Miss Wylie’s Kindergarten Kernel

Nov. 26-28 - NO SCHOOL - Thanksgiving Break

We will be doing the GRADE and DIBELS tests soon. Please continue to practice the areas that were discussed in your child’s conference. The GRADE test will be testing rhyming, beginning and ending sounds with pictures, beginning and ending sounds using letters, listening comprehension, same and different words, etc.

The DIBELS test will be testing initial sounds using pictures, letter naming in 1 minute, phoneme segmentation fluency (cat = c/a/t), and nonsense word fluency (letter sounds in 1 minute). Please continue to practice these areas at home with your child. We will discuss how they did on the GRADE and DIBELS tests shortly after the tests are graded.

Thank you to all of the families that came for Grandparent’s Day. The students were excited to eat lunch with you. Hope to see you all again soon!

Grandparents day will be on Wednesday, November 19th. Please come and have lunch with your grandchild. Can’t wait to see all of you!!

The school book fair will be this week. Our class will be visiting on Monday to make a “wish list.” The students that bring money will be visiting again on Thursday to buy things off of their “wish list.”

Thank you to Darryl’s mom, Brandon’s dad, and Nanci’s dad for volunteering for our field trip today!! Your help was greatly appreciated and we had a great time!!!!

We will be leaving for our field trip today. The students are very excited! We will ride the bus to the Bi-Water farm in Georgetown. We will take a hay ride to pick a pumpkin, go through a corn maze, walk through a spooky fun house, pet some anmials, have a picnic lunch, and play on the playground.

I will post pictures from our field trip soon in the Class Scrapbook section!

I’ve added a website under “Links.” It is a very useful site for creating handwriting worksheets to help students write their name and popcorn words. Feel free to use it at home.

Congratulations to Alli, Ariah, and Nanci! They were chosen as our first Star Strut Students for good behavior and great gains since the beginning of the school year. Keep up the good work ladies!

There were so many boys and girls that have had good behavior and have made gains that it was hard to choose just three. We can’t wait for our next Star Strut to choose more!

We will be taking a class field trip to Bi-Water Farm in Georgetown on October 22nd. A permission slip will go home shortly for this field trip. If you would like to be a parent volunteer, please make sure that you have completed the Volunteer form in the office.

We will have class t-shirts to use for field trips, spirit days, field day, etc. Below is the clip art that will be on the front of the shirt. The phrase on the back of the shirt will be, “All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten.” Our class t-shirts will be green. The cost of the t-shirts are $6.25. If you have fee waiver, you must still pay the $6.25 if you would like to purchase a t-shirt for your child. Please complete the t-shirt order form that was sent home and send in the $6.25 by Thursday, September 18th. Thank you!
