What we have learned this week and what we will learn next week

Hello parents! It has been a wonderful week in Jr. Kindergarten! We have been nusy, busy this week learning all kinds of new things. Our Saxon Math lessons have consisted of adding the dots on each half of a domino, short word problems ( such as ' Kathryn has one red balloon and three bule balloons. How many balloons does she have?' ), and patterning. We have also been learning more about time and I have been reviewing money. We have been practicing writing and have been reviewing our letters, the sounds they make, and our sight words. We have been discussing Easter this week and what the significance of Easter is. I have been reading Bible stories all this week about the events that lead up to Easter. We will continue this discussion next week.

Just some reminders:
      - There will be no school on Friday (Good Friday).
      - We still need donations for the Annual Fund! It does not matter the size of the donation.   :)
      - There will be Extended Care ONLY on the Monday after Easter. Children will need to bring a sack lunch and are not required to wear uniforms that day.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask! Thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend!

Annual Fund

Today we launched our Annual Fund Participation Drive at the classroom level. Our goal is 100%!! The classroom with the highest percentage of Annual Fund contributors will win a great afternoon out: a special lunch out followed by fun afternoon activities. The lunch has been generously donated by this year’s Annual Fund Chairs Lori and David Butler. The contest is only for the number of contributors, not the amount contributed. Previous contributions to this year's Annual Fund will count towards your class; however, only donations specified for the Annual Fund will count. The contest will conclude Friday, April 29.
 
Please donate any amount so our class can go have lunch!   :)  Thank you!

Annual Fund Participation Drive



Achieving excellence requires commitment from everyone. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating our students and maintaining our first-rate faculty. Donations provide the essential funds needed for curriculum development, faculty, scholarships and operating costs.

Starting Wednesday, April 6, we will launch our Annual Fund Participation Drive at the classroom level. Our goal is 100%!! The classroom with the highest percentage of Annual Fund contributors will win a great afternoon out: a special lunch out followed by fun afternoon activities. The lunch has been generously donated by this year’s Annual Fund Chairs Lori and David Butler. The contest is only for the number of contributors, not the amount contributed. Previous contributions to this year's Annual Fund will count towards your class; however, only donations specified for the Annual Fund will count. The contest will conclude Friday, April 29.

Every gift no matter the size helps. Your tax-deductible contribution will make a significant difference to CCS students immediately and in years to come.

We can accept donations online via PayPal using a credit card. You can find a link to our PayPal account via Facebook and our school website.

Hello Junior Kindergarten parents!

Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have written on here, but we have been very busy in Jr. Kindergarten! We are learning our word families through Hooked on Phonics, learning how to write independently and how to write sentences. We are learning basic addition in math with the use of dominoes, reviewing how to tell time, reviewing the value of money and patterns. We are discussing cowboys this week and Texas. Cowboy Day is Friday. This will be a fun day for the class. They are allowed to wear their cowboy attire to school, but please bring tennis shoes if your child is in Extended Care. I will write more later in the week. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Thank you all and have a wonderful week!
