Update for the Week of September 20th

We had a wonderful time sharing and learning about each other during Show-N-Tell last week! 

This week we will formally begin our Fundations lessons.  We introduced to the letter “t” last week.  This week we will learn the letter sound for and formation of the letters “b” and “f.” In our Journeys Literature Series we will explore the Essential Question: What is the same about all families?,  practice rhyming words, and learn our first High Frequency Word, “I.”  In Math we will practice counting, comparing and writing numbers 0 to 5. We will begin our Religion lessons with the theme, Welcomes Are Good. Each Monday we will have a lesson in social-emotional learning.  The topic this week is how to show we are paying attention. 

KIndergarten Uniform

The kindergarten uniform consists of blue shorts, pants, skort, and a white/light blue/dark blue golf shirt with OR without the St Bernadette logo.  The only sweaters allowed to be worn in the classroom are the blue school sweater WITH the St Bernadette logo or you may order the ¼ zip St Bernadette pullover sweatshirt.  The children may wear sneakers every day in kindergarten or a standard school show with rubber soles.  

The children must wear the official school Gym uniform on gym days.  You may order the uniform on the school website or contact Sports Specialities for more information.  I know the uniforms are slowly being delivered to school so if you are waiting for your order your child may wear their regular school uniform on gym day with sneakers.

Reminders

Please label all school sweaters/sweatshirts as they all look exactly alike and get mixed up very easily.

Please send in a filled water bottle each day.

Upcoming Events

Picture Day - Tuesday, October 12th - uniforms are required, forms will be sent home

Update for the Week of September 13th

We had a great week in Kindergarten!!!  The children were busy learning our classroom routine and schedule, working on Math and Phonics skills, meeting our Specials teachers and having as much time out in the fresh air as possible.

This week we will get to know each other better with a special “All About Me” Show and Tell, work with numbers 0 to 5 and begin some FUNdations phonics activities.  

All About Me Show and Tell

You received a note last week with the day/date of your child’s Show and Tell.  On that day please send in 2 small items that will help us get to know your child.  The items could be a favorite book, a family picture or something describing a hobby.
