*Graduation Performance- I have put together a program for the Kindergarten Graduation. Please look over your child’s part and help them memorize their line/lines. There is NO GUARANTEE that they will say their actual line/lines in the performance. We only have a limited amount of time to perform and I’m uncertain right now of how long my original performance will take. If it is too long, I will have to cut out speaking parts, however, each child WILL be performing songs and chants. Thank you for your understanding.
*Two More Weeks Left!- For the next two weeks we will be practicing for our Graduation Performance. Academics will be light! We will work hard to finish our Rainbow Sight Words. There will be no more memory verses to memorize and no more sharing.
*Left Over Work- Work that we did not get to this year will be sent home in a packet. This is a great way to refresh your child’s memory during the summer. Please read with your child regularly during the summer!
*Summer Work- I strongly suggest that you buy a booklet to practice with your child over the summer to prepare them for 1st grade. They have learned and gained so much knowledge this year and I don’t want it to all be forgotten this summer! These books are available at any education store. You can try Lakeshore or the Education Station.
*5th Week Progress Reports- Progress reports should be mailed home this week!
*Pictures!!!!!- Please email your pictures to manders_t@hotmail.com

Psalm 33
Praise to the Creator and Preserver.
1 Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the LORD is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
13The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
14From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
15He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.
16The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
19To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
22Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.

REMINDERS
Aquarium of the Pacific Field Trip-Is ON tomorrow! We will leave plenty of time to arrive safely. Please be here by 8:15AM! Don’t forget to send your child to school with a sack lunch and a booster seat!
Grandparent’s Day-This Friday, February 12th, at 10:30AM in the main sanctuary of GCC. It is not an official half day of school, but you are welcome to take your child home after the performance. We DO NOT have any special Grandparent’s Day activities planned. We will have a regular, academic morning with the performance beginning at 10:30AM. If you do not plan on picking your child up early, please remember to send them to school with a lunch. The cafeteria will be CLOSED on Friday, so plan accordingly!
Valentine’s Day (Friday)-We are not going to focus on Valentine’s Day at all, HOWEVER, your child is allowed to bring in candy/cards to be passed out. I would prefer that your child not address the valentine. It would be easiest if Amanda and I can just put one into each cubby and not have to worry about names. Thanks for your cooperation!
Locked Doors-Facilities has asked that we keep our doors locked at ALL times. This is rather difficult with Kindergarteners, but we are going to try our best to obey. This means that your child NEEDS to use the restroom on their own time. Please remind your child to use the restroom if you arrive at school early enough.
Tardy-If you come to drop off your child and our doors are already closed, please stop by the GCS Office to get a tardy slip.

Phonics- We will continue with our reading groups this week. Reading groups occur about every other week. Starting this week, your child will have reading homework every Tuesday and Thursday! Please return the book every day unless it has a sticker on it. If the book has a sticker on the cover, the book may stay at home.
Handwriting- We will start learning our capital cursive alphabet! The handwriting load is becoming heavy. If your child is unable to finish their work in class, their work will be sent home in order for them to complete it. Look for the please finish and return stamp.
Math- We will continue to learn sorting by lengths (shorter, longer). Not many math pages will be sent home. We will be using many manipulatives to learn new concepts and I will assess their knowledge based on their use of manipulatives. Below is an explanation.
Marcy Cook
Two weeks ago I had the privilege of spending a day at Marcy Cook’s seminar: Math for K-3. Marcy Cook is a leading math specialist, master educator and author. She believes that “number sense develops gradually by exploring, visualizing and relating number algorithms.” Marcy introduced me to a new approach of teaching math. Practically, her philosophy will be implemented in our kindergarten class by having our students use manipulatives, hands-on games, and other relevant math tools. The goal is to have the students actively involved. Active involvement will engage students and maximize their learning.

Please remember to review the ladders with your child. Practice spelling/
sounding out small words with your child. Words such
as: hen, leg, can, bag, well, sock, duck, kick, gas, bug, jet, ham, cob, van, dig.
Here is a website with Dr. Fry’s first 100 Sight Words http://candohelperpage.com/files/sight_vocab/first.pdf\
Handwriting: We will begin to learn how to write our names in cursive. We are switching to smaller
print and to smaller, regular sized pencils. We will continue joining letters and
writing small words.
Math: This week we will begin Chapter 5. We will learn to how identify morning, afternoon and
evening, put the days of the week in order and learn the months of the year.
Science: We will continue to learn about God’s plan for weather.
WELCOME BACK!
*I sent home with your child their pencil box. If you could replace the missing items, that would be wonderful. I do have supplies, but not enough for the whole class. I realize that you probably don’t have a list of things needed, so here is a list of things that would be helpful:
-a glue bottle (no sticks please)
-crayons
-colored pencils
-a few small (regular size) pencils
I have a class set of scissors and an electric pencil sharpener. If your child could have all of their supplies by next week, that would be wonderful.
*We begin our reading groups this week. There is no homework for reading groups. Please take time to read to your child every night. Reading to your child will help their reading fluency.
