Week of February 25th

Welcome to another week of kindergarten!  Get your calendars out, time to plan for our end of the year celebration!  This year we will do our kindergarten celebration on Friday, May 17^th and start around 9:00.  This is a big day for the students so please plan a fun day for you and your student afterwards!  I know getting time off from work can be a challenge sometimes, so I want to make sure everyone has plenty of time!

Our field trip to Village Farms was so educational and fun!  The students had a wonderful time and learned so much about healthy eating, composting, planting seeds and even how to milk a real cow!  If you ever get the chance, you can visit the gardens whenever they are open and your student could show you around.  They also do a movie every Friday night, with popcorn if you are interested!

This week homework will go home on Monday and it is due Friday.  We will be learning the letter D and the sound that it makes. This week is Dr. Seuss’s birthday so we will be reading many, many Dr. Seuss classics!  For homework your student will need to make up some of their own Dr. Seuss type characters! Along with writing down their name they will need to illustrate their silly character!  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.

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.

I'm looking forward to another great week!
