Report Cards Today!

In your child's folder, you will find the first Kindergarten report card envelope. In it will be the report card, blue and yellow sheets explaining what I evaluate, and two certificates for a free kids meal from Texas Roadhouse. Please keep all of the enclosed papers and sign and return the report card envelope. If you have any questions, we can talk about them during conferences. I also sent home a conference questionnaire to help organize thoughts about what you'd like to discuss. We have twenty minutes to meet, and the time usually flies by quickly, so the notes can help us focus on the most important topics.

Morning Meeting: Greeting, ABC letter/sound song, Morning Message
Letter Learning: draw pictures that start with "a" and label
Math: "1" poster, counting and writing 2, sing "The Pumpkin Patch"
