Recap
Of Last Week: We spent our week doing activities
to celebrate that we had passed the 100th Day of school this year.
We had so much fun showing 100 in different ways, counting to 100, and of course
with our exhibitions for the 100th Day Museum!
Math: This week we will begin
subtraction. We will play a fun subtraction game called Subtraction Munchies,
where students will start with a quantity of rice chex and then eat some to
experience the meaning of ‘take away.’
Literacy: Remember to
encourage your students to ‘sound out’ words you encounter in your daily lives.
Children are often surprised to discover there is writing all around them in
their world and not only in school!
Writing: We are really
seeing students feel pride in their work when they get to ‘publish’ the stories
they have written by reading them aloud to the rest of the class. We are
working on making sure to use finger spaces between our words.
Social Studies, Art & Science: This week we will be learning about Dental Health. We will talk
about ways to take care of our teeth and do an experiment with some hardboiled
eggs to show how important brushing really is. On Thursday, we will be lucky to
have a visitor (Noah’s mom, Kristin) coming in to talk to us about our teeth
and why we go to the dentist.
LAPSK Auction
Night: The theme of
our basket is going to be ‘Kindergarten’s Favorite Things.’ Watch for a sign-up
sheet outside the classroom to donate items that the students have chosen as
some of their favorite items from this year. We will take your voluntary
dontations up until April 1st. Then mark your
calendars for Saturday April 18th and make plans to join us for the
LAPSK Silent Auction & Dinner at Big Al’s. The student who returns the most box tops by Friday February 27th
will receive a free ticket to the Auction! Ticket prices are $18 per person
or $34 per couple until April 10th. After that they will be $22 per
person or $40 per couple.
This is an
adult-only night, and a night where we can have lots of fun, play games and
have a good time. **Families who purchase auction tickets will get free bowling
coupons.
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.

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.

kindergarten year!
