Greetings from the Kindergarten!

We have had an exciting week in the Kindergarten, celebrating Valentine's Day, writing stories and poems, and continuing our exploration of snow. In math we have been working with the "Tricky Teens," sorting coins, turning number stories into number sentences, and skip counting by 2s and 5s. The week before vacation is always a busy one as we all get ready for a wonderful break with family and/or friends.

When we return the March Reading Challenge will be upon us. Look for materials that will be going home that explain the Challenge. It's lots of fun to participate, and I encourage you all to do so with your children.

In our family study students will soon begin working on their family houses, which will include details about their immediate families, pets, favorite foods and things they like to do. These will be colorful and informative expressions of themselves and will help them to understand that we all come from a diverse and interesting family history. We will also be producing a book about our family artifacts.

If I do not speak with you, I wish you all a wonderful break. I look forward to coming back and working with your children in March.

As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns.
