Popcorn "word club"
There are 40 popcorn words/high frequency words that the children will need to know by the end of kindergarten. When a child knows all 40 popcorn words they will receive microwave popcorn to take home and a popcorn word bag. We will also put their name on our popcorn word wall. Keep practicing!!!!
Reminders:
- Outdoor Recess: The children have outdoor recess during each school day except in the most inclement weather; therefore, the children’s outdoor clothing should be appropriate for the weather that day. Weather permitting, students go outside for recess every day. In winter, the temperature and wind chill and weather conditions will be monitored throughout the morning. The weather Website and playground will be checked and outside supervisors consulted to determine whether conditions are appropriate for children's outdoor recess. When the temperature or wind chill is below zero degrees, students will be kept inside for recess. When the temperature or wind chill is 0–10 degrees, students may go outside for a shortened recess period. If a student has a doctor's note or a medical condition, he or she may stay inside in the building office for recess. Determination of whether children will have outdoor recess will be made prior to each recess period, based on the weather at that moment and in the judgment of the principal or his or her designee. Any request for prolonged indoor recess MUST come from the child’s physician.
