Notes…
Don’t forget that Friday, Sept. 24th is our Grandparent’s Day celebration!! Please have your child’s guest report through door number 1 by the office and sign in to get a visitor sticker. We will have a lot of guests joining us that day and want to make sure that all students are safe, so guests still need to sign in at the office! Remind them to bring a favorite book to share with their child! Unless I receive your child’s permission slip to leave early, they will be dismissed as usual!
We are looking for families to help donate snack for our special day. If you are able to help us out, please e-mail me so I can let you know what to bring. We have severe peanut allergies within our groups participating and will have a specific snack so all children can enjoy the day.
It’s Friday, so we sent another of the film canisters home today. Please take the little slip of paper out and the little bus and have your child tell you about the things listed on the paper. Don’t forget to return the film canister on Monday!!
Have a great weekend!

Don’t forget to return the film canister on Monday!!Our website has been having some trouble with the links. I apologize for the trouble! We are working with the company to figure out what’s going on, but until then, bear with us! The calendar link and the student links seem to be in working order, so keep using those!
By the way, we have a graphing question every day and today the question was “Who will win the BIG game this weekend?” The total was 17 for the Hawkeyes (Yea HAWKS!) and 4 for the Cyclones (sorry ISU fans!). J We’ll see how accurate our cherubs are!
Have a great weekend!

Hello All! We’ve survived the first FULL WEEK of Kindergarten! Thankfully we have a 3-day weekend because if your child is anything like mine at home, they are TIRED! We’ve been busy learning the Warrior Way this week which is how to be Responsible, Respectful, and Safe in our district!
We’ve also had fun this week with author, Eric Carle. He is such an amazing author/illustrator and if you haven’t had a chance to enjoy any of his books at home, you need to check his books out. We even dabbled with some Eric Carle Art today. As I am typing this, I am crossing my fingers that they are dry enough for the journey home. If not, expect your masterpiece on Tuesday!
Just some quick notes…the office has mentioned that they have not received proof of birth for many of our kindergartners. If you haven’t had a chance to send that in for your child, please contact Karin Stewart at the office with questions.
I also sent home a half sheet with information on our class-wide behavior plan. I am hoping that this will be a good visual for kids to help with making good choices while honoring those that do make good choices! You will see a hot pink calendar in your child’s folder. I will try my best to mark down a color for the day. Please see the note for more details. This plan may phase out as it is not needed anymore!
I have extended the book orders until next week, so please either send in the paper copies or complete your order on-line by next Wednesday.
Have a wonderful 3-day weekend! Don’t forget school pictures on Friday!

Congratulations! You survived the first week of kindergarten! We had a fun week getting to know each other, learning the in’s and out’s of school, and establishing a bit of a routine. I look forward to next week and the chance to get to know our friends even more as well as getting used to a FULL day of kindergarten!
A quick note…if you didn’t get a chance to sign up for conferences during Open House, please call Karin, our secretary, to set up a time.
Also…thank you to those families that were able to send in a snack already this week. Please try to send in a snack next week with your child. Please attach the snack coupon that is taped inside their purple folder. Thanks so much!
Have a wonderful weekend and remember that next week students are dismissed at the normal 2:50 time!
