Newsletter - Feb. 3rd

Star Class News
Week of February 3rd


Sorry to send this out so late tonight! The Superbowl game had me a little distracted. Way to go Seahawks!!!

Good Night Moon Field Trip
Our field trip is next week! We have some families that are interested in carpools. This may be a good idea, since there is not a lot of parking near the theater. Please let us know if you would be interested in carpooling and we can see if we can arrange something.

Portfolios
Clare's family has graciously donated new binders for us so that we can fit more of the children's work in their portfolios. They have also offered to help us transfer the work we have already added on Wednesday during class time. If anyone can help out, please feel free to stay. We will set up a work area in the kindergarten class. Thank you Mitchell family!

Registration for Next year
Registration for 2014-2015 is this Wednesday for In-House Registration beginning at 9:15 in JLH and Open Registration will be held on Feb 7th.

Valentines Day Celebrations
For our Valentines Day celebrations, we will be having a Pajama Party to celebrate Good Night Moon on Thursday and Friday after our field trip play! We will not behaving an official party, but we will be creating Good Night crafts, snuggling in for a small video, and handing out valentine cards. We have found at this age it is easiest to leave off the names of the other kids, but those that are ready can practice writing their own names over and over! We have 10 kids that come on Thursday, 11 kids that come on Friday or 16 kids total in the Star Class. You can decide how many valentines you want your child to bring in.

This week
This week we will talking about the author of Pete the Cat, Eric Litwin. We have enjoyed talking care of Pete the Cat in our class (several of our friends have dressed him up and made sure to take him to the doctor). Now we get to create projects around him, talk about our favorite shoe colors, count his buttons, and help him share his magic sunglasses while we create our own!

Word Wall
This week we will bring back the word wall with the letter Kk for Kangaroo and Kiss. Please have your child bring something that starts with the letter to put in our pelican.
