Last week, our Kindergarten and Pre-K students were treated to a visit from "Momma Jen," who is passionate about educating students and families about proper hand-washing techniques to prevent the spread of germs! She was a lot of fun! She has shared this one minute video to hopefully help us cut down on some of the absences due to illness. We have been practicing her hand washing technique in class in an effort to keep us all healthy during this flu season.

We has so much fun with our Valentine’s Day activities in class today!! Students paired up to interview each other and write about the person they interviewed. Each student made a personalized card for another student in class and they were so excited to tell their friends what makes them special. Each student worked well with their partner to share and take turns when talking and they enjoyed learning more about each other. It’s that time of year again! This year the theme of our Mardi Gras Parade is Early Literary Authors. Each Krewe is based off of a popular children’s book author. The authors we have chosen to be represented are: Robert Munsch, Ezra Jack Keats, David Shannon, Leo Lionni, Kevin Henkes, Eric Carle, and Dr. Suess. Children can choose any book written by their author of choice as the design for their float and costume. When signing up your child for a Krewe, please list the title of the book your child will represent next to their name. Our big buddies in 5thgrade will pull the floats your children decorate and bring in. Wagons make the parade easier, as walking the route can be difficult while carrying the bags of beads they will be throwing. No tricycles or bikes are allowed. There are a limited number of spots under each author in order for us to represent each author well in the parade. When the slots under an author are full, that krewe will be closed for further registration. Here is the link for the SignUp Genius to sign up for your krewe! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090944ada723a6f49-kindergarten2 All floats and costumes must be labeled with your child’s and teacher’s names. Floats may be dropped off the morning of the parade. Please send all costumes to school the day before the parade (Feb 28). Parents may begin arriving on parade day, March 1st, at 1:00 pm to help the children get dressed and ready to roll. If you are not able to help your child get ready, please email your child's teacher so we can make prior arrangements for your child. All floats must be ready to roll at 1:40 pm. We will have the Glasgow Middle School band coming to play for our parade! Thank you to Mr. McCoy for making this happen! We look forward to seeing all your creativity!! 100th Day of School T-Shirt ProjectJanuary 29th will be the 100th day of school. We have lots of exciting activities planned to celebrate the 100th day of school! Also, we would love for you to work with your child to design a t-shirt to wear with 100 things (or the number 100) on it for the 100th day of school. Please do not use food, as it tends to fall off and get sticky or messy throughout the day. You can re-purpose a t-shirt that you already have or buy a new one (you can find a shirt for less than $5 at Hobby Lobby or Wal-Mart). You can check out Pinterest or Google for ideas! Please be creative, but there's no need to break the bank or stress out about it. We can't wait to see all of the t-shirt designs on the 100th day of school! We will take the t-shirt design as a participation grade in Math. Please let us know if you have any questions! Here are a few examples:Thank you to all of you that joined us for the Thanksgiving Luncheon today! |
