HELLO EVERYONE! ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT HAVE A SUPPLY LIST FOR FULL DAY KINDERGARTEN… WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU PROVIDE YOUR STUDENT WITH THEIR OWN (DURABLE) SET OF HEADPHONES. We will be using them daily. So if possible please send them with your student their first day of school (you are welcome to bring them in early to testing). They do not need to be expensive. In all honestly a cheaper not so fancy pair have generally lasted longer than the more expensive decorative kind, but it is your choice. We will store them in their own ziplock bag. (NO EAR BUDS!!!….PLEASE)

Your child will have home access to a Raz-Kids account this school year.

Raz-Kids is an online leveled-reading program. Students can listen to books, read books, record themselves reading the books, take short quizzes to check for comprehension, and personalize their avatar and rocket in the Star Zone.

We will use student data from our Kindergarten entry assessments to determine reading level. Please note that these levels are adjustable. Let us know if you feel the level is too difficult or too easy. There will be an adjustment period as we determine the right fit for each child.

To access the program simply click here: RAZ-KIDS
Teacher login: chillkinder
Password: (will be provided during your child’s Kindergarten assessment) If you want to get started before your child’s assessment appointment, let me know and I’ll send you the password.

Thank you to everyone who joined me and Mrs. Roper on ZOOM tonight! It was SO FUN to see all your new faces! I hope you are as excited as we are to get this year started!

If you still haven’t signed up for testing please do this ASAP. There are still some times available. If there is not a time that will work for you please send me an email and we can work something out. I will be sending an email out tomorrow to those that haven’t signed up yet.
