Reminder: Hibernation Day Friday 1/29!



    On Friday 1/29, we will have Hibernation Day!  Students may wear pajamas and bring a stuffed friend to school!

Reminder: Peanut / Tree Nut Free Classroom


     Just a reminder that our classroom is a peanut / tree nut free classroom.  Any food for snack in the classroom must be peanut / tree nut free.  Please check the ingredients on your child's snack.  With little hands going everywhere we need help keeping our room safe!  PPJ or anything meant for lunch should be kept sealed in a separate container or bag so that your child does not touch it during Snack Time.  Students wash their hands and we wash tables any time we eat as a precaution.
    PPJ sandwiches are ok for lunch only as students with home lunch sit at one table and students with school lunch and food allergies sit at our other table.  We have students with PPJ wash their hands after they eat their lunch.
   
Thank you again for helping us keep our classroom safe!

Looking for Old iPhones

      In our classroom, I have been having students use my old iPhone as a Center for Literacy Activities.  I would like to expand this Center, but would need more iPhones to do it.  If you have an old iPhone (preferably iPhone 4 or newer), I would welcome the donation!  I can put old iPads, old mobile phones, or tablets to use too :).

Fundations Help for Parents

        We have been learning how to tap out CVC words to help us read!  When your child has a CVC word, they tap it out and swoop across to put the sounds together to make the word.  I've found some YouTube movies that model how to tap.  One of the movies models how to tap.  It will include vowel patterns that we don't do in Kindergarten.  There's also information about letter writing and letter ID also.
