Reminder from 2nd Semester Parent Night-Please continue to work on learning the Kindergarten sight words and addition and subtraction facts with your child. Remember a great way to work on these skills is with flashcards. Another great way to help your child read smoothly, accurately, and with expression is to give them 10 minutes of your undivided attention and listen to them read the passages in the Green Practice Folder. The more your child practices their reading skills, the better a reader he/she will become.

This is the subtraction video Mrs. Hester spoke about at Parent Night. She made this video to share tips for understanding the 21 subtraction facts. You can use this video two ways. First, watch the video and use the information while helping your child with subtraction facts. Then, you can have your child watch the video.  Subtraction Video These are the strategies we've taught for knowing the subtraction facts fluently: Strategies to Master Subtraction Facts

As we move through the flu season, we want to ensure that our students and staff stay as healthy as possible. Recently, we have seen an increase in flu cases, and many students are coming to school with deep coughs, runny noses, and sneezing. Some students with the flu do not run a fever. Unfortunately, young children often struggle to properly cover their coughs and sneezes, which leads to the spread of germs throughout the classroom. To help keep everyone healthy, please keep your child home if they are experiencing flu-like symptoms, such as fever, persistent cough, excessive runny nose, or body aches. Resting at home not only helps them recover more quickly but also prevents the illness from spreading to others. We appreciate your support in keeping our school a safe and healthy place for learning. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students well!
