Eagle Excellence

We are working hard in every area in the BIG world of St. Edward Kindergarten!! In reading we are already blending, spelling, writing and reading words with the short Aa sound. We are also reading our HIGH-FREQUENCY sight words. All students should have mastered Group 1 Words Club sight words and are nearly ready for mastery of the next groups of words. Be sure to practice learning your sight words --even through the Labor day weekend!!  Our Goal is mastery through Group 7 words by the Cochon.

We are working in chapter 2 in Math on shapes and patterns-- GEOMETRY--WOW!! We are enjoying the world of about spheres, cones, cylinders, and rectangular prisms. We are excellent! Math is FUN!!

We are learning our prayers and songs for Mass. We are learning to behave properly and respectfully in church, which is God's house. We will be testing individually for the Sign of the Cross and the Angel of God prayers this week. We say these prayers and more each and every day. 

The Children's Rosary Club is every Wednesday at 3:15 pm in church. Everyone is invited to participate. Moms, dads, aunts, grandparents can attend with their kindergartener. Just walk to church from the pavilion with your child. Please take advantage of this beautiful opportunity to pray with your child. Jesus hears the prayers of children FIRST. 

In Social Studies we are learning all about our state - LOUISIANA. We are making a special Louisiana folder to take home at the end of the year. We will also participate in the activities for the 300th birthday of the city of New Orleans.

In Science, we are learning about the life cycle of apples. We are working on several apple projects. We will even take time to enjoy an apple snack this week. YUM!!

We are working very hard to write our whole name correctly ON THE LINE, starting every letter from the top. Keep up the good work in completing all of our homework correctly, on time, too.  It is the St. Edward way.

Over these first few weeks, we will continue testing ALL of our students individually for letter recognition (all 26 capital and lowercase), number recognition (1-20), shapes(circle, square, rectangle, triangle), Groups 1 and 2 sight words, lunch number, the Sign of the Cross(correctly and reverently-using ALL of the words) and writing our whole name correctly on the lines.  It will be a very busy and exciting time!! Go, Eagles!!!

 All children not picked up promptly by 3:15 pm each day will be brought to Aftercare. There is a fee for Aftercare. Please be prompt at Pavilion Pick-up!! You can even come as early as 2:50 pm.

There is NO running in the pavilion!  There is NO playing in the grassy area. This is VERY dangerous. Adults are so busy visiting with other adults that they are NOT supervising their own children. Please be respectful of our school rules. Thank you so much for you cooperation at dismissal!! Go, Eagles!!!
