KA Weekly Update 11/10

Hello KA Parents, and happy Veterans Day!

Thank you those that have already signed up to bring food for our KA Thanksgiving Feast! There is still room for more if you would like to sign up to bring a favorite food! I hope to see you there- Thursday Nov. 17th at 2:00 in the KA classroom.

Report cards went home today in your child’s backpack. Please sign the envelope and return.  You may keep the report card.  The progress that the students have already made in one quarter of school in kindergarten is remarkable!

The Thanksgiving food drive will continue next week- our class is collecting frosting!  Please consider donating!

Next week we will be learning about the first Thanksgiving, and doing many class projects to reflect and thankful for our many blessings.  We will be adding the letter Ii and the sight word “go.”

We will also begin to practice for the school Christmas program that is coming up on December 1st.  The school Christmas program is at the Everett Auditorium at 7:00 pm.  It is a dress-up occasion.  Please have your child wear dressy clothes.  The kindergarten classes sing near the beginning of the program.  Please save a seat for your child to sit with you after they sing.  (Alternately, if you do not have older siblings, some families with kindergarteners choose to leave after their songs, as it can be a late night.)  If for some reason your child will NOT be there for the Christmas program please let me know ahead of time.

Over the years, Mrs. White has taught many grade levels and subjects, but kindergarten is her absolute favorite!
