This is a weekend homework assignment. Please take time to sit and have your child read the poem to you. There is also a skill posted at the top of each poem for your child to complete. Please sign the top corner and return the folders each Monday! ************************************************ A NOTE FROM THE TEACHER… We had a GREAT first week of Kindergarten! We have been very busy learning new procedures and making new friends. In the coming weeks, we will be working on writing our name with lower case letters, our letter sounds, shapes, and #’s 0-12. These are the skills you may practice at home. I will send home the red Homework Folder in a few weeks with things to practice at home! || __ School Supplies __ A big thank you to all who sent in all of the paper work and school supplies. And an extra THANK YOU to those who sent in items from our Wish List!! *************************************** __ Lunch __ Your child can bring a lunch from home or eat the lunch provided from the cafeteria. If your child brings a lunch but needs to buy milk, it is $.50. Lunch money and milk money are two separate accounts. They can not pull $.50 from the lunch money to pay for milk. If you have any questions, let me know! I hate to ask but we could use a roll or 2 of paper towels.  J  **__ Westmeade’s Homepage __** I am trying to add links to my homepage on Westmeade’s Web Page. I will let you know when it is ready but I hope it will be a good resource for you to use at home! More INFO to come… ||
