February Is Here!

February will be an exciting time in kindergarten. First, we will be having our Valentine's Day party on Monday, February 14th. If you would like to come in to help out for about an hour please let me know. Our party will begin around 12:45.

Tentatively we will celebrate the 100th day of school on Wednesday, February 16th. Please send in 100 small items with your child on that day. I will be sending home and orange paper for you and your child to write clues about the 100 items.

In Science we will be talking about dental health all of this month. We will be reading books and doing activities to learn about ways to keep our teeth clean and healthy. You can review the worksheets that your child brings home to help encourage keeping teeth healthy and clean!

In Math we are trying very hard to practice counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. While many of us are doing and excellent job counting by 10's, 2's and 5's have been much more difficult. Next week we will learn about even and odd numbers.

Next week we will read our last story in Unit 3 of Language Arts. We will take our Unit 3 test on Monday, February 14th. It would be good to review letters, sounds (including beginning, middle and ending sounds), sight words, character, setting, main idea, and plot.

We have just started writing our final draft into our class book. Things are going great so far! I will send home information about purchasing a copy of the book next week.

Remember there is no school on February 18th and 21st.
Have a great weekend!
