November 2026
What’s New?
The children are making wonderful progress in Kindergarten and pumpkins are behind us while Thanksgiving is next! We filled our good job jar and had our ice cream sundae party! The students really enjoyed that! Then we earned a popcorn party for walking in line nicely. Next, students are working toward a stuffy day and the new goal is walking in the hallway quietly. Please make sure children bring a jacket daily as we go outside for recess and free play whenever possible. As consistent winter weather comes, please send in mittens or gloves, hats, and snow pants and boots. (Labeled with your child’s name is much appreciated!) Parent teacher conferences will be Tuesday, November 24th from 1-3 pm and 4-6pm . Just a reminder that parent teacher conferences are only 10 minutes so please come prepared with questions and concerns. I will also do my best to stay on time as the slots are back to back. Your support with this is truly appreciated. More information will follow regarding parent teacher conferences. :) Please continue to send a labeled water bottle in for students, especially on gym days. The school will be having a book fair in the library November 17th through November 24th. Feel free to send in money for your child to shop at the book fair that is labeled with their name. Mrs. Grudzien or I can take students to the book fair as we are able to. Please note that the least expensive book is approximately $6.00. You can also set up an ewallet for your child to shop at the book fair and information regarding how to do that will come home soon.
Curriculum
This month, we will continue to learn about all of the letters, how to write on lines and read more sight words. In math, we will be learning about counting, comparing, and patterns. In reading, we will learn the sight words go, you, and do, how to blend and segment words and how to count syllables in words. In addition, we will be practicing how to form letters, put spaces between words and using punctuation. We will continue to learn about the concepts of print. In social studies, we are working on learning how to listen, be a good friend, how to be assertive and about thanksgiving and veterans day. In science, we will begin to learn about weather and seasons. Please continue helping your child with identifying letters, sounds, numbers, and comprehending stories read to them. Please also work with your children on shoe tying and zipping up coats. These self-help skills make a difference in the routine of our day! Thank you for your support!
What’s Needed?
Plastic spoons and paper towels are needed for the classroom. Please make sure your child’s name is on any homework that comes in so they can earn a star on their homework chart. Please also make sure the clothes your child has at school for their extra clothes is season appropriate. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and happy thanksgiving! We are grateful for you and your children! We thank you for all of your support. We hope you and your family get to relax and enjoy time together on thanksgiving and over the holiday break! :) Happy Thanksgiving!
Any questions or concerns, as always feel free to contact me at czechl@tantasqua.org or (508) 347-7041 X3101. Thank you! ☺
Other Information…
Thank you to all who have sent in needed supplies. Your generosity is truly appreciated! If your child is bringing a home lunch, please send in a drink for lunch (unless your child is ordering lunch milk which costs 50 cents) and a second drink for snack. Please pack your child’s snack separately from their lunch as it helps children not get confused when they bring a lunch from home. Once the heat is on in the classroom, the room may get very warm. Therefore, please feel free to allow your child to keep a water bottle at school. Please make sure that water bottles are labeled with child’s name. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Deidre Galasso, her email is burgesspth@gmail.com. I hope to start monthly volunteering in December. Thank you all for your ongoing support! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns through talking points, email czechl@tantasqua.org or by phone at 508-347-7041 X3101. Thanks!
Please contact me at anytime czechl@tantasqua.org or call at 508-347-7041 X3101.
