Dear Families,

Rr week has been a really busy week! The kindergartners learned to read the words are and to. Flashcards have been attached to the newsletter. Please practice these often! They read and brought home 3 little booklets. This week we stressed that in order to read words, your eyes have to actually see the words. (Many during class aren’t always paying attention to where we are, they are looking around the room!) The students heard the story The Runaway Bunny and made their own little bunnies that told where they would go if they could run away. We learned about rainbows. Our centers included learning about rabbits, building words, Abraham Lincoln puppets, working with rice, rectangular robots, number bingo, and books and magazines.

Because next week is such a crazy week, we will NOT have sharing. Remember there is no school on Friday, February 17th or Monday, February 20th. School is dismissed early on Tuesday, February 14th. School is dismissed at 12:20. Please mark your calendars!

We would like to turn the dramatic play center into a vet clinic. Families may send items suitable for a vet clinic to school. Ideas are stuffed animals, stethoscopes, cloth bandages, plastic syringes without the needles, pet supplies, etc. Please write your child’s name or initials on everything!

Conferences are scheduled for next week. If you find that your conference time does not work, please call us at school so that we can reschedule!

Please remember to have your child return the Redhawks Reading slips. If you forget to send it on the assigned day, please send it with your child as soon as possible. We are keeping track of how many many girls and boys reach their reading goal each week and turn in the slips. We have charts hanging in the hallway, and we write each student’s weekly reading total on them. Remember, boys and girls that do not read at home, fill out the slips, and turn them in DO NOT go to the special dog assembly in March. These children stay at school with Mr. Foster.

Please include extra clothes in your child’s backpack. Our supply of extra clothes is dwindling because many families are not sending the extra clothes back! Please check for these extra pants, shirts, sweatshirts, socks, and undies.

Have a really nice weekend! Keep reading!

Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Herink, and Mrs. Howard
