Mila's story (Operation Christmas Child 2010)



Our school is participating in Operation Christmas Child this year.  This is a ministry of Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse.  Your child has been given instructions on how to pack a shoebox.  What a great opportunity for your kindergarten child and your family to take part in this ministry.  Shoeboxes reach all over the globe, and the Gospel message of Jesus Christ is shared with the children.

Boxes are due at school by October 29, 2010.  Make this a family event, and you will be blessed.

Parents come to K class

Dear Parents,

Tuesday night (October 12) is your chance to go back to kindergarten with your child's teacher.  Come to the kindergarten workshop for parents from 6:00-7:00 p.m. The teachers will teach reading, writing, and math to you just like they are teaching your child. It is your opportunity to see what your child is expected to learn and some of the fun ways that we teach. It will also be good preparation for our upcoming conferences because you will be more "in the know".

The Tricycle Brigade



Our kindergarten children are in charge of moving the tricycles out to the playground each morning. (It is one of those "jobs" they are learning to do.)  The children are eager to participate because they ride the trikes out on the playground to their parking places much like the cars in the Indy 500 lining up for the start of a race. At playground time, there is another opportunity to ride and the children love to have a turn.  Riding the trikes has been a popular activity since they were introduced a few years ago.  Miss Cyndie remembered trike riding as a routine in the early days of the Heiskell School (The tricycles were parked in the present day art classroom.) and knew of the benefits to developing bodies and minds. We teachers are delighted to see our children developing balance, coordination, and muscle strength while just having fun. Who knows if someday we will have some graduates in the Indy 500?
