It’s hard to believe that today is the last day of January.  This month, we learned about mammals, Asia, the Lunar New Year, Martin Luther King Jr., the inauguration, winter, and the kindergarten students enjoyed their visit to the Fort Fisher Aquarium.

 

In February, we will explore the beautiful continent of Europe, learn about dental health, discuss the weather, celebrate Black History Month, observe Groundhog Day, and enjoy Valentine’s Day. We will host a small Valentine’s Day brunch on Friday, February 14, at 9:30 AM, and we hope all parents can attend! This is our way of thanking you for your support throughout the school year.

 

On Valentine’s Day, please ensure your child brings Valentine’s cards for each child in the class to hand out. There are 26 children in total. Please do not add names to the cards to facilitate easy distribution. Each child will personally deliver their cards in a circle, like a mail carrier. You and your child might want to get creative and make the cards together!

 

Important Dates Coming Up:

1. Re-enrollment forms are due Friday, January 31st (registration goes public on February 3rd).

2. Progress reports will be sent home in your child’s Friday folder.

3. Lottery applications for kindergarten are due by 4 PM on February 6th.

4. On Wednesday, February 12, we will celebrate the 100th Day of School. Have your child bring 100 small items in a baggie for counting (such as beans, pennies, marbles, Cheerios, etc.). If any child wishes to dress up to represent the number 100, feel free!

5. Valentine’s Brunch on February 14th.

6. Lottery Drawing on February 25th.

 

We appreciate everyone who has purchased additional items from the wish list, and thank you for all your support in the class!

It is hard to believe we are already at the end of November. This has been a very busy month for our class. We held our annual States Parade, and it was our best one yet! We introduced North America and learned about its indigenous people. During our all-school event, the Woodell family spoke to all the students about the Lumbee tribe, and Lynkon demonstrated a warrior dance while wearing his regalia. We also explored the USA, and the kindergarten students went on a field trip to Fort Fisher.

 

In December, we will learn how different countries celebrate the holidays. We will also learn about community helpers throughout history (blacksmiths, candle-makers, etc.), and the children will learn how to make candles.

 

Here are a few dates to remember:

 

·      Wednesday, December 19: last day of school before winter break

·      Monday, January 6: classes resume

 

We want to wish you all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

 

In Peace,

 

Ms. Samara and Ms. Jodi

October has been busy as we’ve explored pumpkins, fall, families, the world, land, air, water, nutrition, and Halloween!

 

In November, we will start our new unit studies focusing on North America and the United States. Our annual States Parade is scheduled for Friday, November 8th. If you haven't done so, please sign up using the Signup Genius link.

 

 

Halloween is on Thursday, October 31st. Please have your child come to school dressed in orange and black, as costumes are not allowed. We have planned a fun day filled with crafts, songs, Halloween stories, and a special snack.

 

Thank you to everyone who has signed up for conferences. I look forward to speaking with you on Friday, November 1st.

 

The Kindergartners will have their next field trip on November 5th, where we will visit the fort at Fort Fisher. Kindergarten parents, please watch for a permission slip in your child’s Friday folder.

 

Please note that school will be closed on November 11th for Veterans Day and from November 27th to 29th for the Thanksgiving holiday.

 

We wish you all a fun and safe weekend!

 

In peace,

 

Ms. Samara and Ms. Jodi
