Well, after a looong break, we're back and into the swing of the things.
And there's a lot going on....
We are reading nonfiction books this week about the external features of animals. We are writing about them, too. In math we are using colored squares and arranging them in different ways to show quantities. In health, we are learning about the food groups and making healthy choices.
February 12 is our Valentine's Day Party right after recess at 2:50. In your child's folder today is a class list. If they are bringing in cards, please make sure they have for everyone. If your child will not be participating, please let me know.
Our next field trip is March 4 to the Museum of Natural History. We need lots of chaperones for this trip. Most parents in years past have met us downtown. They left work for a couple of hours and went straight back after our visit. We can only take 2 chaperones on the bus. If you are able to help, please let me know as soon as possible so that I know we have enough coverage. Please checkout the kindergarten team blog at www.singerkindergarten.blogspot.com for a link for online field trip payments. If you prefer this, please make a note on the permission slip when it is returned so I know the payment was made online.
Unfortunately, over the unanticipated break, our mealworms/pupae/beetles didn't fare so well. We lost a lot of them, but we still have a good amount to keep track of. Your child may tell you that theirs died. They each had their own mealworm in a cup and then once they start changing they all go into a "group home". Some of them didn't survive the long break without fresh food. We talked about it and I think most understand what happened.
One last note...Our dojo point tracker has changed. We are now earning 50 points before getting a prize. Our goal is to get to 100 by the end of the year, because that is where they will start 1st grade.
Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the snow. I'm ready for spring, though.
Have a great week.
