Happy Friday!

We had two wonderful days in Kindergarten!  On Thursday we read a story called The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn.  We completed a special project that I hope you saw in your child's take-home folder!  We talked about how the main character, Chester, was feeling on his first day of school.  We also met Mrs. Rensch and Miss Richard at Phy Ed, as well as Mrs. Hollingsworth at Music.

Today we began our alphabet study with the letter Aa.  We read a story about an alligator who was looking for the perfect job.  Have your child tell you what Abby Alligator decided to do!  (She was an author!)

Your child also

• met their Art teacher, Mrs. Larson
• enjoyed Friday Fun 
• earned Owl Tickets
• Students who earn Owl Tickets are showing Safety, Responsibility, and Respect!  After 10 Owl Tickets are earned, students are able to pick a reward such as a small prize, an award from Mrs. Toy, lunch with the school counselor, helping with school videos/announcements, high five line

We had two wonderful days of getting to know one another and I want to thank you for sharing your child with me.  We have a GREAT class and I know this will be year full of friendship and learning!

A few things to keep in mind:

• Tennis shoes EVERYDAY as the students have PhyEd and recess
• Water bottles are welcome!  I will allow students to keep their water bottles at school for the week and send them home on Friday for the weekend.
• Take Home Folders should come to school each day!

Please contact me with any questions!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Lindbo :)
