Can you believe we are halfway through kindergarten already? With parent/teacher conferences coming up- We wanted to take this time to revisit what our Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 goals are as well as introduce you to what Quarter 3 will look like.

Mrs. Helminski’s class created a vision board and went to setting personal academic goals for themselves for the rest of kindergarten. Each student decorated a disco ball with their goal inside. A lot of students chose goals about reading, writing and counting. Mrs. Gutierrez heard about their disco ball goals and gave the class our very own disco ball to hang from the ceiling!

Look at their disco ball vision board above. Parents, this is a great time to discuss goals and create actions steps with their children at home to help them reach these goals of the things they envision for themselves before they leave Kindergarten!

We are getting ready to go on a journey of the bones in the human body and will have several weeks of interactive fun that we need some extra hands-on deck! Please reach out to Ms. Fraze if you would like to volunteer!

Information will be coming home next week. Look for the flyer in their folder! Everyone who participates will receive a trophy and the one with the highest dollar amount collected will also receive a gift card from the Lake County Public Library. Make sure the bottom portion of the form gets sent back to Ms. Fraze so she can get a collection envelope sent home with your child 😊
