Write and Share
Homework- is going home today. We are asking you to send in 100 of
something in a ziplock bag and write
about it. It should be 100 of the same item. (ie. marshmallows, cheerios,
pennies, chocolate chips, cotton balls, buttons, noodles, etc.) It should be
something you have around the house. Please NO NUTS and do not buy anything. Students
will present what they brought throughout next week, so please bring it in as
soon as you can. Thank you.

Parent Valentine to your child – This
week a note went home asking you to make a beautiful Valentine
for your child. This is a surprise we will give to them on the day of
our party. Please be creative and make it special for them (ie. add photos,
stickers, glitter, poems). They will always remember this special valentine
from you! You can send them in a folder or envelope to your child’s teacher as
soon as you complete them. Please do NOT send in any gifts or candy with your
Parent Valentine. It is due to your child’s teacher by Friday, February
10th. Thank you.
·
Valentine Mailboxes-
Please have your child decorate a shoe box or any box of similar size to
collect all their Valentines in. Help them to make it unique. There are lots of
fun, creative ideas on Pinterest and Google. Please make sure their name can
be clearly seen on their mailbox. This is where the children will
deposit the valentines to your child. ****** Due to limited space, please
do NOT bring them until Friday, February 10th. Thank you!
·
Valentine’s for Classmates-The
children love to give their classmates valentines. Please make sure to send
your child with 30 valentines.
Have your child sign their name in the “from” section, but just
address them to: my friend in the “to” section. Do NOT
put individual names on the valentines. We do not have enough time to help your
child pass out to specific children. Thank you for your understanding. Please
have your child bring his/her valentines ON the day of our party on February 14th,
not before.
Kindergarten provides
their own prizes for our Pride Card Drawings every Friday. If you are willing
and/or able to donate some little $1 prizes for our prize box, we would greatly
appreciate it!!!! Please do NOT send in any candy. THANK YOU!
·
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 3 sentences on only one topic. Please do NOT spell words for your child. Instead, help them to stretch out their
sounds. They must use their very best
handwriting, USING CORRECT LETTER FORMAITON, as this is a very important skill
for Kindergarten.
·
Writing—Our writing job
is the same all month. We are STILL
writing about the way people look.
Please have your child write at least two sentences about
the way someone in your family looks.
For example, “My mom has short blond hair and big blue eyes. She is tall. Her smile is beutifl.”
(in Kindergarten writing of course)
We will be having our Show Off Writing at the beginning of next week, so
please help your child practice at home the next few days.
·
REMINDER Please be sure
that your child returns their book bag in their folder everyday. We cannot send a new book home
with them to practice reading if they do not bring their book bag to reading
group. Thank you!!
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!!
