Tuesday, December 3, 2024Good afternoon Awesome T.K. Families,I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!Please note that in your child's folder they received a blue sight word packet (10 words). These are the words they need to master by the end of T.K. I highly recommend you practice these words at home daily/weekly to prepare for upcoming assessments.In addition, the Holiday Shop flyer was sent home today. I would kindly like to encourage you to shop online with your child, (see instructions on flyer). Only students who bring money will be taken to the shop to purchase items. Often times, it is very challenging for the children to manage shopping for numerous people and they usually want to purchase items for themselves, which ends in tears. If you still are inclined to send money, please create a detailed list with family members and the amounts they are able to spend on each person. The money and list should be placed in an envelope or ziplock labeled with your child's first and last name on it. Another alternative would be for you to shop with your child in person after 11:10 (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday).Important Dates:-Holiday Shopping Date for TK: Monday, December 9th-T.K. Holiday Party: Wednesday, December 18th-100th Day Celebration/Activities: Friday, January 17thVolunteer/Donation Links:Holiday Party Volunteering:100th Day Activity Donations:100th Day Volunteering (Friday, January 17)

Friday, August 9, 2024Dear Wonderful T.K. Families,Woohoo! Congrats to the students to successfully completing their first week in T.K. I am truly in awe of how absolutely wonderful your children are and I can tell we are going to have an excellent year. 🙂I wanted to send a few items of information:-Candy Cart (Run by the PTA): will be coming to our classroom every Thursday at dismissal for students to purchase treats. You are welcome to send a few dollars for your child to purchase these treats. Most items range in cost from $0.50-1. Please do not send a large amount of money because they are young and it can be difficult for them to keep track of their money. I recommend around $1.-Every Friday is Spirit Wear: Please encourage your child to wear blue and orange on Friday or purchase an awesome shirt or jacket from PTA. Spirit Wear order forms can be picked up in the office and will be delivered within the week to the classroom. I will help your child put it in their backpack. Students will be rewarded with STAR Spotlight tickets on Friday if they wear our school colors/Spirit Wear.-Please join our PTA! The classroom with the most participates will earn a treat! 🙂 (Flyer Attached)-Scholastic Book Orders: Today Scholastic Book Order forms were sent home with the students. Please feel free to order any books they may like online using our classroom code:NB4PL I did not assign a due date on the flyer but please submit all online orders by Friday, August 23.

August 2, 2024Good afternoon T.K. Families,It was absolutely wonderful to meet all of you today during Meet the Teacher! I am looking forward to a wonderful year ahead. I wanted to reach out to you and offer my email as well as my school webpage as a resource to contact me and to check any classroom updates and information.I am also using the Dojo App this school year and I'd love for you to join the classroom. On Dojo you can communicate with me via 'text message' for a quicker response. I also love to take photos of your children to share with you personally their awesome learning experiences in T.K. If you are interested in joining the classroom Dojo App please click the link below:Build wonderful classroom communities with parents and studentsLastly, this coming Monday, August 5th will be our T.K. Orientation. We kindly ask that at least ONE parent or adult come with your child to learn more information about our classroom, have a tour, and enjoy a preview of fun centers and activities for the students. Please enter and exit through the kindergarten Circle Gate for orientation and come directly to the classroom (Room 3). On Tuesday, please have ONLY your child enter through the Kindergarten Circle Gate, I will be there 10 minutes early to gather the children before walking to class. I kindly ask that your child bring a full-sized backpack (large enough to fit a folder), labeled water bottle, and labeled snack. Please ensure all items are labeled with your child's name so nothing is misplaced. I would also recommend for you to pack one extra change of clothes in a Ziplock to keep in your child's backpack in case of an accident. We will also be using headphones this year, I would prefer an audio jack attachment since it is easier for the students to use. Please bring the head phones in a Ziplock with your child's first and last name labeled by the end of August.Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any further questions. 🙂Best,Mrs. Gallaher
