February
6-10th
Thank
you to all who dressed up to celebrate the
100th
day of school! What a FUN day we had!!!
Here’s
what’s coming up for next week…
- Jelly Belly Factory field trip is Friday, Feb. 10th. Be sure your permission slip is in and you've told your teacher your driving preference. It will be a MORNING day for all students. All students attend school from 8:30 – 11:30.
- PARENT HOMEWORK!!!!!!!! We hope that you are all diligently working on your Parent Valentines!!!! Please remember that it doesn’t need to be a BIG deal. It can be in the form of a homemade card, a small collage, a small poster, a homemade book, anything you would like. Our intention is for you to take some time to shower your child with love, and send it to school IN SECRET. We will keep them a secret until Valentine’s Day when we will present them to your child, in front of the class. Feel free to add photos, sparkle, glitter, doilies, scrapbook paper, stickers…whatever you love, (please no food) and send it to school no later than Feb. 10th. Thank you and have fun creating!!
- Reminder about Valentine’s Day & our classroom parties. We hope you have all had an opportunity to sign up to bring in something for our class parties. We could not do what we do without your help! THANK YOU!!! Please plan to bring in your child’s VALENTINE BOX on the day of our party, Feb. 14th. Your child can also bring in 30 valentines for classmates on the 14th, NOT before. Please have your child SIGN his/her Valentines ONLY. They will not be delivered if they are addressed to specific friends. It is much too difficult to manage!!
- Our classroom theme next week is Dental Health. Our new word wall word is “are.” We now know the following words: I, like, see, a, is, the, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, am, look, are, saw, went & are.
- Because next week is Dental Health week, we will be making a collage of healthy vs. UNhealthy foods for our teeth. If you get coupons or grocery store ads, we would love it if you could send them in for us to use for this center. Since we will be cutting them up, they will not be returned. 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 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 while taking a walk outside. “Today I took a walk with my dad around the block. We went to the creek and heard birds chirping in the trees. We also heard the wind blowing the grass and the weeds. Then we heard a fire engine siren far away. I like listening to the sounds outside.” (in Kindergarten writing of course)
- 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 did not bring their book bag to reading group. Thank you!!
