The Falcon Eye! 3/29/2024

Monday, April 1st is a half day of school. 

The Dragon King 

A Tanglewood Marionettes Production at KCC! This incredible show will take place on Monday, April 1st. Your child won't want to miss it!

A terrible drought has overtaken the land, and all the world has turned brown and lifeless.  The Dragon King is ruler of the waters, and the people are beginning to wonder why he  has not brought the precious rains in such a very long time. An underwater fantasy based  on Chinese folklore, Tanglewood Marionettes’ latest production tells the tale of a wise  Grandmother who journeys to the bottom of the sea to seek the Dragon King, and the  answers to why he has forsaken the land above. With colorful sea creatures, an exciting  adventure, and all the visual splendor that audiences have come to expect from a  Tanglewood Marionettes production, The Dragon King is a heart-warming tale that will  thrill young and old alike.

Kindergarten Concert

Congratulations on a wonderful performance by our kindergartners led by Ms. C!

Pitter Patter Puppets!

On Wednesday morning, PreK students had an amazing time laughing and learning with Miss Mary Wilson of Pitter Patter Puppets who put on two puppet shows sponsored by the KCC PTO! The shows were engaging and enriching and included skills like rhyming, opposites, comprehension, and colors. All students had a turn to participate and everyone left smiling. Thank you Miss Mary and the KCC PTO!

Parent Pick Up and Buses

In the afternoon, please make sure to pull up and be off your cell phone when approaching the building. Large gaps between cars prevents buses from reaching the bus loop and drastically slows down dismissal. Please be attentive to all traffic laws and to staff directing traffic. We appreciate your patience and participation in this daily process.

Bilingual Read Aloud

Alejandra Liimatainen visited Mrs Blackburn's PreK class to read a story in Spanish. Afterwards, students learned the colors of the rainbow in Spanish! 

Morning Announcements go Live! 

Students at KCC are living our Portrait of a Graduate (Purposeful Collaborator & Communicator) each day with our new and improved morning announcements. Each day, classrooms sign into Google Meets to watch and listen to what is happening at KCC. Students read what is for lunch while others display visuals for students. Students on camera role model how to behave during the announcements and also show students how to perform our daily Calm Classroom breathing routines. 

Virtual Author Visit! 

This week students in second grade were treated to an author visit with Terry Lynn Johnson. She is the author of Sled Dog School, which students have been listening to during Library class. Ms. Johnson spoke with students about the writing process as well as dog sledding. She shared her “model” dogsled so students could see all of the parts. The questions from students were very impressive! We are so thankful to Ms. Johnson for sharing her time with us again this year.

Rock Your Socks! 

On Thursday, we ROCKED OUR SOCKS at KCC to show support for World Down Syndrome Day!  

Yearbook Time!

A message from the PTO!

Happy spring! Is it spring though? Gosh it’s been a cold few days. We have a few exciting announcements that we think will warm you up, though. Thank you to the generosity of several local businesses, the t-shirts our students will be wearing on the day of our Falcon Dance-Off are fully funded!! Some PTO funded excitement has been filling classrooms recently, including a visit from Pitter Patter Puppets. They put on an interactive puppet show for our Pre-K students this week, and it was a hit! 

Our Multicultural Game Night took place this past Thursday. Thank you to all who attended and celebrated all of the amazing cultures that represent our school community. So many fun games and tasty treats!

We are so excited to share another upcoming family fun event- Family Skate at Gallo Ice Arena! The event will take place this Sunday, March 24th from 3:00pm-3:50pm. Rink time and rentals are FREE! We hope to see you there!
