February Is Here!
Yesterday, the ground hog predicted six more weeks of winter! Kindergarteners are excited and hopeful some winter precipitation will make it to Columbia, SC. The children enjoyed learning all about the non-fiction facts about the hibernating groundhog and the fiction stories that have been created around Groundhog's Day.In Writer's Workshop we are using our gained knowledge of the animals that live in the polar regions to create non-fiction books. This is always a favorite genre!
Valentine's Day!
We will celebrate Valentine's Day next Wednesday, February 11th.In preparing for this special occasion, you will find enclosed in this week's Tuesday envelope a list of the children in your child's class. This will help your child in addressing valentine cards to his/her classmates. To avoid hurt feelings, we ask that you limit valentine cards to your child's homeroom class only. All kindergarteners are expected to sign their own name and write their classmate's name on each valentine card. Please be aware that this project can be a challenge for five and six year olds. You may find that it works well to start several days ahead and doo a few each day rather than tackle it all in one sitting.
Please send in completed Valentines next Wednesday, February 11th.
Have fun helping your child get ready for this exciting day!

Marvelous Math
Kindergarteners are learning about equal parts and parts of a whole. This means having the same portion, piece, or segment of a whole.
You can help reinforce this skill at home when slicing an apple into equal portions, or serving pizza for dinner. Let your kindergartener help to make equal parts. It is always fun to eat and learn.
