Tuesday, January 21st

We have a 2-hour delay start tomorrow. The buses will adjust their route accordingly. Car line will adjust by 2 hours as well. Our lunch time is not delayed. We will still eat lunch at 10:20, so if possible, please have your child eat breakfast at home before 8:00, so they'll be hungry again at 10:20. Thank you!

Tomorrow is the 100th Day of School! I am looking forward to teaching a class full of 100-year-olds tomorrow! See last Thursday's post for all of the details. 

Please return the Vision Screening form in your child's folder tomorrow. 

During the next two weeks, we will be studying Zz, Kk, and short e during 95% Phonics. Please click this link to read about more activities you can do with your child: 95% Phonics Lesson 13 In the letter, it asks you to listen to your child read this week's story. Click this link to access the story: The Red Hat (I don't know why they chose to include the word gem in this story because it does not follow the phonics progression we've learned so far in their phonics program. The g says /j/ in gem. This is confusing to most Kindergarten students, so feel free to tell your child this word and move on.)

The PTA is hosting a Winter Spiritwear Sale. The flyer is in your child's folder today.

I want to encourage you to have your child start writing their valentine cards. Writing a few a day will help your child not have hand cramps. Thank you! 

Chick-fil-a is sponsoring a district-wide contest. If you go to either of the Madison Chick-fil-a restaurants between January 21 and February 21, please send your receipt to school in your child's blue daily folder. We will add it to the classroom collection box. The top class will receive an IceDream Party with the Chick-fil-a cow and the top school in the district will receive $1000 for their PTA.
