Weekly Kinder Post for Week of 5/20

Hello Amazing Kinder Parents,

As we begin our week here are a few reminders…

 

1.  This week your kiddo will bring home a bright pink paper that talks about “Say Goodbye to K Day”…  At Wolf Canyon we do not do a formal kinder graduation but instead celebrate with parents and kiddos on the last day of school- June 5th.  In order for this event to take place we need lots of parents volunteers.  The paper will explain what is needed and when.  We can’t wait- it is one of our favorite days in Kinder.

 

2.      Staff Appreciation Week will take place Tuesday, May 28 – Friday May 31, 2019

OUR WOLF CANYON STAFF ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Tuesday 5/28 – Bring a staff member a Flower

Wednesday 5/29 – Dress as your Favorite Wolf Canyon staff member or Space Theme

Thursday 5/30 – Bring something from the Staff Wish List

Friday 5/31 – Bring a staff member a Thank You Note

To find your teacher/staff members favorite color, snacks and see their wish list, go to:  http://bit.do/WCstaff

1. Chalk Walk is right around the corner and that means we need your help.  Below is the PDF that tells about what is needed for this event- which takes place on 5/30.  Basically every class need a few parents volunteers, a shop vac, a shade canopy, baby wipes, and bottled water.  Please take a moment to read over the PDF and let your kiddos teacher know how you can help out.

3.  Just a reminder that there are no more HW packets for the year.  We ask instead that you continue to work on Raz Kids and make our end of the year goal of a level E/F.

4.  There will be no more library checkouts for this school year.  The library will be inventoried and restocked in the coming weeks.  Please make sure to return all library books ASAP.

Weekly Post for Kinder Week of 5/6

Hello Amazing Kinder Parents,

As we begin our very busy and exciting week here are a few reminders.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of our parents who went with us on our Sea World trip… it was a blast and the kiddos had an amazing time.

 

1.  Our kinder musical is this Thursday- May 9th at 6:30 PM…  We need all kiddos to report to their classrooms by 5:45 PM the evening of the performance to prepare and get their costumes on.  After the evening performance there will be an opportunity for a class picture on stage in costumes…so get your cameras ready for the perfect Kodak moment.
2. We will also do 2 school performances- May 9th and May 10th both at 9:00 AM.  We will need all kinders to report to their rooms by 8:30 AM to prepare and get their costumes on.  If you are unable to get a good spot for recording purposes coming to the Friday morning (5/10)  performance might prove beneficial.
3. As for the seating for the musical it is on a first come first served basis- there are no tickets sold to reserve a seat.  We do ask for a $2 .00 donation at the door to help cover costs for our kinder musical and such.   Thank you so much.

1. Don’t forget to send in your Spring Pictures and/or payments.  Thank you.
2. Teachers will be sending home PTA membership forms to those families who have not yet joined.  Our kinder classes only need 1 more kiddo each to join and we will all win a Movie and Popcorn party…  let’s do this to help out our wonderful PTA here at Wolf Canyon.

Below is the link to our weekly newsletter.  Please take the time to read it through to learn about all of our learning and upcoming events.

Weekly Post for Week of 4/29

Hello Amazing Kinder Parents,

As we start our week here are a few reminders…

1.  Our field trip is this Tuesday- April 30th.  We need all kiddos and chaparones to report to their classrooms and not the blacktop the morning of our trip.  Please make sure to dress accordingly and bring a sack lunch with a name in it.  If you are chaparoning you will need a lunch as well and more than likely you will have 2-3 students with you- so a backpack night be helpful.  We plan on leaving school around 9:15 and returning around 2:00 or so.
2. We are looking for donations of fruit snacks for our trip- we have 140 students and would love to be able to give them a snack during the trip,  If you can donate please send them to school or bring them at pick-up.  Thank you.
3. As testing season is upon us  please make sure your kiddos are getting lots of rest, a good breakfast and send those lunches and snacks.

Weekly Kinder Post for 4/22

 

Hello Amazing Kinder Parents,

As we begin our week here are a few reminders….

1.  Please remember to send in your Sea World permission slips, money and/or Sea World pass ASAP….  our field trip is April 30th- Next Tuesday and we will need to submit a final count by this Friday (4/26).

1. As many of you noticed our HW packet is a bit modified.  As we begin our end of the year testing in reading, writing, and math we feel it is best to modify homework.  We strongly encourage you all to continue with Raz Kids daily and use those book titles for the reading log that was on the back of the homework sheet.

1. We are in the process of practicing for our Kinder musical….  kiddos will have speaking parts and songs to learn.  Our musical is May 9th- so mark your calendars.

1. Please remember to send snacks daily- especially during our testing time when our brains are working extra hard.

April is Month of the Military Child. This is a time to recognize Military Families and their children for the sacrifices they make, the resilience they display and the challenges they overcome.  Currently, Wolf Canyon has 206 Military Students. We will be celebrating Month of the Military Child with the following Spirit Days and Activities: 

• Tu, 4/23 – Proud to be an American Day – Wear Red, White, and Blue
•  W, 4/24 – Crazy Camo Day – Wear Camouflage Clothes
• Th, 4/25 – Military Parents are our Super Heroes – Wear your favorite Super Hero attire.
  • 8:20-9:00am – Muffins for the Military – Military students and parents are invited to enjoy muffins, coffee, and orange juice in the MPR.
• F, 4/26 – Purple Up Friday – Everyone wear purple because purple is a combination of all the military branch colors.

1.  Pennies for Patients….

Please help support this great cause.

Weekly Kinder Post for Week of 3/4

Hello Amazing Kinder Parents,

As we begin our first week in March here are a few reminders.

1.  Attention All Parents…  we are in need of your help.  We have sent home 2 paper order forms for our Kinder T Shirts- but still do not have 100% from all of our classes.  It has been very hard to get these forms returned- and that is why we need your help.    We would love to have every kiddo with our special Kinder T-Shirt that has our class names on the back and our grade level on the front.  We love to wear these shirts to our field trips and other special days at school.   We are one of the few grade levels that do this special T-Shirt for our kiddos.   Please take a moment to fill out the order form and return it ASAP.  Once we go out on Spring Break we will place the order and will not be able to order after that point.-  No Exceptions.    If you are in need of another order form please let us know.

2.  In Honor of Dr. Seuss and his Birthday- March 2nd we will be celebrating  his birthday this week by reading some of our favorite Dr. Seuss books in class.  Below is a link to a fun Dr. Seuss read a loud…  The Butter Battle Book..

Weekly Post for Week of 2/25

Hello Amazing Kinder Parents,

As we begin our week here are a few reminders…

1.  Tomorrow your kiddos will bring home a white envelope for our new fundraiser from Mixed Bags.  This is a great way for us to raise money for our school to buy technology, books, art supplies and so much more.  Below is the link…

2.  Please remember that library books needs to be returned week to week.  If you do misplace your book you can always send in payment to clear your account.

3.  Please remember that your kiddos should not be bringing any small toys to school in their backpacks.  Very often we are finding toys being brought into our classrooms and on the playground that need to stay at home.  It is always a great idea to do a backpack check daily…

4.  We do need all T-Shirt orders returned ASAP.  We sent home a second order form last week on bright green paper.  We would love for each kiddo to order a shirt- so that when we go on our field trips and such we can all wear our WC Kinder shirts.  We are finding that we haven’t received very many and don’t want to make the order until we get 100% in all classes.
