Kickin' It Kindergarten: Super Bowl Party!

Well, today we finished up our friend Hot Rod. We have now officially met ALL of the Superkids! We will begin a new unit on Tuesday, but from here until the end of the year, we will have no new faces. All of our stories will be about the adventures of the Superkids together!

Just a few reminders today:

Carnival T-Shirts and Donations: An order form is coming home today allowing you to order a t-shirt for your child for our Spring Carnival. The theme this year is "It's a Jungle in Here." The t-shirts are orange with a super cute design that you can see on the order form. The due date is Friday, February 7th. Also, don't forget about the donations sheet that went home last week. We have 2 themed baskets you can donate items for: FAMILY FUN and READY TO READ. If you are able to donate anything for these baskets, send them in with your child.

Valentine's Day: We will be having a Valentine's Day party on Friday, February 14, from 1-2pm in our classroom. I am looking for a parent who would be willing to coordinate and plan the party. If you are interested, please email me and I can help you get things started. Also, if you are able to be a volunteer the day of the party, please email me that as well so I know how many helpers we will have. On Monday, I will be sending home a paper that will have directions for exchanging Valentine's Day cards. The paper will also list the names of the students in our class so YOUR CHILD can write out the cards!

High Ability Testing: A letter came home recently explaining the High Ability identification process. On Monday, all of our students will be taking part one of this test in our classroom.

Jump Rope for Heart: These papers all came home on Monday. If you are planning to raise money for this cause, the money will be due on Wednesday, February 12. The kids will then be jump roping during their specials time on Friday, February 14.

Sight Words: Please be sure you are continually working on sight words with your child. Don't forget that the entire list of sight words is listed on the blog under the Kindergarten Sight Words link at the top of the page. We are currently working our way through the Quarter 3 words. This means that your child should have memorized or be close to memorizing the words listed under Quarters 1 and 2.

Classroom Calendar: I have updated the Classroom Calendar with our events for February. We are still doing well on snacks, so for now there is no snack calendar.

Super Bowl Party: Even though our class did not win the Colts Homework challenge, Mrs. Dunn's class were such good sports and invited us to join them for their party! How cool! We had such a great time today. There were 6 stations that we got to do: Craft, math, language, puzzles, game, and snack. Check out the fun pictures below!
