MAP Testing

The week of September 3 and 9 we will be taking our first MAP (measurement of academic progress) testing in both Reading and Math. 

This is a standard test that is used as one of the many tools that help us measure your kindergarteners growth.  We will be doing this assessment again in the Winter and then again in the Spring.  

You will receive your child's summary of all three tests at the end of the school year.

Walk A Thon

WHEN: September 25
WHERE: Holland Christian Track (located at the Middle School)
TIME: 1-2 PM

We are excited to participate in Holland Christian's Annual Walk A Thon event. This is a great opportunity for our PreK-5th grade students to get outside to walk, run, skip, or hop around for 45 minutes to raise funds for our classrooms and/or building.

Walk-A-Thon envelopes will come home in your children's folder this week. Please make sure that you return the envelope with your raised funds in your child's folder.

Walk-A-Thon is our only elementary fundraiser for the school year.

We are able to fund our Rose Park Ranch, Playscape, and other initiatives throughout the year for our children thanks to the funds raised through this event!

Your student will be receiving a T-Shirt for this event.  PLEASE keep this shirt somewhere safe as we will be wearing them again for the Spring Program.

Library Starts This Week

Every Thursday afternoon our class will be visiting the school library to borrow TWO books to bring home and share with family. You are welcomed to keep the books for the week or if you would like to bring them back on the next school day you may.

When your kindergartener returns their book to school - they will need to take them out of their backpack and put them in the crate outside our classroom door.

If your child forgets to turn in their books, they will need to wait to check out any new books until all the previous books are returned.

Lunch Choices

 Every day when your Kindergarten comes into the room they will need to make their lunch choice.  I will have their lunch cards laid out on the counter and they need to place their card in the pocket chart that tells me what they will be having for lunch.  Here are their choices:

There will also be a pocket for Home Lunch.  If they need milk with their home lunch then they will need to put their card in the MILK pocket.  

I will be going through this procedure with the students the first week of school to help them get used to this procedure.

Family Photo Needed

 

You can also text or email me one of your family and I will print it off or you can bring in a 4x6 photo during the Open House.  I have frames that I will be putting the picture in and then placing them on our family tree in the classroom.
