We will shop at the book fair on Wednesday March 19. If you plan on sending in money for the book fair, please make sure to send the cash in an envelope or baggie, labeled with your child’s name, and that it is for the Book Fair. We have other things going on and it helps keep us organized. If you would like to buy your child a gift card online, you can use the link below.

Happy Monday!

I had a few questions about the timeline project and the St. Patrick’s Day Le[rechaun traps. I have included both notes that went home below.

BOTH are due on Friday the 14th. I apologize for this but unfortunately the timing of the end of the marking periods for grades lined up with St. Patrick’s Day. You can send the projects in ANY day this week. You do not need to wait until Friday.

The Timeline Project IS GRADED. The Leprechaun trap is NOT. We do the traps because it is a fun way to spark creativity and their imagination! we will use the ‘results’ to do our writing on Monday the 17th!

For the trap, there are lots of ideas online. Just google “leprechaun traps in kindergarten” and you will see lots of suggestions. You really do not need to buy anything. Cereal boxes work great for the base. You can decorate with crayons, markers, construction paper, wrapping paper, paint, etc. If you do want to buy gold coins or other St. Patrick’s Day things, Dollar Tree is a great place to go!

For the Timeline Project, I recommend using one poster board (Dollar Tree for the win again! They are less than a dollar). You can either stagger the pictures above and below the line (see the yellow example on the note above) or you can cut in half and then tape it together to form a longer board (see the white example). Please do NOT use more than 5 pictures.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

We had our first Mystery Reader yesterday! Thank you to Mrs. Snodgrass, Hannah’s mom, for coming in and reading a book about one of your favorite families, the Berenstain Bears. Thank you Hannah for sharing your mom with us.

If you have an older child that attends Snow that would like to read to our class, please let me know. I can talk to their teacher and set that up at a time that is good for both classes. The more the merrier!

Good afternoon,

Just a friendly reminder that Kona will be coming Thursday from 12:30 -3:30 to kick off March is reading month. It was moved from Friday due to the start of Ramadan.

We have a couple parent volunteers coming to assist kids with purchasing. It will be an outdoor truck unless weather is too bad then they will send the mini truck to go inside the lobby.

If you send in money, please place it in your child’s folder, labeled with KONA ICE so I know that it is for Kona and not snack sale.

If you would like to purchase a Kona Ice online, you can use this link. Please remember to enter your child’s name as the recipient!

I will be out of the building on Thursday February 13th and Friday February 14th. Because of this, we will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Wednesday, February 12th.

If you would like to send in valentine’s for the class, we have 19 students. The best way to do them in Kinder is to have your child write their name on the “from” line and leave the “to” line blank. Please have your child sign their name! It’s a GREAT handwriting activity!

If you would like to send in goodie bags and/or candy, please be sure it is peanut free.

We will be making bags to collect our goodies so you do not need to make a valentine’s day mailbox.

If you would like to donate any of the items needed for the party, please use the link below.
