The kindergartners are enjoying learning our class musical, “How Does Your Garden Grow?”. Thank you for helping your child learn his/her part. More info will be sent home when we secure a date for our show.
This week we will travel to Stuffington Bear Factory on our third field trip. Please drop your child off by the kindergarten gate at 8:15 on Thursday, March 5th. We will return at 12:30. Please meet your child in front of the school by the flagpole. Each student will need a sack lunch and drink. Thank you to Mrs. Pace, Mrs. Liano, Mrs. Ganem and Mrs. Haltom for volunteering to chaperone our trip.
This month we will focus on spring, insects, and St. Patrick’s Day of course. (I’m not called Flanagan for nuttin’!) We will continue to build on our reading skills and will practice addition. We will also introduce telling time to the hour. Please practice using the clock with your child at home.

This Thursday is our field trip to the Childsplay performance of “Busy Town” in Tempe. Our class will meet in our classroom at 8:15 on this day. Please send a sack lunch and drink with your child. We will return around 12:30pm. Please meet your child in front of the school (by the flagpole) at this time.
This week the kindergartners will finish their fabric unit by sewing quilt squares. This has been a fun and educational science unit and I look forward to our field trip to Stuffington Bear Factory in March as a culmination of fabric.
We will have visits from several parents this week who will speak about their job in the community. Let me know if you would like to set up a time to visit with our class about your career.
Our Valentine’s Day party will be held on Friday, February 13th at 1:30pm. All are welcome to join us. If your child would like to pass out Valentine cards we ask that each child sign his/her name on the cards but leave the envelopes blank. This makes it much easier to pass out the cards in the Valentine holders. There are 23 children in our class.
Happy Groundhog Day! Ask your child if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow.
