Newsletter - February 10th


Star Class News
Week of February 10th

We hope that everyone was able to get out and enjoy the snow and stay safe! Teacher Jo spent the weekend wrapped up in her blanket looking out while her kids spent many hours in the snow sledding. Luckily it looks like the snow is melting, so we can get back to school. Remember if there is a 2 hour late start for Vancouver School District, we will not be at school. Unless they have to shut down the theater for weather concerns, we will be meeting for our field trip Wednesday regardless of what Vancouver School District is doing.

Good Night Moon Field Trip
Our field trip is Wednesday this week! There will be no class on this day. We will meet at the theater around 9:15, the performance begins at 9:15. It might be a good idea to carpool with another family to help with the parking situation.

Valentines Party
We are going to have a Pajama Party to celebrate Valentines Day on Thursday and Friday.
or 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! Since I wont be able to have families sign up for goodies. Teacher Jo will be picking up a special treat for the kids, if you want to help donate just let us know. We will not be having 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.

Registration for Next year
Registration has begun for 2014-2015. If you haven't had a chance to register, stop by Maria's office to get a spot!

This week
This week we are going to be learning through Good Night Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. We will be sorting mittens, saying good night to our favorite things, and having a Pajama Party on Thursday and Friday.

Word Wall
Due to the play and unknown number of days....we will NOT be having word wall this week. If your child would like to bring in something to share that they say Good night too, they are welcome to bring it in and put it in the Pelican.
