Happy February Room 31,

    We have been busy these past few weeks celebrating Martin Luther King Jr., Groundhog Day, practicing retelling The Mitten and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, writing letters, counting with pennies and nickles, learning about the arctic region, polar bears, Antarctica and penguins.  The students have read 500 books through their reading logs since the holiday break! Our next goal is 1000 books! Keep reading! We have started art class with Ms. Lynn.  Art class is at 12:00 on Wednesdays.  We will try to head up to the green space and journal outside before art when the weather permits. 

    

    Report cards came home on Friday.  Please check blue folders and back packs for white envelopes with their report cards.  Please keep the report card at home, then sign and return the envelope in their blue folders.  

    We have a bunch of fun things coming up in kindergarten!  We will have a Valentine's celebration on Friday Feb. 13th.  We will have fun with Valentine's Day all week and then have a party in the afternoon Friday.   We would like to decorate shoe boxes for our valentine mailbox.  Please send a shoe box to school by Wednesday if you have one. Does anyone have a shoe box connection? 

Tuesday the 24th will be kindergarten's 100th day of school! Can you believe it?  We will have an all day celebration of the number 100 and all we have accomplished so far this year.  It will be a fun day full of counting!
