February!!!!

February is one of our biggest months!

February 5th we will be celebrating our 100th day of school. As a kindergarten, we think it is fun to dress up like a 100 year old. Your students are welcome to participate by dressing up like a 100 year old person. We will be celebrating throughout the day during our math and reading lessons as well as our centers.

February 7th will be our field trip to the Gateway Children's Museum. Please send your child to school at 8am and pick up at 12:30pm. This is for both morning AND afternoon students. If you are volunteering, make sure you contact my parent coordinators and arrive at school at 8:30am for bus loading. We ask that if you are volunteering, please do not bring little ones. Mrs. Sheldrake's extended day class will still be held that day.

February 14th will be our Valentine's Day celebration. If your child is passing out Valentine's, please only write his/her name on the Valentine in the "FROM" section. Please do not write names of the students in the class on the Valentine's--in the past, this has proven too hard and time consuming when passing out. In the AM we have 20 students and 3 teachers (me and our aides). In the PM we have 16 students and 2 teachers (me and our aide).

Homework

It looks as though the homework was sent back from the copiers wrong. Please finish the worksheets that are there and ignore the one that is not.

Classroom Volunteers

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to our first full week of school. For the rest of the school year we will be doing centers a little bit differently and I need your help. When you come in, you will have a table to work with and an activity. I'll also need help putting papers and books into backpacks. 

Please sign up on this Google doc for classroom volunteers, I know that sometimes schedules change so I want you to have access of when you volunteer. If you want to volunteer more that once a month that is great, once every few months, when you have time, etc. Please sign up! If you'd like a set schedule (i.e. first Monday each month) sign up for all the days. There can be up to 2 volunteers each day. We wont be having any volunteers on Friday, unless we decide to do a project of some kind. We will use this sign up instead of the google calendar.

You will also be required to sign in at the front desk and get a name tag. We've been ask to send you back to the office if you haven't checked in.
