Attendance Matters
Too many absences, excused or unexcused, can keep students from succeeding in school and in life. How many are too many? 10% of the school year—that’s 18 missed days or 2 days a month—can knock students off track and put them behind.
School begins at 8:30 a.m. It is important that your child is on time. A note is required if they arrive after 8:35 a.m.
Kindergarten in November
Now that we have established our daily routines and are deeply involved in the learning process we are ready to face more exciting challenges! We’ll be reading and writing simple sentences and continue to improve our math skills. The Kindergarten children are making friends, sharing and treating one another with kindness and respect.
November is a month filled with many days to honor our nation. We’ll learn about the democratic process and Election Day as we vote on various activities. This will enable us to understand that each individual is allowed to voice their own opinions.
On Veterans Day, we will learn how our veterans keep our country safe and thank them for their service. We will also learn about the different branches of the military.
As we approach the 50th Day of School, we’ll be counting to 50, listening to music from the 1950s and comparing clothing worn in the 1950s to the way we dress today. Don’t be surprised if your child states that they want to dance at “The Sock Hop!”
Care and Share Day is a wonderful time for our families and friends to come to school and share a special talent with our classes. Whether you read a story, teach a craft or just come in and help us get the “sillies” out, it’s sure to be a day to be remembered forever!
Finally, as November comes to an end we will re-enact the First Thanksgiving as the children dress as Pilgrims and Native Americans and share a feast together. Kindergarten children will learn songs and poems as we celebrate this historic event. Most importantly we will discover the many things we have to be thankful for, especially our families, our friends, and our awesome school!
The Kindergarten teachers would like to thank all of our parents for the support that you have given us to help make the first few months of school a success for the children! We are thankful to have you as part of our team to ensure your child’s educational success!
CARE AND SHARE DAY
The Jefferson School Annex will be hosting their annual “Care and Share Day” on Friday, November 22, 2019. We invite community members, family, and friends to partake in this fun and active learning experience with our students.
