Good Afternoon Parents and Families,
We are halfway through February and boy did it fly by! Students have had a blast enjoying this beautiful (and unseasonably) weather! We have had the opportunity to be outdoors more than we typically would in February and have loved the chance to take our learning outside. There are a lot of fun activities happening in the coming months and many new curriculum highlights. Please see below for more learning and happenings, as well as announcements and important dates!
Kindly,
Lauren and Valerie

Kindness month has brought kindergarten a variety of books about what it looks like to be kind and supportive. We have spent a lot of time talking about what is means to be a helper, a friend and a role model. We often refer to kindergarten as KINDergarten. Students have been using what we are learning in our read aloud's to "catch kindness" in the classroom. In writing, we have been expanding upon our understanding of informational writing by looking at how research can help us to learn more about a topic that we can then share with our reader. We have been taking this time to grow our knowledge of habitats and the characteristics that make them unique.
