Text Box: WRITING  Please remember when helping your child to practice writing their name, only the first letter should be a capital. Writing words, sentences and simple stories will be a frequent focus . Correct letter formation for handwriting will be emphasized.

 Our schedule

usually looks like this:

8:15  school begins

Lunch:

11:00—11:40

 Specials:

Monday— Music & Library

 Tuesday—Computers

Wednesday—Music

Thursday—PE

Friday— PE

2:45  release time

Students need to wear closed toe, rubber soled shoes for PE days.

Due to budget constraints, the buses for field trips must be funded by parents’ donations.  The Kindergarten is asking for a $25 donation for the year.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated!  Checks should be made out to QCE and given to Mrs. Strickland.

This is in lieu of grade level fundraisers for the year.

  Reading

 

 We use the Houghton Mifflin reading series, supplemented with Metra and Spalding.  Phonics & sight words will be taught.

We also enjoy a daily reading and story time.

 

Please read to your child at home every day!

 

 
Text Box: Show and Share Each student is assigned a day of the week to bring in an item from home to “show and share.” We’re gaining confidence to speak publicly, and learning to become a polite audience.

There are many opportunities for parents to assist in Mrs. Strickland’s class.

Parents may choose to help in the classroom for an hour or so

by assisting small groups with projects.

 

Parents may also help at home by tracing or cutting items and sending them back to

school with their child.  Please speak with Mrs. Strickland to volunteer!

Mrs. Strickland

may also be reached at (480) 987-5920 ext. 5702

or put a note in your child’s homework folder.
