February 18-22

Hello!

The 100th day of Kindergarten and Valentine's Day Party have come and gone, but the fun and excitement in Kindergarten isn't slowing down!  On Wednesday, we have a dentist coming in to do a presentation and some fun activities with our Kindergarteners, on Thursday we have Adventures in Art and on Friday, it's our Read-A-Thon!  WOW!  Remember, there is no school on Monday or Tuesday due to President's Day and a teacher workshop.  We will not be starting a new reading lesson, due to the short week, so there will be no new homework either.  We will be covering one or two math lessons.
