February 6, 2009

Dear Families,

We have done a lot during Vv week! On Tuesday we visited the vet clinic and journaled what we liked best about the visit. We did some valentine activities. We did a lot of reading and worked on recognizing numbers up to 20. Centers included beans in the sensory table, word bingo, a February calendar, letter tiles, marble magic, Marble Magic, and the vet clinic in the dramatic play center.

This week we got a new student. Her name is Lanika Eilander, and she is in the red team. PLEASE ADD HER TO THE VALENTINE LIST SENT HOME EARLIER!

Next week is JJ week. Sharing should be an item that starts with the letter Jj.

Remember there is no school on Friday, February 27th. School is dismissed early on Tuesday, February 24th. School is dismissed at 12:20 on that day. Please mark your calendars!

Conferences are scheduled for the last week of February. Conference times will be mailed to each family. If you find that your conference time does not work, please call us at school so that we can reschedule!

Please include extra clothes in your child’s backpack. Our supply of extra clothes is dwindling because many families are not sending the extra clothes back! Please check for these extra pants, shirts, sweatshirts, socks, and undies.

Our class has experienced MANY, MANY cases of strep throat. There have been days when 5 - 6 children have been home with diagnosed cases. Please pay attention to your child’s health. If your child comes to school and the nurse suspects strep throat, you will be called to pick up your child.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Herink, Ms. Howard, Mrs. Pokorny, Mr. Degner, and Mrs. Rohlfsen
