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

Thank you all for joining us on our trip to the Jelly Belly Factory this morning! We had a super fun day! ** Please remember that Monday is a holiday. Enjoy a LONG three-day weekend! We will see you all on Tuesday for our Valentine's Day party. Here’s what’s coming up for next week…

• PARENT Valentine HOMEWORK!!!!!!!! Please make sure that you bring your parent valentine on Tuesday for our parties. We will be presenting these in class on Tuesday, so if you would like to be here for that, feel free to join us!

• Student Valentines & Valentine Boxes---please send both of these to school on, Tuesday, February 14^th. Please help your child bring in 30 Valentines for his/her classmates. Please have your child sign ONLY his/her name on all of the Valentines. They will not be delivered if they are addressed to specific friends because it's too hard to manage.

• ALL are welcome at our Valentine’s Day party, but please reserve the party craft supplies for the Kinder kids! Feel free to come in and enjoy the day with your child!
• Read to Succeed- Six Flags Read to Succeed Reading logs are due on Friday, February 15.

• 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!!!”
