Dear
Kindergarten and First Grade Families,
This week during shared reading the first graders learned to
read Flower Garden by Eve Bunting. Kindergarteners learned the
rhyme
Cackle, Cackle, Mother Goose.
In math this week the Kindergarteners used calculators to count
by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. The first graders practiced using greater
than and less than symbols. We all learned about symmetry.
Our Valentine’s Day party will be on Monday, February 14th. It
will only be for the last hour of the day. When the kids come back from
gym at 2:00 we will have our snack, and play some games. I will have
them pass out valentine’s before we go to gym. When the kindergarteners
were in Mr. K’s class some parents signed up to help. From that list I
have Jay & Deanna Osga helping in the classroom, Katie Revolt bringing
plates and cups, Mrs. Corey bringing milk, Mrs. Niederstadt bringing
rice krispie treats, and Mrs. Petrosky bringing in a snack. Mrs. McIsaac
will be bringing in one more healthy snack for us. |
On Monday, February 14th we will be celebrating our 100th day of
school. If you purchased a 100th day t-shirt please have your child wear
it to school that day. As a special homework project have your child
find and collect 100 small items from your home. Examples could be (but
are not limited to) beads, buttons, cheerios, or pennies. Please use the
enclosed Ziplock bag to store your child’s items. Your child can bring
them to school any day before the 14th.
We will be going to Good Behavior Ski Day on Wednesday, February
16th. Please make sure your child has their own lunch on that day. If
they need a field trip lunch from the cafeteria before we go please
fill-out the form inside this week’s folder and return it to me as soon
as possible.
Our mid-winter break will begin Friday, Feb. 18th and go through
Monday, Feb. 21st. There will be no school on the 18th or 21st.
Have a
good weekend, everyone!
Sincerely,
Mrs.
