February 7-11
February 11, 2005
Dear Families,
Rr week has been a really busy week! The kindergartners learned to read the words are and to. Flashcards have been attached to the newsletter. Please practice these often! They read and brought home 3 little booklets. This week we stressed that in order to read words, your eyes have to actually see the words. (Many during class aren’t always paying attention to where we are, they are looking around the room!) The students heard the story The Runaway Bunny and made their own little bunnies that told where they would go if they could run away. We learned about rainbows. Our centers included learning about rabbits, building words, Abraham Lincoln puppets, red booklets, rectangular robots, number bingo, and books and magazines.
Next week we will be studying the letter Vv. Sharing items should begin with Vv or be a valentine item. Remember there is no school on Friday, February 18th or Monday, February 21st. School is dismissed early on Tuesday, February 15th. School is dismissed at 12:20. There will be no school for students on Friday, February 25th. The North Tama teachers have an inservice day. Please mark your calendars!
The North Tama Elementary students raised a lot of money for the tsunami survivors! The total raised was $1258.47! Thank you for your donations. The students enjoyed watching the penny container as it filled. They also liked taking their silver money to other classrooms and sabotagings their containers!
We would like to turn the dramatic play center into a vet clinic. Families may send items suitable for a vet clinic to school. Ideas are stuffed animals, stethoscopes, cloth bandages, plastic syringes without the needles, pet supplies, etc. Please write your child’s name or initials on everything!
Conferences are scheduled for next week. If you find that your conference time does not work, please call us at school so that we can reschedule!
Please remember to have your child return the Redhawks Reading slips. If you forget to send it on the assigned day, please send it with your child as soon as possible. We are keeping track of how many many girls and boys reach their reading goal each week and turn in the slips. Remember, boys and girls that do not read at home, fill out the slips, and turn them in DO NOT go to the dinosaur field trip in March. These children stay at school with Mr. Foster.
Please include extra socks in your child’s backpack. After the big recess some children are coming in with wet socks or step in water while taking their boots off. We used to have a nice supply of extra socks, but now we don’t because our extras are not being returned. It is always a good idea to have extra clothes in the backpack!
Have a really nice weekend! Keep reading!
