Dear Incredible Kindergarten Parents,

 

            May the Peace of the Lord be with you! This week in Phonics we will be starting a new unit on modified vowels. Modified means changed. A modified vowel is a vowel changed by an “r” after it. Examples: born, star and stork.  In Math this week, we will be acting out story problems and identifying symmetrical designs. In Science, we will continue to learn about things that are living and non-living and compare different animal characteristics. In Social Studies, we will start our last unit on Native Americans!   In Religion, we will continue to learn about sin and how Adam and Eve disobeyed God. 

Once again I want to let you all know that I will be teaching a summer school class called First Grade Readiness. It will run every Tues., Wed., Thurs., July 6-29 (12 classes) from 8:45am-11:15am in the Kindergarten classroom. The cost will be $300 per child (which is $10.00 per hour compared to other tutoring programs as $40 + dollars an hour). This class is specifically designed for current kindergarten students in preparation for Holy Family Academy’s first grade program. Students will work 45 minutes on phonics and 45 minutes on math with a break, snack, and exercise held in the middle. I have taught summer school for six years and will use creative teaching techniques, movement, and art to ramp-up the student’s learning, re-enforce skills, and keep kindergarten knowledge fresh while preparing for first grade. I am limiting it to 10 students, so if you are interested please let me know, so I can put your child on the list. Payment will not be due till the first day of classes (July 6^th). Please let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you!

I hope your May has been joy filled this far and that our Blessed Mother is showering you with her blessings! As always, please feel free to email me at alashinski@hfamn.org or call me at 952-925-9193 if you have any questions. Please allow me 24 hours to get back to you! 

 

 

Blessings,
