call or talk to me as soon as possible. I like to stay on top of things and with your help it is possible. I did receive most of the report card envelopes. If you have not returned yours, please do so.
This week we will be reading the story Honk! Honk! A Story of Migration by Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom. Along with this story we will be working with the letter G. I also have two more words to add to your list. They are ‘my’ and ‘we.’ In math, we will break for one day to observe and count to one hundred in observance of the 100th day of school. Otherwise, we will continue to work with our addition. During our circle time, we will talk about the organs of our body and how God made them special to keep us healthy. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Raises Lazarus” and “Zaccheus.” From these lessons we will learn that Jesus shows concern for others while on his way to die.
I am passing out the book order forms. You are not required to purchase any books. However, I thought perhaps since your child is reading you might want to have some books around at home. Please have the orders into me by Friday and make your checks out to Scholastic Books.
I am asking the people whose last names begin with the letter N-Z to supply items for the Valentines party. Please check the list on the door to see what items you might be interested in bringing. Thank you. I also gave you a list of the names of the children last week. If you have misplaced it, let me know. Our party will be Friday, February 13 from 10:15-11:45. If you would like to join us, that would be great.
As you may have noticed, our school will not be in session from February 16-20. We will observe president’s day and also have a teacher’s conference during that week. Enjoy the week off.
I hope all of you have a great week. Again, thanks for coming in to talk with me.
Mrs. Kronebusch
