This Cycle
Isn’t it hard to believe we have been in school for over 100 days now! Our focus this week in phonics
was the ‘Uu’’ sound. We talked about how the letter Uu is a vowel and can make many different
sounds. We are learning the difference between needs and wants in social studies. Please remember
to practice sight words at home. We will be assessing them in the next couple of weeks.

100th Day
We had a great 100th day of school! The children had a ton of fun writing their numbers to 100,
counting out 100 pieces of snack, matching numbers to 100, recognizing 3D shapes in the number 100,
and playing a Race to 100 game.

Thank you so much to the parents who donated items for 100 pieces of snack. We couldn’t
do this fun activity without you! Thank you also to all of the parents that came to help with the centers. Your help and involvement are so valuable!

We had so many great 100’s day projects. We loved seeing the creativity and imagination each
child used in this project. I am so proud of each of them.

Snacks
When you and your child are deciding what snack to send in, especially for a birthday, please
remember that we have a child with allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and another child with
an allergy to red dye in our class. Some families choose to send in a separate snack if the class snack
contains those ingredients. We do have alternative snacks in the classroom if needed but a
separate snack helps the child with the allergy feel thought about. Thank you!

Valentines Day
Please send in your child’s Valentine cards on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. We will hand
them out during our party on Thursday. We will be decorating bags in the classroom so there is no
need to send in a Valentine box.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
It’s hard to believe that it is time to start planning for the last scheduled conference for this
school year.
school year.
The end of second trimester is February 22nd. Our spring parent-teacher conferences are the
week of February 25th. This year’s spring conference window is formatted differently than the fall
conferences. The change reflects the ongoing nature of electronic communication between parents
and teachers throughout the school year and our efforts to provide ‘just in time’ responses to parent
questions and concerns about their child’s progress as they arise. As a result, conferences will be
scheduled with parents on an ‘as needed’ basis. The goal is to schedule conferences with parents of
children needing additional academic, social, or emotional support and those with ongoing improvement
plans. To ensure you have the most up-to-date information about your child’s progress, report
cards will come home the week of February 25th. If you have questions about your child’s progress
at any time, please let me know.

Solid Shape Museum
We will start learning about the 3D shapes cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, and pyramid. If you have items
at home that have any of these shapes, please send them in with your child so we can practice
recognizing these shapes in our environment by making a solid shape museum in our classroom.
(Please label the items if possible and please do not send in fragile and/or valuable items as the
children will be touching these).
