We have been busy learning about Thanksgiving, Pilgrims, and Indians. I have really enjoyed seeing all of the "Tom the Turkey's". I know the kids are enjoying seeing them come in as well. Thanks for helping your child complete their project. I have taken a picture of each one to put in your child's portfolio that will be sent home at the end of the year.
Don't forget there is no homework until December 4th. Please keep reading with your child daily. I am sending out a weekly newsletter this week, but I will not be sending out another weekly newsletter (homework cover sheet) until then either.
Our Parkside Food Drive is under way. Feel free to send in non-perishable food items with your child between now and December 17th.
Student Success and Slippers is on December 3rd. It is a great event for the entire family. Children get to come to school that night dressed in their p.j.'s and with their favorite stuffed animal. They get to listen to stories and eat milk & cookies. Adults get to go to the gym and learn about our math curriculum and strategies to help your child be successful in math. I will be there to present the kindergarten portion to parents. Hope to see you there!
Our Winter Sharing Program is already less than a month away. All day kindergarten will be performing both at 8:30 (with 1st grade) and 1:35 (with 2nd grade). Please be respectful to all families by picking only one of the times to attend. We have limited seating and want to make sure everyone gets to see their special someone.
Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving next week!
