Flanagan Forum

Thank you so much for all of the school supplies that you wonderful kindergarten families sent in last week. We are once again ready to work, craft, and create! Thank you also for the sweet Valentine gifts. I am continually amazed and humbled by the generous and thoughtful things you do for me. Love and thanks to you all!
This week we will continue our study of presidents and American Symbols. We will practice sorting money by size, color, and value, and will play ‘store’ in the housekeeping center to strengthen our money skills.

We are already preparing for our field trip to Stuffington Bear Factory on March 5th. The cost of the field trip is $12 per student. (Please see attached note.) If you have already paid for all field trips through tax credit donation please disregard this notice.

The Flanagan Forum will now be posted weekly on our class blog at growinginkindergarden.blogspot.com. If this online version works well I may discontinue the hard copy (paper) sent home each Monday to save trees. Just trying to do my part!
