ROE Kindergarten - Week of Jan. 13

We Are Better Together!

Greetings Kindergarten Families

Happy New Year 2025! We were so glad to welcome you all back to school on Wednesday -- kids were excited to see friends and catch up! We are looking forward to reconnecting with your students and getting back into our routines at school. Kindergarten will be taking a field trip to the Dallas Zoo on March 26; look for permission slips, etc to come home in the next couple of weeks.

Following are some important reminders to keep in mind for this school year:

School hours are 7:20-3:05. If you are dropping your child off after 7:20, please park in the front parking lot and sign your child in at the front office. If you are arriving after 3:30pm for pickup, please park in the front parking lot and walk to the office with your car tag.
Transportation changes need to go through the office. Please call 972-617-3523 before 2:00 pm for any transportation changes.
Contacting your child's teacher: If you call or email your child's teacher, they will respond within 24 hours as our focus during the day is your students.
Lunch with your student: Parents are welcome to visit during lunches of scholars on any day of the week.
Birthday treats: Birthday treats will only be served on Fridays. You may drop off treats in the office and they will be delivered to the classroom.

Attendance Matters

What We Are Learning

ELAR

Students will be working on story retell (comprehension) and learning how to "infer" or make smart guesses based on what we know and what the author is telling us through words and illustrations. We will continue to work on writing in complete sentences as we retell our story from beginning to middle to end.

Math

We will begin our study on 2 dimensional regular and irregular shapes. We will learn how to identify, sort and classify these shapes based on their attributes.

Social Studies and Science

Social Studies: We continue our study our map skills

Science: We will learn about our natural resources

Suite 360: We will learn how about "Curiosity"
