Update

Spring is finally here and we are busy in the classroom working on Spring-related themes: Spring vocabulary, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and changing seasons. After March Break we will be starting a little classroom garden; the children will plant seeds and take care of their growing plants. We will also be starting a highly recommended new writing program called "Handwriting Without Tears" that the LKS Kindergarten teachers have purchased as a team, as part of our overall literacy and writing program. www.hwtears.com

The children will also be starting daily journals to encourage their writing skills and fine motor skills through printing and drawing pictures.

I have returned all the yellow homework phonics booklets that were handed in. Please encourage your child to complete the booklet so that they can be updated with our new Jolly Phonics letter-sounds.

I wish everyone a wonderful and safe March Break!

Mrs. Tyndall
