Valentine’s Day
Looking ahead to February, I want to let you know
some important things about Valentine’s Day.
th
Friday, February 12 will be our Kindergarten
Valentine’s Day Card Exchange. SCE does not
have a big party for Valentine’s Day like we do for
the Harvest and Winter Parties. The kids and I will
decorate Valentine’s boxes, exchange cards, and
have a snack/drink.
Here is what you need to know:
1) Please send your child to school with a
shoebox wrapped in plain paper. We will be
decorating these boxes here at school as part of
th
our activities on the 12 . The box should either be
able to open at the top or have a hole cut into it so
the kids can put cards inside.
2) If your child is bringing Valentines to pass out,
he or she needs to have one for everyone in the
class. There are 24 children in the AM class.
There are 23 children in the PM class. There is no
need to write individual student’s names on the
cards; your child can just sign his or her name so
friends will know whom it is from. This year, we
are requesting that no cards come in with any
edible treat.
If you would like to send in supplies (i.e. stickers,
doilies, etc) that the students can use to decorate
their boxes that would be much appreciated! Feel
free to send the supplies in anytime during the
next two weeks. I will save everything that is
donated and all of the children can share the
donated supplies to decorate their boxes on the
th
12 . Thank you!

100 th Day of School!
The 100th day of a school is a big deal
in kindergarten! We will be writing
about what we could buy with $100,
doing 100 exercises, playing a new
math game with the number 100, and
more. The 100th day of school is
Friday, February 5 th .
Each child needs to bring in 100
small objects from home on
February 5 th . Be as creative as you
want and have your child help to count
the items as he or she prepares to
bring them to school. We have been
working hard on counting to 100 by 10s
and by 5s, so putting the items in
groups to count would be a great
strategy. I encourage you to do this
with your child, not for your child. J
Not sure what to bring? Suggestions
include: buttons, pasta, rice, coins,
popsicle sticks, safety pins, rubber
bands, cheerios, rocks, etc. Please
write your child’s name on his or her
bag. Thank you for your help! We are
100 days smarter, and that is a lot to
celebrate! J
