Week of 9/8/26

 

Hello amazing K families! I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. I am so excited to kick off a longer week with this incredible class. 

Here is our first weekly update, please read all the important info & reminders below 🙂

1) Our Farm Field Trip is officially confirmed for Wednesday, September 30th. A very important packet is coming home today in homework folders with all the information for you. Please read the letter and return the permission slip (and chaperone form if interested) no later than next Friday, Sept. 18th. 

2) Tomorrow & Thursday are gym days- please make sure your child wears their gym uniforms & sneakers those days each week. 

3) The GREEN paper folders that were given out last week during our orientation are for you to keep at home- the only folder that should be coming back & forth each day from home to school is our homework folder. (Next month our reading folders will go home as well). I have labeled them as well so you will see “return to school/important info” on the right side and then “keep at home” on the left side. 

4) This Thursday night is Back to School Night for the big school grades 1-8. Since Pre-K & K already had our orientation and information sessions last week, our classes will NOT be attending B2SN. However you are more than welcome to still attend the opening presentation in the gym with our new principal Mrs. Reback and the HSA beginning at 7:00 pm. 

5) This Friday is Picture Day. Students must be in uniform and they will all be photographed. These pictures will be used for the school yearbook as well. If you’d like to order pictures, please fill out the form sent home last week or online sent thru parent square as well. All students will be photographed regardless of purchasing as these are the photos used in the yearbook.

6) Next Monday, September 14th we will be kicking off our ABC Bootcamp Program! Tomorrow I will be sending home the calendar with the dates & info for your reference as well. 

7) Please make sure all articles of clothing are labeled (sweatshirts, jackets, etc.) especially as we enter the layering weather when it is cooler mornings and warmer afternoons- all uniforms are the same so it can get very confusing at pack up time 😆

8)  One last reminder, I know we are all still transitioning to the beginning of the year and being in a new school year and adjusting to the schedule but please try to ensure your child eats something for breakfast each day. We do try to adjust our schedule to have our snack a bit earlier than normal in the beginning of the year but with our specials schedule as well it can be tricky to fit it in too early. Typically we have snack around 9:30/9:45ish and lunch is not until 11:55 am, so breakfast and hearty snacks are crucial for these incredible, smart, growing children! Thank you for your support! 

Here are our themes/concepts coming up for the week ahead:

1) Reading/Language Arts/Phonics/Handwriting:

• Beginning of Year Assessments 

• Handwriting Skill: Pencil Grasp, Paper Position, Writing Lines, Handwriting House- Capital & Lowercase Letters 

2) Mathematics:

• Sorting Chapter Begins 

3) Religion:

• Learning our Prayers & Talking to God

• Story of Creation- God Gave Us the World

4) Social Studies:

-School Rules & Procedures 

-Being a Bucket Filler 

-Citizenship Unit- We Are a Family & We Try Our Best!

5) Science:

• Five Senses Unit 

Thank you for your time, please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you all have a wonderful week. 

God Bless!

Love & Prayers,

Mrs. Tironi
