**Does anyone want to donate some rolls of paper towels to the class?? Extra smiles for those who do!!! We really need some... Thanks so much!**
Things to Remember:
-Our field trip to the GA Aquarium is Thursday, February 17th. Forms will go home this week and should be returned ASAP!!! The absolute LAST day to turn in forms and money is February 11th. After this date, your child may not be able to go on the trip with us.
-Valentine's Day is coming up! We will be having some special "PAL-entine" activities that day with emphasis on friendship. We will be decorating collection bags in class, and if you would like to send in Valentine cards to share with the class, please send enough for all 17 students! (A list will be sent home with names of classmates)
-Use your sight word list to be practicing previously learned words, or going further with additional words if your child is ready. Let me know if you need more lists!
-Keep working on your "Going on Bear Hunt" Unit Take Home projects! Remember that these are due for all of kindergarten sometime this week.
-February/March Volunteers: Please visit the Writeboard if you can sign up to volunteer for any of our days in February or March!
