Hello Rainbows! Happy Monday!

Valentines Cards

We will still celebrate with some fun learning activities and a card exchange on Friday, February 13th. If your child will be passing out cards on Valentines, please make sure you have at least 22 (23 students total). Also please do not write the names of their classmates in the "To:" section, but only have your child write their own name on each card.

Field Trip! (Olympus "Read-In")

All Kindergarten students will be going on their first off-campus field trip! This is a simple and easy one. The district sends us on buses from Greenhills to Olympus Jr. High. The students are accompanied by all the Kindergarten teachers. We will bus the five minutes to Olympus. There, students stay together as a class in the multipurpose room where each student sits with an 8th grader to read together. Then we go eat a snack and drink together, before busing back to Greenhills in time for regular lunch. Having done this for a few years now, I can tell you it is such a cute experience! Please return the permission slips as soon as possible. (Snack will include animal crackers, fruit snacks, and a juice box - ingredients photos are below if you want to check. Please let me know if your child cannot have any of the snacks and if an alternative will be provided).

Progress Monitoring

I am sending home Unit 5 progress reports home in Wednesday folders this week. If you notice your child does not know some sight words or sounds, please practice these with them. I begin assessing for end of trimester grades this week. So, practice practice, practice!

RandoM Acts of Kindness Week! February 9th-13th

Get ready for a week dedicated to compassion and community! Mrs. Reichardt has planned wonderful activities for the students to participate in throughout the week.

Conferences - March 5th and 6th

This week in Wednesday folders you will receive a letter that will let you know whether or not you should schedule a spring parent-teacher conference. Please be on the look out for it and if I have asked for a conference, the directions are on the letter on how to schedule one. These conferences are on an as-needed basis so not all families will need one. If I don't schedule one with you but you would like to meet with me, please let me know!
