Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

Grade cards come home on Friday! Please remember to sign the GRADE CARD ENVELOPE AND LID FORM and return ASAP!
Remember the dyslexia discussion I had with you at fall parent-teacher conferences? So now is the time of the year we start “sort of” assessing for that. Please remember it is still a doctor diagnosed thing, we can only assess for signs and do interventions to help “retrain the brain”. So reading groups will be hit and miss until I get done with my part! Thanks for being patient while we do more assessing!
Blue and Pink forms went home regarding breakfast with mom and dad this week! Please send them in tomorrow if you plan to attend! The cafeteria will need to plan ahead on food, and we have only had one student return their forms. This is simply a chance to have breakfast with your student at school (which the kids truly love) and there is no other special activities happening (unless you want to visit the book fair).
I’m looking for a few things! For upcoming special days I am needing the following: goldfish crackers, a bag of fruit loops, mini Hershey bars (17), and hostess mini chocolate gem doughnuts. If you can send any of that in, please do so ASAP! Thank you!
