Dear Families,

Last week, you probably heard that we had a flood in our classroom. As a result, we have a super clean floor and bathroom now. Yes, in room 114 we strive to see the glass half full.

It is hard to believe that we are now starting our third quarter in kindergarten. What does that mean? Yes, this kindergarten year is half over. Honestly, I wish I could have a class like this one every year!

Kudos to the amazing timelines! Not only did every student bring one back, but not one was done on foam board or completed in a circle!

Here is what you need to know:

Monday: Please return Nightly Literacy Homework, book bags, and your library book. We will have gym and art today.

Tuesday: We will go to the Media Center to check out library books and go to music with Mrs. Baloga today. We will start spelling words today. See below for more spelling information.

Wednesday: Today is our PBIS reward today. As a result, we will be making Valentines for Veterans!

Thursday: We will go to music with Mrs. Baloga today.

Friday: We will go to the computer lab with Mrs. Ackerman and gym with Mr. Murua.

Spelling:
Starting this week, your child will receive spelling words each Tuesday. Your child will be tested on these words the following Tuesday. These words will contain a word family with 4 “hot” words. This week’s “hot” words are: at/ cat/ mat/ sat Your child will also be tested on a “cold” word that will fit the pattern but will not be a word on their spelling list. This way we can see if your child can apply the pattern in a new way. In a few weeks, your child will also be given several individual words that are important for them to practice. Your child’s spelling notebook should always be kept in their book bag so they can practice at school and at home.

In the near Future:
* We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, February, 14 2017. More information will be shared soon.
* We will be celebrating the 100th day of school very soon. Note: We are planning for this to be on Wednesday, February 15th. Get ready because your child is invited to dress as 100 year old person. Here are a few ideas from last year

Thanks for your continued support!

Ms. Wright
