    Good 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.  
     
    Important Dates:
    -Holiday Shopping Date for TK:  Wednesday, December 11th 
    -T.K. Holiday Party: Wednesday, December 18th 
    -100th Day Celebration/Activities: Friday, January 17th

    Good afternoon Awesome TK Families,
     
    Thank you so much for those of you who were able to attend last night's Back to School Night.  For those of you who were unable to attend I have attached our presentation for your viewing.  Please reach out to me if you have any questions, I am always happy to assist in any way possible.
     
    During Back to School Night, I asked parents to sign-up if they were interested in being our 'Room Parent' or sharing those duties.  We had a few parents sign up last night but if you are interested in joining them please make sure you email me so I can add you to the list.
     
    Today I have sent home (Neon Pink) Library Permission Forms.  Please sign and return these forms on Monday, August 26th to ensure your child can check out a school library book.  Our first visit will be next week! 🙂
     
    Starting Monday August 26 I will be collecting student headphones and I will store them in the classroom to use with our Chromebooks.  If you have yet to send headphones, please do so by the first week on September.
     
    Lastly, I will start sending out classroom monthly volunteering links and donation links for fun-filled activities each month.  Please click on the links below to sign up to volunteer in the classroom.  Also, a friendly reminder that if you cannot get a volunteer spot but you would still like to come please reach out to me so we can work out a time/date.  I'd love to extend this opportunity to any parents who want to come and join the fun in TK!

    Good 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 as well as check any classroom updates and information.
     
    Ms. Guerrero's Class Website
     
    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:
     
    Ms. Guerrero's TK Class Dojo
    Build wonderful classroom communities with parents and students
     
    Lastly, 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 fun centers and activities for the students.  Please enter and exit through the kindergarten Circle Gate.  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 back pack 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.
     
    Best,
    Ms. Guerrero
