We were blessed with another beautiful, sunny and cool set of outdoor days last week and it looks like our luck will hold for this week as well.
Please send a hand towel if your child doesn’t yet have one in their backpack. Drying hands after washing helps them stay warm and clean. We do not have paper towels at the shelter. Thanks!
We’ll be learning about snakes and Lunar New Year traditions for the Year of the Snake this week. We’re wondering about the garter snakes that live at the park and how long they will hibernate for!
The week ahead: Jan 27-31
- Monday and Tuesday – at the park
- Wednesday – at FLE. Send in skating field trip form, library and home reading books (Sorry…I have a big stack of mail bags in the classroom). Lunar New Year begins.
- Thursday – at FLE. Fun lunch.
- Friday – at FLE. No walk due to assembly. Crazy Hat Spirit Day!
*Looking ahead to Skating on Friday, Feb. 7 – I will need two parent volunteers to collect the helmet and skate rentals from the shop in a tote bin or wagon and bring them to the changing room to distribute, then return at the end of the skate. I will have a list of sizes needed. Please let me know if you wouldn’t mind doing this job. (I will pay for the rentals with the school credit card)
*Looking ahead to Valentine’s Day – If your child would like to give cards, please send them on Friday, Feb. 14. Please have them put their own name on each card but NOT any particular friend’s name. This way it is much easier and quicker for kids to deliver them. There are 20 students in our class. We’ll also be making a ‘Friendship Fruit Salad’ to share. Please send in one cup of chopped fruit that your child enjoys on Friday, Feb. 14.
