Dear Families,
Jj week was a very jumbled week. We worked hard at getting our 4 reading lessons in and one math lesson. We will be moving some of our Jj activities into next week. Our centers were all Valentine’s Day related. Centers included counting and patterning with valentine m & m’s, conversation heart graphing, making a valentine, a valentine coloring paper, a valentine patterning paper, valentine bingo, and opening valentines.
Please send snow boots, pants, gloves/mittens every day! When we can, we will be going outside for the big recess!
THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH.
The kindergartners are really improving in reading! It is obvious that many families are practicing at home. The boys and girls enjoy reading in school, and we hope that they are showing you all the booklets and papers that we are able to send home.
Next week we will be learning about the letter Xx. Sharing will be free choice because not many things begin with Xx.
Kindergarten Round Up is scheduled for the week of April 26th. KINDERGARTNERS WILL NOT BE ATTENDING SCHOOL DURING THIS ENTIRE WEEK! We are warning our families now so that arrangements can be made.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Owens and Mrs. Daugherty

Dear Families,
This has been a very crazy short week with YUCKY weather! This week when we were at school we learned about the letter Yy. The kindergartners made Months of the Year booklets. The boys and girls need to be able to say the months of the year in order for the next report card. Reviewing the months of the year at home would be really helpful! We are learning about dimes and counting by 10’s. Last week we started centers. During center time, the kindergartners rotate through 7 different activities. The children spent approximately 10 minutes at each center and moved when the timer rang. Centers included yahtzee, the dramatic play house, yachts and a yacht dot to dot, letter tiles, the rice table, blocks, and working on our months of the year booklets.
Next week we will be learning about the letter Dd. Sharing needs to be something that starts with the letter Dd. Next week we would like to turn the playhouse into a doctor’s office. If you have some doctor type items at home that we can use in our doctor’s office, send the items in. Please be sure that you write your name on everything that you want returned!
Keep working on those valentines! Valentines may be brought to school between Wednesday, Feb. 3rd and Thursday, February 11th. Our party will be on the 11th. We will be contacting volunteers to provide treats and napkins this week.
STRIPS! WE NEED READING STRIPS! KINDERGARTNERS HAVE TO RETURN THEIR REDHAWK READING STRIPS! EVERYTIME YOUR CHILD BRINGS IN HIS/HER STRIP, A PIZZA PIECE IS GLUED ONTO THEIR PIZZA IN THE HALLWAY. STUDENTS THAT READ AT HOME AND RETURN ALL 4 STRIPS EARN A PERSONAL PAN PIZZA AT THE PIZZA PALACE. NO STRIPS....NO PIZZA!
Please remember that our outside doors are locked at 8:30 each morning. If you bring your child to school late, then he/she needs to come in the main entrance by the multipurpose room.

Dear Families,
What a week! We learned about Martin Luther King, Jr. and dictated two facts we learned about him on a paper. The kindergartners practiced buying kindergarten items using pennies and made Ee booklets. We finished the color word worksheet and the January calendar from last week. We made a list of animals that hatch out of eggs and learned about the four parts of an egg.
Next week we will be studying the letter Yy. Since there aren’t many things that start with Yy, kindergartners may bring in any free choice item. Since there is no school on Monday, January 18th due to teacher meetings, the Monday sharing people may bring their sharing item any day next week.
Some families are thinking about Valentine’s Day already. Children can choose to have a valentine for each child in their particular group or one for each child in the class. (This means that reds could give a valentine to only the reds, or the reds and the blues. The blues could give a valentine only to the blues, or the the blues and the reds.) Attached to this newsletter is the list of names for each group. We encourage children to start working on them early. Writing their own name 20 to 39 times takes a long time. Families can help write the students’ names that the valentines will be given to.
PLEASE SEND BOOTS, HATS, AND MITTENS EVERYDAY TO SCHOOL!!!!!! When the weather allows it, the students go outside for the big recess. We want to be prepared when that happens!
We have had a lot of colds and other sick bugs in the classroom. We try to keep germs spreading to a minimum, but that is difficult. We wash hands often, clean the toys, tables, and pencils, and encourage students to cough and sneeze into their elbows instead of their hands. You will be called to pick up your child if we believe that he/she is too sick to be at school. We hope that you understand.
We hope you can keep warm this winter weekend!
Mrs. Daugherty and Mrs. Owens
SOME UPCOMING DATES TO REMEMBER:
February 1 - 2:00 dismissal and conferences from 4 - 8 p.m.
February 4 - Conferences from 4:30 - 8:00 p.m.
February 5 - No School - Comp Day!
February 11 - Valentine’s Day parties (We think!)
February 12 - No school due to professional development meetings!
