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.
