Dear Parents,
We have had a very “Colorful” first week of school! We’ve been learning the color words at school. We’ve also discovered how to make different colors.
We’ve been learning about shapes: circles, squares, rectangles, ovals and triangles. Remind us to look around us to see these shapes in God’s world.
We are learning Nursery Rhymes this week. It would be great to read and sing them at home too!
We need lots of practice with scissors and writing our first names, capital letter first and then the rest with lowercase.
Each week we will concentrate on a character trait. This week’s trait is Initiative. We will learn to be busy and to do our best with our jobs at home and at school.
We will begin show and tell this week. Please try not to bring toys.
Each week we will learn a bible verse. Our Bible verse this week is Romans 3:23, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
One Wednesday a month we will have Teacher Inservices. We come in the morning from 8:00 – 1200. Thank you for understanding the inconvience. (Our first inservice is this Wednesday, August 21)
Don’t forget BackTo School Night this Tuesday from 7 – 8:30. We begin the evening in the Fresno Christian Gym and then walk to the classrooms.
Please… Parents Only. Please try to come. I have sooo much to tell you!
Remember to bring a blanket or pillow to take a rest after lunch – if you are an ALL DAY Kindergartner!
We are so glad to be in Kindergarten. Our teacher says she LOVES us!
