We have begun learning to read and write Red Words.
(the) and (a) this week
Please keep in mind that writing (spelling) them is typically a harder task. Your child would benefit from any review and practice you can with our Red Words that will come home each week.
There will be 45+ words this year.

🎈 Happy 6th birthday on Sunday! 🧁
Several families have asked how they can help.
Dry clean shoes are very helpful so that the wet boots or shoes can go in your child's locker.
This helps keep our carpets dry & clean.
Your child is welcome to keep a second pair of shoes here at school,
so they do not have to be carried home each day.
It would also be greatly appreciated if you could visit PowerSchool and check to be sure you have entered an emergency contact other than the parent information.
We will always contact parents first, but really wish to have a separate contact when you can not be reached, thanks!
Coming up this week:
Monday: Bus Safety
Tuesday: Field trip to Pumpkin Valley Farm (weather pending).
Please dress your child in layers with appropriate footwear for the weather. If possible it is helpful if your child wears their kindergarten t-shirt. If you did not order a bag lunch, please be sure to pack a snack, lunch, and your child's water bottle for this trip. We will eat snack & lunch at the farm.
We are all excited for this trip!
Wednesday: Celebrating another class birthday! 🎈 😍
If you wish to be a chaperone for a field trip at any point this year, please be sure all your requirements are up to date, thank you! 💕
