February is here! I can't believe that we are half way through the school year!
There is quite a bit happening throughout the month of February. The kids just recently had another OMSI lesson. This time it was all about Dinosaurs! The kids and I absolutely loved it. Make sure to ask them all about it :)
Report cards will be coming home with your child this Friday, February 6th. Be sure to sign the envelope and send it back with you child asap. I will send another reminder on Friday.
On February 13th our class will be celebrating Valentines day. I sent the Valentines Day newsletter in my previous e-mail. If you did not get it for whatever reason, or you have questions, feel free to e-mail me.
Wednesday, February 18th is late opening once again. Half day kids will be with us until 2:15pm and will need a lunch or lunch money.
Finally, looking further ahead, the kids voted that they would like a "carnival" party for our next celebration. We must earn 20 class points to get this party and are currently at 15. While I have not yet picked a date I just wanted to put it out there for anyone who would like to volunteer on this day. It will be the last hour of school. We will have different stations with carnival like games (not super complex ones) and a treat. The biggest part of this celebration is FACE PAINTING. Your cute kids convinced me that this would just be the "greatest thing ever". Let me know if your interested in volunteering :)

1/5- 1/9
Welcome back!
I hope that you all had a wonderful break! Now it's time to get back to work. I'm so excited for all the learning that we have coming up throughout January.
This week we will be reading "Little quack" and working on the skill of comprehension. In math we are starting a new calender this week. I am also introducing a new activity called Number of the Day. We will be doing this a few times a work in order to build a stronger number sense. New centers will also be rolled out later this week.
MLK day is on January 19th. In social studies with Ms. M the kids will be learning about Martin Luther King. This can be a sensitive subject and therefore you may have some questions coming home from your child. She will be discussing the reason why we honor him.
I will be starting assessments this week as well and continue them throughout the month of January in order to prepare for report cards. This means that I will be pulling kids from the classroom during center time. If you would like to come in between 9:30am-11am to give us some extra support this month please send me an e-mail!
My last note is that we are once again running low on snacks. If you are able please pick something up the next time you are out shopping :)
I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far.
