The Phonics Dance: We will learn about each letter of the alphabet using the Phonics Dance. The Phonics Dance is a fun and effective way for our kinders to master their letters and sounds. The decoding process is made easy because of the rhyme and movement in the learning. Children of all developmental levels benefit from daily practice and reinforcement. We are very excited to share the Phonics Dance with our young learners! Be sure to ask your kinder to tell you all about it! In addition to the Phonics Dance, we will also practice writing our weekly focus letters the "kindergarten way" using our Handwriting Without Tears program.

Please send your child’s money to school with his/her permission slip. Adult chaperones are welcome on our trip. If you would like to chaperone, please indicate so on the permission slip and send your $6 as well. If you have misplaced your child's permission paper, you can download and print one (see below). **There was a typo at the bottom of the original paper...the trip will take place on Oct 17th.
