Our Weekly Newsletter 2/11

Hello

I am so sorry that I did not post the newsletter yesterday!  I think I have to blame pregnancy brain on this one, since it did not even cross my mind!
Last week was such a fun week in school!  We had a wonderful 100th day of school and the kids learned how to say Gung Hay Fat Choy in preparation for Chinese New Year.  Pretty cute!

Thank you to all who donated prizes for our prize box!  We are stocked up! 

This week we are focusing on the letter 'U'.  Please reinforce the sound the letter 'U' makes and point it out everywhere you can. This really helps solidify the information being taught at school.  

Homework

Here is the list of tasks to be completed this week.  Please space out the activities throughout the week.  The homework is meant to be done in small chunks throughout the week.  Remember to return the homework folder on Friday.

1. Choose 3-4 activities from the February calendar

2. Make a collage/draw pictures of things that begin with 'U' in the yellow book

3. Complete the 'U' page in the handwriting book

4. Read 10 minutes a night and fill out the reading log

Valentine's Day

We will be celebrating Valentine's Day by handing out valentines to each other and with a party.  Each child is encouraged to bring valentines for each member of the class, if they choose to bring valentines at all.  Please send your child's valentines to school when they are complete (if possible, before Valentine's Day), so they can pass them out to the different boxes, which have been completed. 

Our Valentine's Day party will be this Thursday, February 14th from 12:30-1:45.  There is a sign-up sheet on Shutterfly for volunteers and supplies/treats needed.  If all the spots are filled, please don't sign up to bring anything extra, as we will have plenty of treats!  Thank you for your generosity and help!
