Kindergarten Newsletter February 8th-12th


I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to all of those who contributed in making my birthday a fantastic and special day!  Kindergarten is ALWAYS a wonderful place to spend my birthday every year!!   Thank you for making me feel so special and blessed!!!!  -Mrs. Barron
 
Here’s what’s coming up for next week…   

     · Conversation Hearts- If you signed up to bring a class set of conversation heart boxes, please send them in by Tuesday, February 9th. We need the hearts for centers rather than the party. Thank you!!!!

·      Please send in ALL supplies for the Valentine’s Day party ASAP (except for perishable food items) so that we can inventory and figure out what we still need!  If you have not signed up to donate, it’s NOT too late!  There are still empty slots on Signup Genius!!!! Please let your teacher know if you have not received the Signup Genius. 

·        PARENT Valentine HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!    Please send your valentines to school no later than Thursday, February 11th.   Be CREATIVE- add glitter, stickers, photos, doilies, scrapbook paper, etc (please no food). We would hate to have any child left out, so please be sure to get those in by Thursday. Thank you and have fun creating!! We will be presenting these to your child on Friday, so if you would like to be here for that, feel free to come in! 

·        Student Valentines & Valentine Boxes---please send both of these to school on the day of our party, Friday, February 12th.  Please help your child bring in 30 Valentines for his/her classmates. Please have your child ONLY sign his/her name on all of the Valentines. They will not be delivered if they are addressed to specific friends.

·        ALL are welcome at our Valentine’s Day party, but please reserve the party craft supplies for the Kinders!  Please come in and enjoy the day with your child!
·         
·        Read to Succeed- Six Flags Read to Succeed Reading logs are due on Friday, February 12.
·         
·        Sharing- Next week’s letter is “Vv”. Please remember to have your child write 3 clues in sentence format, then practice reading them aloud. If your child’s share day falls on a holiday, please have them bring their share on another day of that week.

·        Our theme for next week is Valentine’s Day, and our new word wall word this week is “up.”  We now know the following words:  I, like, see, a, is, the, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, we, am, look, said, are, saw, went, with & up.

·        NO School on Monday, February 8th (Lincoln’s birthday) and Monday, February 15th (President’s Day).

·        WEEKLY HOMEWORK—Please have your child complete 1-2 pages per day.  Please help and encourage your child to USE THE LINES when writing words and to write at least 2-3 sentences on only one topic.  Have your child complete their work in their very best handwriting, USING CORRECT LETTER FORMATION, as this is a very important skill for Kindergarten.

·        Writing—Our writing job is the same all month.  We are NOW writing using SOUND words.  Please have your child write at least two sentences about the sounds you hear from your favorite animal.  “My dog is very noisy at home.  When someone comes to the door and rings the doorbell, I hear WOOF WOOF!!!”

·        READING Books—We are currently doing report card assessments and our reading groups are on hiatus for the time being.  Please continue to read with your child every night.

Thank you again for all that you do at home to support your child’s learning.  We appreciate all that you do!  Please feel free to email with any concerns or questions!  Thank you!!
