A Note from Mrs. Kaber:
Dot Day-
Friday, September 15th, is International Dot Day! This is a special day to celebrate the character, Vashti, in the story “The Dot.” Peter H. Reynolds, the author and illustrator, released this book on September 15, 2013.
Vashti is a young girl who didn’t think she was a good artist. Her art teacher encouraged her to just make a mark. This story has inspired millions of children and teachers. The story is used by teachers to instill creativity and confidence in their students.
CCLS Kindergarten will wear polka dots on Friday to celebrate Dot Day. Listed below are a few guidelines.
Your child can wear polka dot shirts, sweaters or skirts.
Your child can wear polka dot socks or hair accessories.
Your child’s polka dot items must be school appropriate (ex. No pajamas, costumes, etc).
We will be reading different Peter H. Reynolds books all week and will be doing fun activities to celebrate creativity and confidence!
Wheel-a-Thon- Our Kindergarten classes will be hosting our annual Wheel-a-thon on September 25th from 9:30-10:30 am. Each child can bring a bike, scooter, roller-skates or anything with wheels to help raise money to sponsor a child to go to school. With your help, we are trying to raise over $250 per class. We will be sending home information with a money envelope for people to sponsor your child in the wheel-a-thon. Our goal is at least $10 per child to reach our sponsor goal. Ask grandparents, coworkers, family, and friends and see how many people can help with our kindergarten project! If you would like to come and cheer on our kindergarteners as we make laps around the parking lot, feel free to help make signs and assist with pulling bikes etc out to the parking lot. We can't wait!
Optional Homework- Each week your student will start receiving some optional work with heart words or flash words and some fluency passages etc. If you would like to complete the work with your child, they can earn punches on their punch cards. I don't have a deadline for the homework. Your child can work at their own pace. Your child will also receive a reading log. Each night your child looks at books, gets read to, or reads to themselves, they can color in a picture (1 per night). At the end of the month, they can turn it in for a prize!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out!
In Him,
