Classroom Updates

Mark your calendars! October 3rd is a special day for it will be our MC Cash Mc Teacher’s Night. The staff and teachers of our school will be helping and serving the customers of the MC Donald’s restaurant located at 5120 W Baseline Rd, Laveen Village, AZ 85339. All students and families are welcome to join in the fun and laughter starting at 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm. The proceeds of this fundraiser will help provide benches for the students to sit on in the courtyard area of the school and a shade structure for the 4th-8th-grade playground/field area.

We would like to spend a memorable night with you all and at the same time support each other for a very great cause. Your generosity is appreciated.

This event is sponsored by the MC Cash Booster Club. We hope to see you there!

Have you found the best T’s yet? You totally have to get working on that for this week will be filled with tantalizing

conversations and activities about the letter Tt! Mastery of this letter is tantamount to a successful and enjoyable year of reading. Keep it up and ta-ta!

Let’s compare numbers by counting, naming, and writing numbers to 10. You can practice this skill at any fun activity

or chore at home, in a grocery store, on a farm, at the fair, at the playground, etc. Happy hunting and happy comparing!

We are learning about the perfect letter Pp this week. Please help your child find words that begin with the /p/ sound. Try to challenge your child if they can name words that have the /p/ sound at the end. Plenty of practice for a perfection of /p/!

Fall Picture Day is scheduled this coming Friday, September 28th. Students are allowed to dress up on that day!

For your child’s class time and further questions, please contact the office at 602-237-9120. Thanks!

Next week, we will be learning about the letter Ss and the /s/ sound. We will identify pictures/objects/words that begin and end with the /s/ sound. So, set those eyes on those S’s! Hooray, to S-s-s-super Ss!

September 5th, Wednesday, will be the first ever early release day of the school year. School gates will open and breakfast will be served at 6:45 a.m. Classes will start at 7:30 a.m. and students will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. If your child is picked up from school, please be reminded of the dismissal time changes. Kindly make the necessary arrangements for a prompt and safe way for your child/children to get home. If you have any questions or concerns regarding bus route times or anything at all about the time change, please call the office at 602-237-9120. Thank you very much!

There will be no school on Monday, September 3rd, to celebrate Labor Day. I hope that everyone will have a fun-filled and safe three-day weekend! See you all back to school on Tuesday, September 4th. Enjoy!

This week, we will start our Chapter on counting and cardinality. The first chapter is focused on counting, reading, writing and making groups of 1-5 objects. You can help your child master these skills by practicing with them using different household items that will keep them engaged. Such things are and not limited to the following: beans, marbles, clothing during laundry time, buttons, shoes, pillows, chairs, their own toys, books, cereal, windows, rooms, doors, steps to and from a room in your house, cars they see on the way to the store, and many many more. You can also help them practice writing the numeral using tactile materials by using small items to form the number, sand, playdoh, shaving cream, sandpaper to trace, etc. By doing so, you will be supporting your child to meet their kindergarten goals of counting to 100 and identifying numbers 0-20. Your time and effort to practice with your child will show a great difference in his/her success in this school year! Thank you!

Our next sight word is the sight word “can”. Please help your child practice spelling, writing, and using it in a complete sentence frequently. Thank you for your support and enjoy the attached video!
