On Wednesday, we will conclude our 100th Day Celebration with a a special snack and even more special activities. I have planned a fun-filled day. Please consider spending the morning with us. There will be plenty to do to keep us all busy!
We are all set for a lovely walk to Never Land at Franklin HS tomorrow. We will leave at 9:15 AM. The play ends right about 11:00 AM so we will be back at school as fast as our short legs can carry us. 🙂
Leave your backpacks at home. We will not have time for a snack, so be sure to eat a good breakfast.
Chaperones, please be in our room by 9:00 AM.
Dear Kindergarten Families,
I am so very sorry to announce that I am postponing our 100th Day Celebration. I have only received 10 of the 24 donations needed for our party. The donations were due by today so I could prepare our materials in advance. I cannot possibly do preparations during our party. If you do not remember what item was requested, please check your child’s backpack for the original note. If you don’t find it, I can look on my master list for you. If you are unable to provide that item, please let me know so I can find a suitable substitute. Our schedule is very full so we will try again with our party on Wednesday, March 11th. Classroom helpers will be most welcome.
OTHER IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Wednesday Feb 25th Permission slips and $5.oo donation are due. Half the class is ready to go. Please let me know if your child will NOT be going. I will have to cancel the trip if I do not receive completed permission slips from EVERY student. LATE ITEMS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Thursday Feb 26th is Picture Day
Thursday Feb 26th Homework and pages and folder are due
Friday Feb 27th Field Trip to Franklin High School for Peter Pan. We leave at 9:15 AM and return at 11:20 AM.
Thank you in advance for helping me make lemonade out of lemons.
Mrs. Petuya
Dear Families and Blog Visitors,
I know many of you would love to help out in class, but are unable to do so. Well, how about a way to be a virtual classroom helper through the internet? I would like to offer you the opportunity to be one of our guest bloggers. You pick a topic that interests you and share some fun facts about it. Photos help us learn better, so include a picture or a link to an educational website. I can help with those items. It’s not scary. This offers you the chance to be a 21st Century Learner right along with us.
Please let me know if this idea excites you!
Mrs. P 😀
Hello Families,
I thought I should check in with a quick reminder about some special assignments that are due soon.
1. Be sure to finish up that extra special valentine heart for your child. We’d like to read them to the class this Friday.
2. Our 100th Day Celebration will be on the 25th. Your child needs your assistance to collect exactly 100 items that will fit in the plastic bag that was sent home in the homework folder.
I have been collecting student work all year long to put into a very special Kindergarten Memory Book as a keepsake for you and your child. It’s time to start putting these items into a binder, but I need your help in two ways. First, please donate $7.00 so I can purchase the materials that are needed to create these books. Also, let me know if you are willing to assist in actually filling the books for our class.
If you are purchasing new cellphones, please consider donating your old phones to our class. I can use any kind of old smartphone, iPod or iPod Touch to set up learning centers in our room. Of course, an old iPad or KindleFire would be over the top wonderful to have. We won’t mind a cracked screen either!
If you have ever been curious about other kinds of donations to make our classroom a center of 21st Century Learning, please consider passing along an Apple Store gift card. I am setting aside money to purchase another iPad for the classroom. It is my goal to provide daily access to technology for every one of my students. Your support would be major boost towards achieving it!
If you are looking for a way to get rid of some old electronics, we have your solution. Just bring those items to the Carroll parking lot on Saturday, January 31st between 9 AM and 1PM. You get your garage cleaned out a bit and our school earns some money for new computer equipment. It’s a win-win!
Thank you so much for the substantial response to my request for tissues. Thirteen boxes were donated, Wow! That should keep us covered for a while. We could still use one or two bottles of hand sanitizer, however. So keep us in mind when you head to the store. 😀
Our PTA is sponsoring a Dinner Night Out (DNO) at Rubio’s on Thursday, January 22nd. It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider stopping by for a meal or a snack. Twenty percent of all sales will be donated to our school. Be sure to tell the cashier to include your total in the count for Carroll.
