Weekly Update 5/9

Hello KA Parents,

Our ABC countdown to summer begins tomorrow (Thursday) with the letter A; A is for art.  Tomorrow your child will bring home a special Mother’s day project.  We have also been working on beautiful Mary shrines for the month of May.  These will stay at school to be displayed by the office next week.

Next week in reading, we will be reviewing the letters Jj, Qq, Yy and Zz.  We will also review the sight words “my”, “with”, “me” and “where”.  In math, we will be working on larger numbers and counting by 2s and 5s.  In science, we are comparing living and non-living things.  Next Friday (May 18th), we will go outside with our 6th grade buddies to cheer on the students in 1st-3rd grade who will be running in the regional track meet after lunch.

*Important Reminders:

  • With the warm weather, and our warm classroom, it is very important that students have a refillable water bottle to drink from in the classroom every day!  Please make sure to send one!
  • Also, please make sure to label all uniform sweatshirts and vest with your student’s name!

Save the dates!

Thursday June 14th– 11:00 am- KA celebration brunch: this will be a special day with songs, student presentations, awards, and brunch!  Please plan on attending this special brunch in our class! We want to make sure each student has at least one special parent or family member in attendance.  Please let Mrs. White know how many family members will attend, so we can plan for enough chairs, etc.

Friday June 15th– 9:30 am- End of year prayer service: this assembly in the church will feature special prayers and songs sung by the students of KA and KB.

White, Katie

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!
