Tomorrow is “favorite person” day. The kids can come to school dressed as their favorite person. Please keep it to real people, not characters from books or movies (so no Transformers, Cinderellas, etc. please). It can be a person they know OR a famous person. Have fun!

Your child is bringing home a bag full of Valentine’s from their friends. Among them is a gift certificate for a free Friendly’s ice cream cone from Mrs. D. so before the bag ends up in the recycling bin, please be sure to pull that one out!

I just got this message and thought I would share: Lexia Reading will be unavailable Saturday, February 12, 2011 from 10 pm until Sunday, February 13th 2011 at 6 am Eastern for important updates. Not that I expect that your kids will be on it between midnight and 6AM but just in case they don’t finish when they say they will…you will know why!
Today is the last day to place an order from the February Scholastic catalogs. I will be sending the order off tonight.
Here is the latest Math newsletter. Speaking of Math, be on the lookout in the next few weeks for a post on accessing our Math software “Shapes” from home.

Wednesday, February 17 is the 100th day of school! In Kindergarten this is a big deal! We will have a 100th day celebration. We will read books and try to find collections of 100 items in our classroom.
The children have 100th day homework due on Thursday, the 17th. They will need to bring in a collection of 100 of something. The trick is it has to be something that they can carry themselves back and forth to school! Ideas of collections children have brought in the past are pompoms, pennies, even Lego’s. The children need to be able to show how their set equals 100. An easy way to do this is to group them by tens or fives. Objects can be glued down on poster board, wrapped in rubber bands, or in bags, etc. Any way that is easy for them to carry and to explain why they choose what they did and how they know it equals 100. Be creative and have fun with them, it is quite a big deal to them to have been in Kindergarten for 100 whole days! Thanks for your help!
P.S. Due to a handful of food allergies, please do not send in any food items as part of their 100 collections!
