Kindergarten News
Week of January 12-16, 2015
Please return your report card envelope.  Sign the envelope and keep the report that is inside.  It is important for you to practice the sight words that your child did not know.  If you need help, please ask your teacher!  Thank you for reading your child's home reader with him or her! 
 
Theme: Winter, Snow, and cold weather
