“OLL's challenging and hands-on science program more than prepared my daughter for the rigor of high school science.”

Teacher's Comments

Dear Wonderful Parents:

What an impressive start your Kindergartners have made.  This is sure to be an outstanding year of learning and fun.  Your children have practiced listening and worked on always choosing to be safe and always choosing to be kind.  They have begun to learn classroom and school routines, including: stopping at the sound of the train whistle, lining up with safe hands, quietly walking down the hall, fire drill procedures, and saying daily prayers.  Your little ones have been working very hard!

This week we will continue working on "The Mighty K Way".  The highlights will be an earthquake drill, creating our class rules, learning the correct pencil grip, and sharing our Bucket of Fun adventures. 

One of our most challenging classroom routines is unpacking in the morning.  It would help if your child has their snack wrapped and ready to put in their chair pocket.  There was some confusion over which food was for snack and which food was for lunch.  (Many Mighty Kers were ready to eat their entire lunch at 10 o'clock.)

Birthdays - - We celebrate birthdays at lunchtime.  Please bring in a treat to share with the class.  Individual treats such as cupcakes or cookies are easiest to serve.  Napkins would also be helpful.  You can drop off the snack in the morning or drop them off at lunch time.

P.E. - - Kindergarten will start P.E. when we have full days.  We will be romping with Mrs. Christensen on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  We will also be in the Gym on Fridays for music and movement with Mrs. Flanagan.  On these days children should wear tennis shoes or bring them to change into before class.  Girls should wear shorts under their jumpers. 

I want to send out a big thank you to our Mighty K Room Parents....Maria LaPorte and Kristie Pottle. 

God Bless, 
Mrs. Clayton
