Hello Everyone! Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful winter vacation. Words cannot express how
happy & excited I am to be back today with our amazing class. I missed
them all so very much and was so sad to be out sick the last days before
Christmas. We are going to have an amazing celebration today to make up
for it, please keep an eye out for some great pictures of all our fun!! :)
Please see below for info about the week ahead:
1) Reading Folders are coming home today with our new weekly AND monthly
assignments. Weekly work is due back on Friday or Monday. Please work
with your child on the New Years paper in their packet to help them come
up with answers to the questions about themselves and also have them color
it if possible. We will be sharing them as a class beginning next week. :)
2) Please save the date for our Kindergarten Parent Teacher Conferences,
which will be taking place on Wednesday, January 25th and Friday, January
27th. Please see the Sign Up Genius below to select your time slot for your
conference. Conferences will be held in person in the small office located at
the church.
If none of the times or dates work for you,- or you prefer to meet virtually
or via phone call, please do not hesitate to reach out to me and we can try
to reschedule something that works better. I am greatly looking forward to
meeting with you all to discuss your amazing children! :)
