Valentine's Day
On Monday, Feburary 14th we will be celebrating Valentine's Day in our classroom! As part of our celebration the children are welcome to bring in valentines to give out. A notice with details will be sent home tomorrow, but please find a few important pieces of information below.
- We have 17 students in our class
- In Kindergarten it is recommended that your child just sign THEIR name to the cards and not individually address each one (This makes the distribution process MUCH easier!)
- No food or candy is allowed
- Please make sure your child has a valentine for each student in our class. We don't want any broken hearts!
Snow Gear
A friendly reminder that students who bring snow gear (snowpants, boots, gloves/mittens, etc.) to school WILL be allowed to go in the snow. Please help your child practice putting on their snow gear independently. Thank you!
Library Tomorrow!
A friendly reminder that our class visits the library/media center on Mondays. Please have your child return their book so that they are able to select a new one. Please also return your child's clean quiet time towel as well. Thanks so much for all of your help! :)

Fundations
Last week in Fundations we completed Unit 2 which focused on writing our uppercase letters. A friendly reminder that the parent information packets that gets sent home each week have great practice pages inside! If you are looking for additional materials to have your child practice their handwriting skills at home please don't hesitate to reach out!
Reader's Workshop
It was a SUPER exciting time in Reader's Workshop last week as we celebrated our reading superpowers! On Friday, Super Reader Man sent us a special mystery package and note inducting us into the Super League of Readers!
What could be in the box???
Congratulations Super Readers!
Math
In math we practiced counting to 100 by tens! We complete many fun hand-on activities to help us practice this skill, and enjoyed listening to this very catchy Jack Hartmann song!
Science
The chilly winter weather was perfect as we continued to learn about polar animals! Our focus during last week's lessons was the polar bear, and we had a fantastic time learning many new polar bear facts! Like, did you know polar bears have two layers of fur? Our learning culiminated in a VERY hands on science experiment which had the children use vegetable shortening to demonstrate how blubber keeps polar animals warm!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
