February 6 - 10
Notes and Reminders
Our Valentine's Day celebration will be Tuesday, February 14. Our room mother will be contacting you if you signed up to send treats, etc. This will be a small celebration (students only). The children will exchange Valentines at some point during the day. Please send your child's Valentines to school by Monday morning. There are 21 children in our class.
*******Please decorate a Valentine's Day box with your child. It can be an old shoebox, kleenex box, etc. with tinfoil or paper of some kind and then add any little "special touches" you can think of (heart doilies, hearts, stickers, cupids etc). Please be sure to cut out a slot in the top of the box so the Valentines can be dropped in easily.
-Please be sure to write your child's name on sweaters, jackets, etc. Only solid white or navy may be worn in the classroom.
- This week, the Kindergarten classes will begin going to Mass every Thursday. Please be sure your child is at school by 7:45 on Mass day.
