Feb. 10

Dear Families,

        We have quite a bit going on next week!  Tuesday is Valentine’s Day, and it is our 100th day of Kindergarten—I don’t know where the time has gone. J We will be doing some 100th day activities in the morning, and then our Valentine’s party will start shortly after lunch.  I did send home a class list with each student yesterday to help them with writing names on their Valentines.  If you are planning to send Valentines with your child, please make sure that there is one for each student. 

            We will begin practicing the letter Ll next week and our new sight words will be my and we.  I will be sending home sight word cards next week.  We have also begun talking about an author’s purpose for writing a book.  When you read with your child, ask them what they think the author’s purpose was for writing that book.  We have met our newest beanie friend – Peekin’ Poodle.  She is our reading cheerleader!  Ask your child to practice the cheer for you! J

            In science, we have been learning about healthy bodies and healthy teeth.  February is dental health month.  Please encourage your child to brush each morning and night to keep a clean and healthy smile.
