Valentine’s Day and Party
This is the note I sent home about Valentine's Day with a few reminders, just in case you missed it! Our Valentine’s Day party is on Wednesday, February 14 at 1:15-2:00. Please help your child make a Valentine’s Day box for his or her cards. This can be as simple as a shoebox, or more elaborate if you would like. Please DO NOT label cards with names. It is much easier and quicker at this age if they can pass out a card to each student without finding that child’s box/name, etc… They can simply write who it is from and pass one out to each friend. The kids will exchange Valentines before the party begins. Please send the boxes and cards in no earlier than Monday, February 12th. You may want to put the cards in a Ziplock bag to send to school. Thank you so much! Our room mom has created the sign-up for us to help get what we need for our Valentine’s party. She also wanted me to mention that if you are able to help, we could use the extra hands at the party! Here is the link to sign-up: http://signup.com/go/pEFpzVo Change-A-Life Coin Drive Willard East annual coin drive competition starts Feb. 5th! This competition runs district wide between the buildings. The building that raises the most money wins the trophy! This year, we are also competing by grade level! The winning grade level will win a popcorn party AND those teachers will compete in a Minute-To-Win It competition. The class teacher that wins gets a pizza party for their whole class! So search your couch, look under your floor mats, empty out your laundry pockets and bring in that change starting Monday, Feb.5th! Pennies and Bills are all POSITIVE. Silver coins are NEGATIVE, so donate them to your competing grade levels! February 6 and 7 I will be out both Tuesday and Wednesday next week for a Leader In Me conference. Please be patient as we will have two different subs those days and things may not work as they normally do.

Our 100th day of school has moved from the 29th to the 31st due to our two snow days last week. I sent a note home today explaining more details about that day. I am still in need of 2 bags of packaged pre-popped popcorn if anyone can donate those. Thanks for helping me out with the 100 piece snack! P.J./Movie Day We have been working hard to fill our class sticker chart. To earn one sticker, the whole class had to have green behavior at the end of the day. I am so proud of how they have synergized and encouraged one another to reach this goal! To celebrate, the class voted to have a P.J./Movie Day. This means that on Friday, February 2, they can wear their favorite pajamas to school. We will be eating popcorn and watching a movie. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks for your help in this celebration of our awesome class behavior!

In case you missed the letter I sent home, here is a reminder about the PJ Drive we are participating in with Mrs. Moore’s 4th Grade Class. Dear Kindergarten Parents, My 4th grade class partners with your child’s Kindergarten class for reading buddies. We have been helping them learn the 7 habits and then read them a story when we come to their class every Friday afternoon. To put the 7 habits into action my class is wanting to partner with your child’s class and join the annual Scholastic Book Clubs Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive What is it? This program is a national nonprofit organization that provides new pajamas and storybooks to at-risk children. Pajama Program supports children living in shelters, group homes, and foster care, and those who attend Title I schools, Head Start programs, and other organizations that support at-risk youth. With warm pajamas and a comforting bedtime story, children feel safe and secure as they drift off to sleep, allowing them to have the good night that will lead to good days. Every pajama that is donated, Scholastic Books will match it with a storybook for that child. How can my child help? If you and your child are able to participate, please help us transform bedtime for an at-risk child by bringing in a new pair of pajamas to school by December 13, 2017. Guidelines:
You can find out more about the drive and Pajama Program at: scholastic.com/pjdrive If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or here at the school (ext.1342). Thank you for helping our classes share the gift of a good night’s sleep and a sweet bedtime story. After all, good nights are good days.

Snack Next Week Monday- Maleah Tuesday- Case Wednesday- Max Thursday- Miles Friday- Adrina Upcoming Events November 10- Veterans Day Breakfast/ Assembly November 22-24 - Thanksgiving Break December 1-Tiger Pride Tiger Pride
Reminder that tomorrow is our October Tiger Pride assembly at 2:30 in the gym! Families are welcome to attend. There are chairs set up for parents in the gym, and students will sit with the class. I will give out two academic awards each month. If your child earns an Academic Award, they will go on stage. I will send an email home for this prior to the assembly. Our assemblies usually last until 3:15. If you choose to come, you are welcome to take your child with you after the assembly. Taking them after the assembly does not count against attendance. If you are taking your child home from the assembly, students will walk back to the library with Mrs. Hillenburg (they are in library when the assembly begins) and you can let Mrs. Hillenburg know you are taking them home. The class takes their backpacks with them to library on assembly days, so you will not need to walk down to our classroom for their things. Please email me or send a note to let me know you are taking your child with you so that I know where they are as well. Let me know if you have questions! Parent-Teacher Conferences Next week are Parent-Teacher Conferences! I look forward to meeting with each one of you. I only have a short amount of time to meet with you, so bring any questions you may have so I can make sure to answer them during our time! Math Assessments After each math topic assessment is graded, I put the grades into Mastery Connect. I will then send the topic assessments home for you to look over to see what specific questions your child may have missed. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this! Fall Break Fall Break will begin next Friday, November 3rd and continue through Tuesday, November 7th. There will be no school on these days. School will resume on Wednesday, November 8th. Enjoy your time off with your family!
