For February to be a short month, it is a busy one. Hope you found a very special Valentine that was made just for you. It left school on Friday inside the money pouch in the take home binder.
Tuesday is the only day to turn in money for the
Kindergarten grade level t-shirt. The price is $12.00 and be sure to mark a size.
This shirt will be able to be worn on Tuesdays with blue jeans for the remainder of the school year.
Tuesday is Nancy's Italian Ice for $1.00.
Send in class picture money by Wednesday. The picture will be taken on Thursday. School uniforms will be worn for the class photo.
We are going to be investigating the letter Hh this week in reading. We will be working with the high frequency words of: that, are, do. To celebrate the letter Hh, the children can wear a hat to school on Thursday. We will do activities with the hat after our class picture is taken. If you are concerned about hat hair for the class portrait, place the hat inside the book bag.
We needed a few extra days to work on addition. Hopefully, we will finish the unit the is week.
Last week we had two entries into our poetry journal. The first one celebrated hearts. The second poem was used to visualize and make a movie in our heads. We are learning so many ways to help us become a lifelong, comprehending reader. Look for our poetry journal in Friday's book bag.
Our field trip is Friday. There are a few tickets remaining if you
want to join us ($9.00 for chaperones) Be sure to wear yellow field trip t-shirts on
Friday. We will eat lunch when we return to the building (around 11:45) so please make sure your child eats a fulfilling breakfast. I will send an email out to chaperones on Wednesday evening.
Email me if you would like to help out on certain Fridays from
11:30-1:30 with science rotations. Or if you are available on
Wednesdays/Thursdays for art activities from 9:15-10:30. I will set up a
schedule from those who want to volunteer and avoid sending out mass
emails asking for help.
DATE CHANGE: The book character parade has been moved to Friday, March 7 at 2:00 PM. Just more time to read more books with your child and decide on the perfect character to be in the parade - remember this is NOT an opportunity to wear a Halloween costume. This is a fun parade and you are invited to attend and cheer when you see Room 114.

Save the date: The end of the year celebration for Kindergarten will be Friday, May 23 at 9:00 AM in the lunchroom. I'm not wishing time away but I wanted to give you plenty of notice for work schedules. We will have a short celebration of Room 114 after the conclusion of the Kindergarten program. If you are asking time off from work, you will be at the school until 11:00. I don't like to think about the end of school so I will not mention this again until the beginning of May.
Camera update: I found my camera last Monday morning. I used it Monday and Tuesday and then it disappeared. Obviously, I am having a difficult time keeping up with my camera at the moment. Thankful for a back up camera. One day you will come to the blog and see pictures of Stephen Fite's field trip, Special Person #11 and the making of our Valentine's mailbox.
Contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
