KA Weekly Update 1/27

Hello KA Parents,

Happy Catholic Schools Week!  I always love Catholic Schools Week; it is so encouraging to think of the thousands of Catholic schools nationwide that are celebrating their faith, service, and knowledge together this week. I hope to see many of you on Sunday at mass and at the SMM Open House!  If students wear their uniform to mass this Sunday, they can wear free dress to school on Monday.  The SMM Open House is a fun opportunity to visit all of the classrooms, meet the other teachers, and see what students in other grades have been working on!  Bring a neighbor or friend and show them what our school is all about too!

Each day of Catholic Schools Week has its own theme:

  • Monday: Community Day- we will be making Valentine cards to be given to residents of a local nursing home
  • Tuesday: Student Day- we will have a special movie break in class
  • Wednesday: Vocation Day- we will have a special guest speaker in the church following mass
  • Thursday: Special Person Day and Distinguished Graduate Day.  Your child may have a special person visit our classroom at 1:15, and then we will all go to the church for the Distinguished Graduate Assembly at 1:45.  Please let Mrs. White know if your child will have a special person visiting!
  • Friday: Service Day- SVDP food drive (spaghetti) and Free Dress

This coming week we will be focusing on the letter Hh and the sight word “are.”  In math, we will be introducing subtraction!  In science and social studies we will be learning about groundhogs, and the tradition of Groundhog Day.  In religion we will be learning more about what makes Catholic schools unique and special, and also learning about different religious vocations.

Upcoming dates:

Feb. 14th– KA will have a Valentines Party at the end of the day.  (Please see separate email from room parents regarding sign-ups).  Students are encouraged to bring Valentines cards; if your child brings Valentines, they must bring one for everyone in the class.  We have 20 students.

Feb. 21 and 22- No school. Presidents Day/Mid-winter break

Feb. 23- KA will celebrate the 100th day of school!  This is a super fun day of 100 themed games, snacks, activities, and even costumes!  If your child chooses, he/she can dress up like they are 100 years old!  More info. to come.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know!

Mrs. White is so excited for another great year in KA! She has been at SMM since 2014, and has been teaching in Catholic schools since 2002. Over the years, Mrs. White has taught many grade levels and subjects, but kindergarten is her absolute favorite! She loves being part of the early learning process and seeing the amazing connections that kindergarteners make every day. Mrs. White graduated with a BA in education and history from CWU (go Wildcats!) and earned a M.Ed. from Seattle U (go Redhawks!) She lives in Everett with her husband and two sons. Some of Mrs. White's favorites, in no particular order: Dogs, Chocolate, Hiking, Books, and Snow!
