Welcome to KA, 2023!
This year will be a wonderful year full of learning and fun, not to mention, an incredible year of change. You will be amazed as you watch your child grow as a reader, writer, mathematician, scientist, artist, friend and so much more!
KA have been busy bees learning and understanding classroom routines and expectations. The past couple of weeks we have been focussing on learning the sounds letters make, counting syllables in words, handwriting, understanding patterns in Maths and learning all about numbers. We have started gymnastics on Tuesday afternoons and on Wednesdays we have been practising our fundamental movement skills.
Homework
Our home reading program has changed this year and students are awarded for reaching different reading targets. A home reader and a sounds and sight words booklet has been sent home in a plastic envelope. Please ensure you read the instructions before completing with your child. Both booklets and their reader need to be returned to school every Friday.
School Supplies
There are a few classroom supplies we ask you to kindly provide:
Tissue boxes
A library bag (Thursdays)
A paint shirt or old T-shirt
After School Arrangements
Please send me a note to let me know if your child is catching the bus home or to after school care, or if they have other arrangements.
If you need to contact me, you can do so by calling or emailing the school and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year and am excited by the anticipation of the countless milestones we will reach as a class and those your child will reach as an individual.
