Week Two Update!

 Hello Everyone! 

We are having a WONDERFUL week of Kindergarten so far. We have been so busy working hard, learning lots, and having fun! I just wanted to make you all aware that I sent home your Back to School Night Folders with your children today. Mrs. Hopkins will be posting a link for you on our school website for you to watch our teacher made videos as well. They will be posted online by 7:00 pm this evening. 

In your child's homework folder you will find our September reading log. I discuss this in my video but that is not due back until October 2nd. Your child can color an apple for every book that they read, or if one is read to them that counts as well. Even looking through pictures and making predictions for a story is a part of reading too. :)

Also one last reminder that tomorrow you may order pizza lunch for your child if you'd like. The cost is $3 cash only and they will receive two slices. If interested in ordering, please send in a labeled envelope in your child's homework folder. 

Thank you so much for your time & attention. I am greatly looking forward to ending out this week with your awesome children.

Have a wonderful evening, God Bless!

Love & Prayers,

Mrs. Tironi
