This week in kindergarten

It was wonderful to be here for five days in a row last week.  I am really hoping that the weather holds off and that we get to be here for all four days this week (plus our evening Pajama-Rama Thursday night)!

Please be aware that there is no school on Friday, February 3.  I will be here that day working on report cards.  These should come home on Friday February 10.

More than anything right now, we are working on  re-establishing our rhythm.  We have been working on centers, doing reading groups, writing and trying to squeeze in math.  I am also working hard to finish assessing everyone for their report  cards.

Valentine's day is coming up.  We will be having a small celebration in the afternoon -- we would love a few contributions -- hopefully mostly healthy food!  We would love to have your child bring in Valentine cards (but no candy) for the class.  I hope to send out a Valentine's list within the next week.

My understanding is that we are moving towards the last month of pile driving, and that they plan to drive fewer piles per day from here on out.  Hopefully we will be able to squeeze in some outside recesses over the next few weeks.
