Week of January 21st

           Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten!  Since the beginning of the school year the class has been trying to earn all the marbles that they need for a party, a donut party to be specific.  Last week they earned all of their marbles and we will be having our party this Friday!  The students voted and they decided that they would like to wear pajamas for their party, it should be a good time!
          Our field trip to Sabino Canyon is this Thursday, January 23^rd.  We will be leaving at 8:45 that morning so please be on time, or your student will have to spend the day in another classroom.  Watch for the paper going home today that explains exactly what your student will need to bring with them for the day.  Thank you for your support!
           We had a great presentation by the founder of Ben’s Bells and we have been practicing kindness ever since!  You may see that your student has a kindness token in their pocket or around their neck.  If it comes home please make sure that it comes back to school the next day, we are looking for acts of kindness on our own campus!
          This week in class we will be reviewing letters and letter sounds, continuing Dino of the Day, and learning some cool facts about the desert so that we will be ready for our field trip on Thursday!  No homework this week, but please keep reading every night with your student.

       Our new goal is to count all the way to 75, and to be able to count by 2’s and 10’s!  We now have a daily shoe tyer of the day to help with all those untied laces!
