Hello KA Families,
Lent is here! What does your family do to recognize this important liturgical season? Students received Rice Bowls through Catholic Relief Services, and have been encouraged to do some extra chores at home to earn some coins for the Rice Bowl collection. Rice Bowls can be returned to church during Lent, or to the classroom. We will make sure all Rice Bowl collections are turned in by Palm Sunday.
KA will be attending the “Living Stations of the Cross” with the school on Good Friday. Our kindergarten class is looking forward to joining the rest of the school for weekly Wednesday masses after Easter in the new church! When we attend mass after Easter, we will sit with our 6th grade buddies.
Next week in KA, we will focus on the letter Kk and the sight words “little” and “said”. (We are also practicing “this” and “what” which are sometimes tricky words to remember!) In math, we are working on larger numbers, including teens, twenties, and beyond. We will also begin addition in March! “Read Across America” Day is Monday March 2. Students are invited to bring books from home to read in class, and they may also bring a (small) pillow or blanket to cuddle up with while they read.
Please note Mrs. White and Mrs. Geppert check homework each Friday, please make sure your child is completing the assigned activities!
Coming Up:
- “Read Across America” Day is Monday March 2. Students are invited to bring books from home to read in class, and they may also bring a (small) pillow or blanket to cuddle up with while they read.
- Save the date! Our Fire Station field trip is scheduled for Tuesday May 12th. If you would like to drive/chaperone please let me know ahead of time! Thank you in advance.
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!
