Kindergarten Debbie Hintz Extension message through FastDirect Religion: Joseph and His Brothers; Math: numbers 6-10; Reading Theme: Fairy Tales; Sight Word: We; Phonics: O, G and H. Please make sure your child has spare clothes here at school. Milk spills, food trays tip and wet slides are all accidents waiting to happen. Please practice zipping coats and putting on mittens with your child if they are unable to do so. Make sure mittens/gloves are a little on the big size and the inside lining does not pull out when removed. Teach how to turn sleeves right side out. These are skills needed in order to ready themselves for recess. I realize in the rush of everyday life parents often do these for young children, but now that they are in school they must practice at home so they can do these big kid skills on their own. October 30 th we will be having Christian music artist, Jennie Williamson, performing at our school! Parents and preschool children are welcome to join us at 1:00 to enjoy the show. Hope to see you there.
