Kindergarten News
~~In Phonics this week we will be learning the vowel letter Ee with its short sound as in elephant and egg. We will be focusing on the short vowel sound. We will try Show and Tell, so start looking for an item to share!
~~In Math we will continue with counting to 100 using a hundred square. Please practice at home counting orally to 100 by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.
~~Monday, February 2nd is our tentative 100th day of school! We are looking forward to a day filled with “100” activities. Students are asked to dress as if they were 100 years old and to bring their own bagged collection of 100 items to school. (A detailed note is being sent home explaining our activities for the 100th day.)
~~Homeroom parents have begun planning for the Valentine’s Day party, so please send in your child’s party money as soon as possible. We have asked for $4.00 to cover the cost of the Valentine’s and Easter parties.
~~Kindergarten is planning a Family Fun night on Wednesday, February 11th for Kindergarten students and their parents/guardians. Our theme is “Kindergarten has Heart” and we will be doing various activities relating to feelings and emotions. Parents are asked to complete and return the bottom portion of the pink note enclosed in your child’s folder, so refreshments and supplies can be purchased and plans completed. Thank you!
~~Report cards were sent home Friday, January 23rd. Parents are asked to sign and return the bottom portion. Review, sign, and return the report card as soon as possible.
