Popcorn Words

Popcorn Words are words that "POP UP!" frequently in reading and writing. You might also hear them referred to as "sight words," or "high frequency" words. Each week we will be working on 2 or 3 new popcorn words. Our goal is for students to recognize these words instantly, without having to sound them out. Please practice these words with your child each week. Thank you for your help!

Popcorn Word List:

I, red, am, blue, see, a, my, brown, the, is, green, can, go, yellow, to, it, orange, here, are

Important Information

If there are any changes to your child's dismissal plan, please let your child's teacher know by sending an email, a written note in your child's folder, or call the school office at (817) 744-6000. We want to make sure your kiddo gets to the right place! Thank you for helping us out!

If your kiddo is absent, please send an email to your child's teacher and to Kelly Worthy at kelly.worthy@kellerisd.net. She handles our attendance.

Please send a refillable water bottle to school. We will love you forever if you send "pop top" lid water bottles! Bottles with twist-off lids can spill really easily. 😊

Accidents and spills happen! Please send an extra change of clothes in a ziplock bag in your child's backpack.

Please bring a healthy snack to school every day. We eat VERY early (10:40/50) and the kids need a little snack to get them through the afternoon.

Students are allowed to bring nut products for lunch, but need to bring nut-free snacks for snack times. We are trying to keep our rooms as clean and safe as possible for students with nut allergies and this will help us out a lot!

Classroom doors open at 7:40. Students arriving before 7:40 will need to walk to the gym. A Kindergarten teacher will come and get the students and bring them back to their classroom. The dismissal time for Kindergarten (and their older siblings) is at 3:15.

Happy Birthday!

Co-Curr Schedules

Your child will go to three Co-Curr (Co-Curricular) classes a week: Art, Music and PE. They will have a set schedule Mon-Thurs and we will rotate classes each Friday. You can print the rotation schedule for your convenience.

Students will need to wear tennis shoes to PE. They will not be able to participate without them. Sometimes it helps to pack an extra pair of tennis shoes in your child's backpack - just in case!
