Keep counting money too!  Dimes, nickels, and pennies…count, count, count.

Looking ahead…

Next week (Feb. 22-26) our reading unit theme will be SEASONS.  Students will have a home work assignment of making a diorama of their favorite season.  Shoe boxes work great for the dioramas.  I will talk with the students this week and the dioramas will be due Thurs., Feb. 25.  More details this week.

Also, Fri., Feb 26 will be the 100th day of Kindergarten.  We thought the kids might enjoy dressing up as a 100 year old person.   Please don’t go out and buy anything special for this. Just wanted to let you start thinking about this.

REMINDERS:

  • Homework is due Tuesday. No homework will be sent home this week. Diorama home project information will be coming home this Thursday.
  • Spelling Test is this Friday (even though we have a short week, the children are doing great).
