Reminders:
1. We will have our Valentine Parties on Monday, 2-14-11. If you would like your son/daughter to bring Valentines for the rest of the class, please sign his/her name in the "from" portion only. We will deliver the cards in a train fashion, placing one card in each students' bag. There are 23 morning students and 22 afternoon students.
2. There is no school on Friday, 2-18, or Monday, 2-21. Happy Presidents' Day!
The students are quickly mastering the teen numbers. I am proud of how hard they are working! Each day we are counting to 65. Soon we will be counting to 100 each day. Many students have already mastered this skill. Way to go kindergarteners!
The boys and girls are becoming expert sentence writers! Each day we practice creating sentences. I am impressed with how well they are mastering what it takes to make a good sentence--they must make sense, use space between words, sound out words they don't know, begin each sentence with a capital letter, and end each sentence with a period.
Enjoy your weekend--the weather is supposed to be lovely!

It's February
Hi all! Happy February! It was great to get to talk to many of you at conferences on Wednesday and I am looking forward to seeing more of you next week. Reminder: there is a PTO meeting on Tuesday.
We are really emphasizing smooth blending words and identifying the last sounds in words. The students are improving at these skills, but additional practice at home would be helpful as well. Also, be sure to practice your Read Well books as often as possible. This will help your child improve their fluency to earn strong passes on their unit tests.
In math, we are focusing on teen numbers and counting by ones to 100. Soon we will dive into addition! I can't wait. The students' math skills are so strong, I know that they will enjoy addition.
Thanks to all of you who sent in donations for the Valentine's Day party. The students are going to have incredible treat bags to take home!
