Half Day Preschool

Welcome to Preschool!

There will be a weekly newsletter to inform you of what we are learning in our classroom, and to notify you of special events, dates, and activities. The newsletter will be available each Friday via email at www.stcletusparish.com.

It is so exciting to see your children’s smiling faces and share their excitement for a new school year. We had a fantastic week in preschool. The children are getting to know each other and how they are alike and different.

We are learning how to make the Sign of the Cross, as we begin and end each day with our prayers.

We will be learning and reviewing how to use preschool tools, such as pencils, scissors,and glue.

We have “specials” which include Spanish, Music, Technology Lab, and Library. All of these classes started last week.

We will be going outside. Please dress your child appropriately for the weather. Also please label all backpacks, coats, sweaters, etc.

Have a Blessed Week!
Mrs. Martino

Fifth Grade Newsletter August 2010

September 2, 2010

Dear Parents,

Welcome back!  We are very excited to have met the new fifth graders and look forward to the year ahead of us.  We enjoyed meeting you at our Meet and Greet.  Your children are off to a good beginning.

1)     We have spoken to the students about the expectations for school this year.  The focus of our year will be organization and student responsibility.

2)     As you have probably heard from your child, we do switch classes. 

3)     Thank you for the timely manner in which school supplies were turned in .   Your child  received a welcome bag and poem for having all supplies in on time.  Just in case the copy doesn’t get home, we have rewritten it for you.

A highlighter to highlight the great things to learn in fifth grade

An eraser to know it’s OK to make mistakes

A pen/pencil for all the excellent written work we will do

A bookmark so we will never be lost

A star because we shine when we do our best

A heart because our classroom is a safe and caring place

Smarties to show that are many kinds of smarts

And a passport to help us remember our accomplishments

4)     Your child needs to have a water bottle in school, as well as a HEALTHY snack each day.

5)     Just a reminder, the children may enter the school at 7:50 a.m. The door will close at 8:00.  If your child arrives and the door is closed, they are tardy and need to enter through the Apple Door at the front of the school.

6)     As stated in a previous letter, tissues and paper towels will be requested as needed.  However, if you have purchased them already, you may send them into school.

Thank you for your help and cooperation,

 Mrs. Clancy and Mrs. Kensek

Kindergarten, August 27, 2010

Dear Families,

We had a wonderful first week in kindergarten!  The kids are settling in nicely and getting used to new kindergarten routines.  We have been very impressed with their interactions with one another and their ability to follow the many instructions we have given them already.  Keep it up, kindergartners!

We ended our week with a tour through the school.  One of our cardinals escaped!  He led us through the building to the library, Technology, music, art and gym.  We finally caught up with him outside, hiding in a tree!  He left us a note saying we could go have some fun in the courtyard.  It was a great way to get to know our school a little better.  Ask your child to sing our kindergarten song for you–here’s  a hint to get your child started- “c’mon everybody…”  Also, ask your child what his/her favorite thing was about school this week.

Next week, on Tuesday, is our parent meeting.  It is in room 99 at 6:30.  Please come to this meeting with any questions you may have. 

Have a great weekend!

It’s a great day to be a cardinal!

The Kindergarten Team
