SECOND QUARTER

 Our second quarter is a very busy time with lots to learn and lots to master. Our Words Club goal for the second quarter is mastery of words through Group 14 by Christmas.  We will get new places and fresh supplies for this new quarter. Go, Eagles!

 We are very busy testing weekly for mastery of letter recognition(all 26 capital and lower case letters), number recognition(1-50), letter sounds(consonant and short vowels), Words Club mastery of Groups 1-14(or more), shape recognition(circle, square, triangle, rectangle), making the Sign of the Cross correctly, praying the Angel of God, Grace Before Meals and Glory Be prayers correctly, writing our first and last name correctly on guideline paper with ALL letters starting from the top and touching the lines. Go, Eagles!!

We will be attending school mass each week. Boys need to wear long pants for mass each Friday. We will be learning our prayers and songs for Mass. We will be learning to behave properly and respectfully in church, which is God's house. We will continue to test individually for the Sign of the Cross, Angel of God and our Grace Before Meals. We will add the Glory Be to our prayers for mastery.

November is here. It is the month of prayers for all of our loved ones who are already in heaven. We will add names to our Book of Life intentions book to help us remember and pray for those who have died. 

Other prayers that we pray each and every day include the  Morning Offering, Prayer for Vocations and the Blessing Before and After Meals. We will say the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be each day as we pray the rosary. We pray the Act of Contrition and the prayer to St. Michael, the Archangel,  each day, too. Please take time together as a family to pray a part of the rosary. It is a powerful practice!!

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

 We will continue enrichment testing ALL of our students individually for letter recognition, consonant sounds, short vowel sounds, Words Club words, number recognition (1-100), shapes(circle, square, rectangle, triangle), patterns, money value, prayers and writing our whole name correctly on the lines. We will master these important skills so that we will be successful first-grade eagles. It is always a very busy and exciting time in kindergarten!! Go, Eagles!!!

DISMISSAL

 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 your cooperation at dismissal!! Go, Eagles!!
