Happy 25th Week of Kindergarten! I'd like the thank you all again for all the birthday greetings and gifts! I am showered with love and gratitude as I celebrate another year of life.
This will be our last week of the 2nd Trimester, and Gradelink will be blocked on Friday, Feb 28 so that teachers can conclude their grades. You will not be able to view their grades until report cards are sent out and when the 3rd Trimester Begins!
Please carefully review this week's newsletter!
SAP HundredX Fundraiser! Our annual HundredX fundraiser kicked off today! This is a fun and easy opportunity that we can raise funds for our school without having to buy anything! Fill out as many surveys for different categories to earn $$ for our school! Last year, Kinder was one of the top classes -- let's WIN this year! Keep an eye out for emails from our PLC team regarding how to sign up and raise funds! Make sure you sign up for "KINDERGARTEN"!
Kindergarten Lenten Project We are partnering with 5th grade and Pauly's Project to create sets for the homeless. Kindergarten is asked to bring TRAVEL SIZED TOOTHBRUSHES AND TOOTHPASTE! I will be collecting items every day until March 5th!
Kindergarten Cap & Gown Orders Cap and Gown Orders are due by this Friday, 2/27. This is a mandatory order for our Kindergarten Promotion in June. This year we will be taking professional Cap and Gown photos on Thursday, March 26th with 8th Grade. Kindergarten students will need their own cap and gown for the photos -- I will be helping them put them on for the pictures and will help them store them nicely. Each set is $30, and must be settled with Mr. Aguilar! Please turn in your order form by Friday, 2/27 with the correct size!
Kindergarten Spelling Bee The school Spelling Bee will be in March, and Kindergarten must submit 2 winners! Last week, I sent home a Kindergarten Spelling Bee sheet that consists of CVC words and sight words. Please practice these words daily with your child so that the are prepared! I will be choosing 2 winners and 2 alternates for our School Spelling bee! On Wednesday, Feb 25 we will be having our class Spelling bee to determine our winners!
