Weekly Update 2/21

Hello KA Families,

We had such a great time celebrating the 100th day of school today!  Our students are 100 days smarter, 100 days stronger, and 100 days closer to being first graders!  Check out our pictures on the KA Instagram, kakindofday. 

Lent is nearly here!  Although our class will not be attending school masses until the church construction is complete after Easter this year, we will still be learning about Ash Wednesday and Lent in the classroom.  (Please note that if your family is attending one of the Ash Wednesday masses, and you would like your kindergartener to attend with you, you may sign them out and then back in at the office.  There are masses at 8:30 am, 11:00 am, 5:00 pm, and 7:00 pm.  The school mass is at 11:00 and will be quite crowded!)  We will look forward to joining the rest of the school for Wednesday masses after Easter in the new church!

Next week in KA, we will review the letters Ee, Bb and Ll, and the sight words “what” and “and”. In math, we are working on larger numbers, including teens, twenties, and beyond.  In religion we will be learning about Ash Wednesday and Lent.  Please note that February homework is due on Friday.  Mrs. White and Mrs. Geppert check homework each Friday.  New March Homework packet will be coming home on Friday 2/28.

Coming Up:

-2/21 Movie Night Tonight!  Toy Story 4 in Parish Hall at 6:00 pm.  Movie is free.  Food for sale, proceeds to go the drama club.

-2/25 Peace Day: students may wear their blue SMM Peace shirts, or regular uniform.

Classroom reminders:

Please make sure to let us know if your child is sick or has an appointment.  If your child will be missing school, you can use the attendance link on the SMM website  https://stmarym.org/tardyabsent/ OR you can email Mrs. White and c.c. Mrs. Lupian in the office.

Please remember our classroom is nut-free!  Please make sure your child has a weather-appropriate coat or jacket every day, and a refillable water bottle every day!  Thank you.

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!
