Chilly weather!
We spent quite a few recesses indoor , doing just dance on the whiteboard and watching a letter land movie about detective dippy duck!
Home reading
We also started picking our own books for home reading, the kids switch their books themselves first thing every morning! And are always eager to share with each other how much they enjoyed their books and if they saw some words we have been learning in class.
Please make sure you read the yellow handout sent home called "the most important kindergarten homework"
MS Read-a-thon
There was a presentation Friday about the ms readathon. Students find sponsors and keep track of how many minutes they read at home for the month of February. There is no obligation for kindergarten to do this and I will only be sending pledge forms home with those whose parents show interest either by emailing me, or writing in their kinder students bear books.
Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day was feb. 2nd. The green class on Friday talked about the predictions made, read a story and learned a song to sing with their puppets they made. The blue class will be doing these activities on Tuesday.
Valentine's Day
Lists were sent home in each kinder's bear books for valentines cards. Our party's will take place on Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th in the afternoon.
It is not mandatory that each child gives out valentines cards, but our classroom rule is you either give them to everyone, or don't hand any out - so there is no hurt feelings.
I will be emailing people who signed up to bring treats this weeks
Reminder. - no classes for students on Monday. First day of classes for the week is tuesday which will be a BLUE CLASS day.
