Kindergarten Newsletter for February 16th - February 20th, 2015

*** NO SCHOOL MONDAY the 16th for PRESIDENT’S DAY! ***

Recap Of Last Week: We did lots of valentine crafts, discussed and wrote about how we show our feelings, and worked on 1 more and 1 less in math.

100th Day Museum: Tuesday will be our 100th day of school this year. Watch out for our display of Ways to Show 100 in our hallway!

Math: We will be doing lots of activities about the number 100. We will write to 100, fill in missing numbers on a 100 chart, do some graphing, and build with 100 cups.

Literacy: Remember to practice reading with your kindergartner at home. Use the mini books we send home from school, so your child can show you how he/she is doing. When reading, remind your student to track along with their pointing finger so you can see where they are. As they become better readers, students are often eager to stop tracking but are not yet able to read without omitting or mixing up words.

Writing: This week we will concentrate on our 100th day theme. On the 100th day of school all of us will write about things we want to do before turning 100.

Social Studies, Art & Science: We will be making some art about 100. We will also read about why we celebrate President’s Day and do an art project too. Thursday is Chinese New Year, so we will make Chinese lanterns.

Laps for LAPS: We had lots of fun at Laps for LAPS. Thank you to those of you who came along and made this event a success. Remember to turn in any pledge sheets.

Family Fun night / Dr. Seuss Celebration: On Friday, February 27th, we will have a free evening of family fun from 5:30-7:00. There will be activities with a Dr. Seuss theme  and a dance party! Bring the whole family and enjoy some free family fun.

LAPSK Auction Night: Mark your Calendars for Saturday April 18th and make plans to join us for the LAPSK Auction/Dinner at Big Al’s. We will be putting together an auction basket as a classroom for the silent auction. If you would like to be in charge of organizing this, let me know. We need to pick a theme, collect donations from Kindergarten families and then put it together. This would count as volunteer time.

Other Fundraisers:
- Box Tops for Education,
- Fred Meyer (you can support our school by going to https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4 and adding Little Acorn to your rewards account),
- Scholastic Book Orders (http://www.scholastic.com/ our school code is GX4F3),
- Shoparoo: Little Acorn is now a member of Shoparoo (shoparoo.com). You can download the Shoparoo App to earn points for our school.

Volunteering: If you would like to volunteer in class and come see what your Kindergartner is doing, we would love to have you on Fridays. Your time in class is very helpful and you get a chance to see what our day is like and how your child is interacting. A sign-up sheet is outside the classroom.

Sickness: If your Kindergartener is sick, please call the school office, or you can send me an email or a text so we can keep track of illnesses.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Send a text, give me a call, or you can email. I am here to help you and your child have a great kindergarten year!

Thank you for sharing your child with us,
Teacher Sinead & Teacher Caroline
