Big Pig on a Dig Day!

Dear Parents,
I thought you might like to see some pictures from our "Big Pig on a Dig Day". Students listened to the story "Big Pig on a Dig" which is a fun story that uses very simple synthetic phonic-based text with the focus on the short-vowel "i". After listening to the story, students dug for "i" words. They had lots of fun!

Math At Home

Dear Parents,
Inside your child's Friday Envelope, you will find a sheet entitled "Math at Home". Please help your child complete the four activities. When your child returns the completed sheet, he/she will receive a prize. All sheets must be in by September 30 to receive a prize.

Thank you for your support,
Mrs. Wheeler

Friday Envelopes

Every Friday, your child will be coming home with a large white envelope. Inside the envelope you will find your child's work along with any applicable forms, etc. Please empty the contents, sign the form and return the envelope on Monday.

Thanks,
Mrs. Wheeler

Phys. Ed. Tomorrow

Don't forget to come dressed in your phys. ed. uniform tomorrow. Please wear your grey St. Jude's t-shirt, navy shorts or track pants, white socks and running shoes. When you come dressed in proper uniform, you earn points for your house.

Birthdays

We love to celebrate birthdays! Please email me (kwheeler@stjudesacademy.com) stating your child's name and birth date. Please include the day, month and year. We will be talking about birthdays in our unit called "Five Alive!" as we explore "Who we are" in our first of six transdisciplinary themes. We will be developing an awareness of our physical and personal characteristics and abilities to gain an understanding of ourselves and other people in our lives.

On your child's birthday, you may send in a class treat if you so desire. Please make sure that the item is nut-free and was made in a nut-free place. If you are planning on sending in any items for your child's birthday, please email me one week ahead of time.

Thanks,
Mrs. Wheeler

The First Day

We had a great first day of Kindergarten at St. Jude's Academy! Today we learned the short-vowel sound for i. I says "i" for igloo! Neophyte week got off to a great start with a couple of fun games. Thank you to all the parents who sent in supplies. Please check your child's backpack for a letter that was sent home today. Remember to check out the blog daily to keep up-to-date.
