Week of February 11th

Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten!  Permission slips for our next field trip on February 19^th, to Village Farms are due this Tuesday, February 12th.  Please fill them out and send them in with the $4.00(cash only) by Tuesday.  We already have our 4 parents that will be going with us that day, but thank you for the support!  Remember, if your student is not able to make it on the field trip that day the money is NONREFUNDABLE.

Valentine’s Day is this Thursday, February 14^th so please bring in your Valentine’s Day cards Thursday or earlier.  We have 30 students in our class and instead of writing names on the cards please just leave them blank in the “to” section; only fill out whom it is from.  It is much easier and faster for the students to pass them out to their friends this way.  

The Friday Dress rules have changed and there will be random uniform checks throughout the week. If your student is in dress code they will be able to wear jeans on Friday.  If your student is not in dress code during this random check they will be given a slip of paper that says they did not earn Friday Dress that week.  We will keep a list on the board as well if you have any questions! If you do not get a slip that says No Dress Down, then your student may wear jeans.

This week homework will go home on Monday and it is due Friday.  We will be learning the letter Y and the sound that it makes. This week is Valentine’s Day and Arizona’s birthday so we will be reading lots of nonfiction books about Arizona and our social studies activities will be based around learning about The Grand Canyon State!  For homework you and our student will research and write down three facts about Arizona.  You may use books, the Internet, encyclopedias or even take a trip to library to do some real research.  Please make sure that your student writes these facts themselves.

I'm looking forward to another wonderful week of kindergarten!
