Week of January 11th- Virtual Learning Begins!

 

Hello Wonderful Kindergarten Families,

Please see the emails that have been sent to you this weekend that will provide you with all your child's specific information they will need as we begin this Virtual Kindergarten Adventure together! We will be using our Google Classroom as our main hub for assignments, links, and directions, along with continuing to use Dojo for our communications. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time if you have any questions. Please check the daily schedule for our Virtual Learning Schedule to see specific times for our meetings, both small groups and whole groups. 

I know this is not the ideal situation for any of us, but I am looking forward to a new format of learning with this amazing class and I am confident we will continue to keep making great strides together. I cannot wait to see all your smiling faces tomorrow morning on our first  Meet. 

We've got this Kindergarten! Stay healthy & God Bless! See you at 8:00! :)

Love & Prayers Always,
Mrs. Tironi 

Week of January 4th

 

Hello & Happy New Year! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break. It is so great to be back in school with the children again, I missed them all so much. I am very excited for this new year ahead. 

We are going to be having our Christmas celebrations this week. Yesterday we sent home the parent gifts the children made you, along with the gifts from Mrs. Nowel & I. On Wednesday it is our “Who-Ville” Dress Down Day, students may come to school tomorrow dressed in Christmas-y, themed attire similar to the characters from the Grinch! We will be doing a celebration that  afternoon and students will take home their goody bags, thank you all again for those donations. :)

This Friday is pizza lunch and school store, please send in $ in a labeled baggie/envelope on Friday morning if you’d like to order. Exact change is appreciated when possible, and please label in advance what school store snack your child would like as this makes it easier for Mrs. Nowel to purchase them. 

Kindergarten conferences are coming up at the end of this month. They will be held virtually on Wednesday, January 27th and Thursday, January 28th. I will be sending out a Sign Up Genius this week for you to select a time slot that works best for you on either of those two days. I look forward to meeting with you all to discuss your wonderful children! I can’t believe we are halfway through Kindergarten already. :(

Here are the themes/concepts we are focusing on this week:

1) Reading/Language Arts/Phonics:

- Letters & Sounds- Creating CVC words with short vowels  

-Sight Words- color words this week
