This week in kindergarten

After a short week of review, we return to our regular routine.  For the next two weeks we will be focusing on the letter Oo, and three new sight words, they, you and of.  We will introduce our "challenge writing paper", and begin focusing on adding details to our writing.  In math we will be working more on two-digit numbers and the concept of odd and even.

The kindergarten teachers been working behind the scenes to put together a musical performance.  This will be the first kindergarten program in many years.  This is tentatively scheduled for February 11th.  There will be an evening performance for parents,  tentatively scheduled for 6:00 p.m., and a afternoon performance for the student body, probably at 1:15.

I have posted the new volunteer calendar for the rest of the year.  Sign up early and often.  As always, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are our  days of highest need.

Library day is Thursday.  We have a number of kids who are missing books.  It would be great to have everyone check out a new book this week.

Please note that there is no school for the following two Mondays.  Next week we celebrate Martin Luther King day, and the following week is a teacher planning day.
