Welcome!

 I’m so excited to be your child’s kindergarten teacher this year! Kindergarten is such a magical time full of learning, laughter, and growth, and I can’t wait to make special memories together as a class.  I will see you at Back to School Night on August 18th, and then on the First Day of School, August 20th! The first three days are short days with early dismissal. 


In the meantime, There are a few things you can do to get a jump on the school year!


  • Parent Survey-  Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey to help us get to know your child better. Link here.


  • Subscribe to the blog- Please visit and use the link to go to our blog and find more detailed information. When you get there be sure to click the button on the right hand side to complete a form to subscribe and to receive blog post notifications so you never miss our class happenings. Subscribe to our blog here.


  • Supply List- Life can be so busy, so we are requesting parents to donate $30 to cover each student’s supplies. Instead of you doing the shopping, I will do the shopping for you. This way I can get all needed supplies purchased and labeled before students even come back to school, and you don’t even have to worry about it. 


**Aside from the money donation, the only item I need you to provide is a set of DURABLE headphones that can last all year.  We are a technology based school and we use headphones everyday! On our blog under parent info is where we have our recommended headphones that typically last all year. (Please LABEL with student’s name). These are headphones that we love and recommend that typically last all year! link here.



Please donate $35 to the Q1 office or pay online by clicking the following link Quest Online Payments and selecting “OTHER”, please also type in “Rees Supplies”. If possible, please make donation payments on or before Back to School Night.


  • Class Disclosure Statement- Please read and sign Mrs. Rees’ Class Disclosure Link here. After reading the disclosure please indicate that you have received it and understand the content. Sign online at this link: Read and Review Form


  • Food Permission- Snack time will be every afternoon from 1:50-1:55 before their recess. We will also be consuming food items for parties or class activities, please sign the form below. Any additional permission forms needed, we will notify you at least 1 week prior. Link Here.


  • Volunteer Form- We have many opportunities to volunteer within our classroom. Fill out the form below if interested. There will be school volunteer opportunities that come up throughout the year. We will notify you as they come. Link here.



One way that you can help your child over the summer is to READ!!! It is so important to have your child read for 20 minutes every day.

Have A Great Summer!

 


Kindergarten Families,

As we wrap up this incredible school year, we want to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It has truly been a joy and a privilege to spend this year with your children. Watching them grow, learn, and become more confident every single day.

Kindergarten is such a special year, filled with so many “firsts.” From learning letters and numbers to making new friends and exploring the world around them, your children have worked hard and accomplished so much. We are so proud of everything they’ve achieved! Thank you for all the ways you’ve supported your child and our classroom this year!

Wishing you and your family a fun, restful, and sunshine-filled summer. We hope your child carries all their happy kindergarten memories with them as they take the next big step into first grade!

Love,

Mrs. Rees, Mrs. Sampson & Ms. Chloe

Spring Break




The end of the year is coming near! We have end of year testing in May. Our students have made so much growth this year. We are so proud of them. We are noticing many students still need help with writing words and letters and struggle with simple addition and subtraction facts. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read with them at home. Practicing speed with letter naming fluency, reading and writing words and letters would also be helpful. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on math fluency with them. Simple flash cards from the dollar store or even a Math Fact App on a tablet. Practice makes progress and we want more than anything for our kiddos to be confident in moving on to 1st grade.

If you want specific things to work on with your child, please email us and we will tell you more specifically. Thank you for your help and support with this.

Important dates:

March 31st to April 4th: Spring Break

May 22: 9:30 to 11:30 Kindergarten Field Trip- Treehouse Museum (More info coming soon)
