Busy busy!

We have lots of exciting things coming up in February. Our PTA is putting on a circus on February 9. Thank you to everyone who has sent in your donations for our classroom basket. I have received a few things. Keep them coming!

Wednesday is the 100th day of school. We will dress up as 100 year old people. Also don't forget to have your child create a collection of 100 things. We've got some going on our bulletin board already. Your child gets to share them with the class before we hang them up.

Next Wednesday, February 6 is Global School Play day and I cannot tell you how excited I am. This is the perfect opportunity for kindergartners. Your child may bring a toy or game from home to use during the day. We will have some basic rules like: no technology, no weapons or violent toys, be kind, take turns. Other than that we will play all day! It should be awesome!

This week is very cold!!! Though we don't go outside if it gets too cold, there are times when the weather is just on the edge and we take a chance and bundle up and go. Please make sure your child has hats, gloves and a big heavy coats so that they are prepared if we do go.

Here are our learning objectives for last week:

Fundations: reading words by segmenting and blending the sounds, quick recall of letter names & sounds for fluency

Reading: Checking the picture for a clue, then cross checking with the first letter

Writing: We took our first writing assessment! Then we had some time to free write with friends.

Math: Understanding adding and subtraction, showing thinking on paper

Social Skills: Following directions the first time they are given

A few pictures from this week. There aren't a ton!

Congrats to our kindergarten Spelling Bee winners!
