Kindergarten is Kool!

Thank you for a great first, FULL week of Kindergarten! Who is more tired...the students, parents, or teachers?

Today, we had a visit from a muscian, Kevin Kidd, who played his guitar and sang some silly songs for us. The children had a wonderful time. There is just something very special about hearing children laugh! Warning: You may hear your children singing songs about stinky socks and underwear!

We have been learning about a zoo animal for every letter of the alphbet. This is also our science lesson as we learn a lot of facts about each animal. Ask your child to tell you about mammals, carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. 

Fundraising packets were recently sent home. SELL, SELL, SELL those magazines, City Saver Books, and Smart Cards! Money raised from sales will go right back to EHCS to purchase items for our school, including your child's classroom. Tuesday, August 25th will be the last turn in date.

We will be sending home the Sight Words for this 9 week period on Monday. When your child has mastered a list, please sign it and return to school. If your child is struggling with the words, just work on a few at a time. 
Please remember that these are words that they should learn by sight. They do not need to sound them out and should not memorize them in order, as we have them read them to us from flashcards, not the list. 

Thank you parents for all you do to support us!!
