Our numbers are growing each day as the children are bringing their pillow pets and dolls on a daily basis.  We understand their attachment to these "special friends".  As we prepare for first grade we ask that our "special friends" stay at home following "Spring Break".  Thank you for your cooperation and support.  We appreciate each of you and love your children.

Dear Parents,

We had a really cool week (in more ways than one)!  We have been busy making valentines and thinking about how we can show love to each other.  Our party time  on Monday has been  changed to 11:15 due to art and computer.  Hope to see you then.

Parents,

I guess most of your children told you that I went home not feeling well on Friday.  I went straight to the doctor and she said that I didn’t have the flu..but whatever I have wiped me out!  I stayed home again today (Monday) but am feeling much better.  I want to be 100% for the children!

Please refer to the letter you received concerning kindergarten testing for Wednesday and Thursday.  Remember to send your valentine box covered with paper.  The children will decorate these later in the week.  Here’s to another week!

Kindergarten Testing (new students)

Parents,

The Kindergarten teachers along with other staff members will be involved with testing students for the upcoming 2011-2012 school year.  The testing dates are Wednesday, Feb. 2^nd and Thurs. Feb. 3^rd from 9:00-3:00.  In order for us to conduct the testing uninterrupted, we will have our wonderful substitute teachers take the children at 9:00 to the art room, computer room, and music room.  A very detailed schedule for academic, art and computer times as well as P.E. and Library times has been complied. We will have 12:00 carpool and lunchbunch as usual, but please note the following changes for these two days.

**12:00 carpool will take place in front of the new gym lobby .Please turn into the circle at the 2^nd entrance and exit by the playground. 

**Lunchbunchers will eat their lunch in the new gym lobby..send lunches as usual.

***3:00 carpool will take place as usual in the front of the school.  The children will be brought back to the Kindergarten building at that time for carpool.

Also, we would like for you to send a shoebox to school by Monday for the children to decorate for their valentine party.  Please cover the box with paper and cut a large/wide lid in the top.  Make sure your child’s name is on the box. They can finish decorating it here at school.  We understand this is a lot of information so please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.  We know that the children will really enjoy the two days full of many fun activities.

 Thank you,

Kindergarten Teachers
