We hope everyone enjoyed a nice long weekend with friends and family. We have enjoyed hearing about all of the fun activities had over the weekend.
Hammond Honor Code in Tuesday Talk
A Skyhawk...
is Kind to others
is Courteous and Polite
is Honest
Works hard
and never gives up
During Tuesday Talk this morning kindergarteners discussed the Hammond Honor Code. Above you will see the code and what it means to be a Skyhawk. Today's focus was on being kind to others and what that feels and looks like. Take the time to say this together with your child and talk about what kindness means in your house. Sharing common vocabulary at school and at home can bridge more understanding for your Skyhawk. Thank you in advance for your help with this!
Sight Word Fun!
In class, we are beginning activities using sight word recognition. Next Tuesday, your child will bring the first set of sight words home. Throughout the weeks ahead we will give you suggestions of fun ways to practice these words at home.
Kindergarten Milestone
After two weeks of school, we have enjoyed watching your kindergarteners gain independence as they walk confidently into their classrooms, ready to begin their day. For those of you who continue to escort your child to the classroom, it is now time to release them in the morning carpool line. We have ample fourth grade student helpers who are happy to escort your child into the building.This gives each child a great sense of self-confidence!
Please note that if your child arrives between 7:30- and 7:45, they should walk to the Kiva where Mrs. Hall (a kindergarten teacher) and many other students are enjoying time together before the school day begins.
