Kindergarten - Miss Narkis
|
Welcome to Kindergarten! If you have any questions or concerns, please send me in a note with your child. I have been part of the teaching staff here at St. Chris for 13 years and love it. I also taught for 10 years in the public school prior to coming to St. Chris. My whole career has focused on the early childhood years. I find that kindergarten is a challenging but very fun level to teach and at St. Chris I’m pleased to be able to include a spiritual component to my teaching.
Mrs. Irene Foran is the Kindergarten aide for Miss Narkis. |

Happy February!
Happy Catholic Schools Week! This is a short and sweet month that will begin with a very fun and exciting week! We will celebrating what makes our school different from most others –our Catholic beliefs. As you have seen from the weeks’ schedule that went home, there are many special events planned for the children. It all begins with a Mass at 9:15 on Monday. Hope to see you there! This month will also be full of new discoveries as we blast off into outer space and take a look at our solar system. The children are excited to learn about each planet and we will be making our own solar system to hang off the classroom ceiling. The children will also get to watch two different rocket demonstrations that I always include in this unit. We continue to practice daily phonics and apply it to class activities involving reading and phonetic spelling. Word labeling and simple sentences are part of our journal entries now that we are becoming more skilled. In math we have learned to tally and compare groups of objects making them greater than, less than or equal. We are focusing on numbers in the teens and beyond to thirty as we sequence them according to symbols, values and even words! We have pretty much mastered rote counting by 10’s and 5’s and continue to practice base 2. Our first computer class with Mrs. Tassoni was a great success and she was very impressed with the skills the children already have. We look forward to our next session this month on the 17th. As you know we will have our Valentines’ Day party on the 14th. Thanks to all who signed up to send in party items and to those who will be coming in to help. Just as a reminder… PLEASE do not address the valentines with names, just have your children sign them. With such a large number of children it is so much easier for them to hand their valentines out. THANKYOU! *Please remember to sign your child’s report card and return it to school. Have a wonderful winter break! (Feb. 27- Mar 2) |

Today is the first day of December and we will begin this exciting season with Christmas shopping with our fifth grade buddies! We have been looking forward to participating in this great St. Chris tradition. Thanks to all you hard working volunteers. We will be glad to have you with us today! The season of Advent and Christmas will be our focus in the coming weeks. We already learned about and assembled our class Advent wreath and will soon set up the Nativity as well as hear the story of Christ's birth. Generosity is the character trait for December which ties in nicely with our Faith Outreach project for Meals on Wheels. The children will create a laminated book mark with a picture of baby Jesus on the front and a Biblical quote on the back. (John 3:16)
