Transitional Kindergarten Weekly Update

Welcome to Transitional Kindergarten! 

Thank you to our latest Mystery Reader, Liam’s granddad! Mr. Hancock read, Brave Potatoes, by Tony Speed. Thank you so much for participating!

February homework is due on Thursday. This our last homework calendar — in March, April + May, there will be project-based homework activities.

Please remember that children leave our building for various enrichment classes in all kinds of weather, and should have a coat with a hood whenever possible.

Thank you for all you do! Have a wonderful week!

Blessings, Mrs. Hillenbrand

Be a T.K. Mystery Reader!

Welcome to a fun way to visit your child’s classroom and encourage a love of reading this year! Each Friday, a surprise guest will come to TK and read their favorite children’s book to the class. The Mystery Reader can be a parent, relative, or any other special person in a student’s life. Students love listening to their favorite stories, especially when their special person is the one reading it!

The Mystery Reader is scheduled for Fridays at 8:30 a.m. or by special arrangement. Mystery Readers must first go to the office to sign in as a visitor, then come to TK. Please wait outside the TK classroom door at or before 8:30 a.m. Please review the available dates below, then send me an email to request one (or more!) that works best for you. Thank you for participating!
