Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, February 25,2022

We have almost completed our second set of STAR testing for Kindergarten. As you know,the purpose of STAR Early Literacy is to assess students’ early literacy skills in preparation for reading. The STAR test identifies student reading levels (e.g. Emergent Reader) and provides student performance results for pre-K through third grade students. These tests give us a benchmark for Kindergarten skills as well as indicating the progress your child has made. The second Trimester ends on March 11th and Report Cards will be distributed March 18th and will indicate your child’s progress to date.

In Language Arts, we will take a break from our usual routine this week. We will be working on Writing and Lenten activities. Students will learn about the season of Lent and the meaning of Ash Wednesday. They will brainstorm and write their own Lenten promises. Students will visit the church prior to attending an All School Mass on Ash Wednesday.  Mass behavior and reverence in church will be addressed prior to our attendance. In addition students will be introduced to Saint Patrick and learn about his life.

March Homework will be a Writing project. Students will write a story about two friends who have a problem and how they solve it. Books are due on Friday, March 25th. Books will be read in class starting on  Monday,March 28th.

Our SuperKid for this week is Makena.  Thank you to Annamarie for sharing her things.
