Today your child's Kindergarten CBM testing appointment was mailed to you. The testing will be done January 11, 12, and 13. Please make arrangements for your child to be at his/her assigned time. Return the bottom half of the note to school as soon as possible so I know if you are able to keep your time.
Remember to return reading folders and library books on Monday.
Hope everyone is having a fun and restful break!

One More Thing...
Also, there will be no school for kindergarteners on January 11, 12, and 13 for Winter CBM testing. This is the same testing we did at the kindergarten pre-assessment. After the break you will be assigned a time to bring your child in for the testing. The testing appointments will be 20 minutes long. A parent does not necessarily need to be there, so if you work during the day just arrange for someone else to bring your child to his/her appointment. Thanks!
Week of December 12-16
I will not send home reading books over the winter break. Sometimes they get packed up with holiday stuff and get lost! We will be sending home some fun homework activities to work on over the break and also remember to be reading every day and marking your reading folders. For the week of December 12-19 you should be marking week 12.

We are on week 3 for the Road to Success Reading Folders. Please remember to check the days you read with your child and initial the line before sending the folder to school. I give the students their Enter to Win slips on Mondays. The container where the slips go is in the hall between the two kindergarten classrooms if you would like to see how much everyone has read.
If you would like to help with our class Halloween party, let me know. The PM kindergarten classes will do their own parade during their class time so you don't need to bring your child for the school parade in the morning.

Week Of October 3-7
Please let me know if you are available to help in the classroom. I am in need of some more volunteers. Even if you can only come in once a month for an hour it would make a difference!
The Road To Success Reading Folders are due back to school every Monday. Just mark the days you read with your child and initial the line for week 1. If you read 5 days in one week, your child gets 1 enter to win slip for a bike. If you read 7 days they get 2 slips. Every grade has their own drawing this year!

If you have not signed up for the PTA, please stop by the office for an envelope. It is only $5 and all the money stays right here at Bella Vista. The class with the most participation receives a basket of school supplies!
To alleviate some of the congestion by the door after school, we will now meet parents by the big tree at the end of the lower parking lot.
Only two more weeks for snacks! Beginning in October the students will use all their recess time to play.
I am in need of a volunteer to teach Meet the Masters. This is a school wide art program. The lesson plans are already made and you will be trained by the PTA. The kindergarteners do four projects one in October, November, January and February. Our time for Meet the Masters is the 3rd Thursday of the month from 1:00-2:15. Please let me know if you would like to participate in this fun program.

Please remember to return the homework paper signed and your child's library books on Monday.
Plan to come to Math Box Night Wednesday September 14 at 7pm in the classroom. We will be handing out math boxes and learning how to use them. These math boxes will be used all year for homework. Please contact me if you are not able to come so I can send home the information you need.
The PTA walk-a-thon is on Friday. Please refer to the information sheets sent home last week.
We will be doing gym time every Friday. Please don't have your child wear flip-flops on Fridays. It's much easier to do games in the gym when shoes aren't falling off!
