Kindergarten Newsletter Week of October 12, 2015 Mrs. Riedy Kindergarten Newsletter Week of October 12, 2015 Mrs. Riedy *I loved seeing the responses from parents this week about the rhyming HW. It looks like it created a great opportunity to practice rhyming in a really fun way! I will look for more homework games in the future. Your children were SO excited to tell me about how many times they won against you! *We had our first mystery reader on Wednesday and the kids had a blast! Feel free to me if you’d like to sign up! *I loved seeing the responses from parents this week about the rhyming HW.

Student Spotlight: The student of the week is Brennan Tadrzynski! Brennan loves to write stories and is very creative with the details he adds into his sketches. He is GREAT at being a kind friend. You will often see Brennan checking on a sad student, saying an encouraging word, and cheering on his classmates. We are lucky to have Brennan in our class!
