In Our Class This Week...

Good afternoon, 
I hope you all had a great and restful break. I am excited to get back in the classroom and create some more memories with my kiddos. Especially since we are getting closer to the 100th day of school (Feb. 12th) and our last day of Kinder (June 19th).

Many parents have asked if our class is in need of any items. Here are some items our class can use as our supplies begin to run low:
Kleenix
Baby Wipes

Be sure to check out the new school calendar

Be sure to check out our Shutterfly page for our latest classroom pictures. If you would like access, please email me for a special invite.

Don't forget to use SMARTYPANTS at home. This new, fun reading program can be accessed at home. All students received their log in information last month. If you have any question, let me know.

School News:
January Family Project Due 1/29
To kick off this new year, this month's family project will be a little different. Going home tomorrow will be a black and white "Sammy the Snowball". Students are to first color it, to make it their own, then take him on some adventures. 
At the end of the month, students will present to the class some of the activities they did with Sammy. A poster board with pictures would be a great visual.

Official January project with explanation will be going home tomorrow. If you need further clarification, please let me know!
