Valentine’s Day
Looking ahead to February, I want to let you
know some important things about Valentine’s
Day. Friday, February 12th will be our
Kindergarten Valentine’s Day Card
Exchange. The kids and I will decorate
Valentine’s boxes, exchange cards, and have a
100th Day
If you haven’t already heard…we celebrated 100
Day on Friday. Who knew the number 100 would be
such a hit! We started the day with an activity that
involved coloring 100 objects inside of the number
100. That’s a lot of objects! We made predictions,
rolled a die 100 times and recorded our results using
snack/drink.
tally marks. We read a poem with 100 words and
1) Please send your child to school with a
the number 100, while stopping every 10 minutes to
shoebox ALREADY wrapped in plain paper.
We will be decorating these boxes here at
school as part of our activities on the 12th. 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, they need to have one for everyone in the
class – 23 children in AM and 23 children
in PM. 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. As you know, we have some
tricky food allergies in class, and we need to
ensure that each child is completely safe. For
that reason, please send only cards--no
candy or treats attached to them.
3. If you are interested in donating any supplies
to help us decorate our boxes (stickers, sticky
foam pieces, etc.) we would greatly appreciate
it.
highlighted and counted how many times we located
do groups of 10 exercises that by the end of the day
equaled 100. What a workout!
The PM class will finish these activities on Monday.
The Scottish Corners Jump Rope Team
performance cut our 100 day short.
We have spent the week working with addition by
composing and decomposing numbers 0-10. We
were introduced with 2 strategies (part/part/whole
and using a ten frame) to help create number
sentences. We will continue using these strategies
this week as I introduce new addition games for skill
building.
