Dear TK Families,
This newsletter is coming to you a day early as there is information that you need to be aware of for tomorrow, Tuesday.
As we approach the beginning of Lent, we will reflect on how we can be a better person to ourselves and to one another. We have been singing "Spread a Little Sunshine" each morning to remind ourselves to smile and share God's blessings of joy, friendship, and love with one another.
Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday. Those that ordered pancakes can enjoy their pancakes in the Hall with their family beginning at 7:15. However, if your child did not order pancakes, I ordered half portions for them to eat so that we all can enjoy a little syrup! Those that did not order pancakes will need to be in class at the regular time. We will enjoy those pancakes in the classroom. Students who paid for their pancakes need to be in class by 8:30. If you ordered pancakes but cannot stay with your child to eat, feel free to bring them to our classroom and we can pick up their order from the hall. Just let us know upon drop off that you paid for breakfast. If you have any questions, please let me know.
The TK class will begin working on our class play, The Three Little Pigs. I will assign them their parts, please practice their role and songs with them each night. It is best to have everything memorized. The performance is scheduled for late May or June. I have not quite picked up a date.
We will continue with last week's learning goals for this week. It was such a short week that we did not finish. Our theme will be centered on Dr. Seuss' books and Ash Wednesday/Lent.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Paragas

Week 24
Dear TK Families,
This week will be really short. As you know, there will be no school on Friday due to the Religious Education Congress.
Tomorrow is a non-uniform dress day! Thank you for doing your best to submit your child's intention form for Kindergarten. Please refer to the St. I Parent-Student Handbook for non-uniform dress code.
Also, tomorrow Andrew Chin will be having a concert at school at 1:00 pm. You are welcome to return to school to enjoy this concert with the school.
Do you have photos of the class or groups of children from the class? If so, please e-mail them to me. The Yearbook Committee is looking for photos to put in the yearbook.
Just a friendly reminder, please do not send a toy to school. In the last few weeks, I have noticed an increase of children bringing toys to school. As stated at Back to School Night, I would appreciate if toys are left at home as they pose as a distraction for your child and for the other students. If your child needs a comfort item due to separation, please discuss this with me. Thank you for your attention.
This week:
Theme: Presidents
Religion - Jesus' friends
Math - writing number 17, Counting to 30 and 100 by 10s, addition
ELA - writing letter Ee, Reviewing all letters and sounds, sight words (please refer to the sight words placed at the back of your child's folder).
Social Studies - presidents and our country
Have a great week!

Week 23
Dear TK Families,
I hope you enjoyed a day filled with love on Valentine's Day. I felt so much love from your children with their Valentine's Day greetings, cards, hugs, and goodies. Friday is our February Birthday snack and in combination, also our Valentine's "celebration".
Below is the note Mrs. Hayden sent out regarding returning your letter of intent. Whatever your decision is for your child for next year (I hope you stay with us!!), please return your Intent Form which was given to you last week. If every family in our class returns the form, we can have a chance for non-uniform dress!

Hello Parents/Guardians, Your kids love Free Dress and on Wednesday, February 22nd you can help them earn this fun privilege. The Intent to Re-register Form was sent home on Monday February 6th through your oldest returning student (the form is attached if you did not receive it). We still have many families who have not returned the form and the $50 per student re-enrollment fee. We are currently in the careful process of planning and budgeting for the 2017-2018 School Year and need ALL Families to turn in their intent form by Friday, February 17th. Every class with 100% response by turning in the Intent to Re-register Form will earn Free Dress on Wednesday, February 22nd (Andrew Chinn is coming that day so it will be extra fun!). Please help your child earn Free Dress and more importantly help us in planning another successful school year! Blessings,Mrs. Hayden

Week 22 Newsletter
Dear TK Families,
Tomorrow is our 100th Day in TK! We have been practicing how to count to 100 for the past couple weeks. Hitting 100 days is a milestone as we have made so much growth this year.
Valentine's Day is next week. If you choose to send Valentine's cards for your child to pass out, please do not write each child's name. Please have your child sign his/her name only. This will make passing out cards much faster and more enjoyable. If you plan to send a little candy treat, please DO NOT send chocolates or candies that contain nuts - such as (but not limited to) Reese's, Snickers, etc.
Birthday Snack will be on Friday, February 17. If your child has a birthday this month, our wonderful room parents will contact you.
