Valentine's Day



Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching.  Our class will exchange valentines on Friday the 14th.  If your child wishes to give valentines to his/her classmates, please read the following guidelines: 

1.     Please send your child to school that day with a decorated box or bag to bring home their valentines in.

2.     We will be exchanging valentines first thing in the morning (before 8:00am) so please ensure your child is on time to school on the 14th.

3.    Be sure that your child writes his/her name on every valentine he/she is giving away.  Otherwise, the other students won’t know who gave it to them. 

4.    Please use the class list attached to this letter to locate the names of your child’s classmates. Please encourage your child to use capital letters to begin each name.  We ask that you include all students so that nobody feels left out.

5.    There is no need to include valentines for the teachers. We feel very loved already!

6.    This is a wonderful project for your child to do with your help.  It is too overwhelming to do in one night and the results will probably be sloppy and you will have a frustrated child if you try this.  I suggest doing about 4 valentines each evening.  This way your child can take their time and do a quality job.  It will be much more enjoyable for all involved!


Happy Valentine’s Day,
J. Powers

KIndergator Update 9.14

I am watching a 6 year old jump off a high diving board here at Georgia Tech as I type this. There is so much excitement and fear at the same time in her eyes as she gets ready to jump. It reminds me of how our kiddos look right before they sound out a big word in class. It is such fun to watch. Here are some things we worked on this week: Reading: We continued blending sounds together in guided reading groups. We began introducing the “letters that work together to make one sound” trick with blends like (sw, sn, st, sp). We also began our study of the parts of a story by discussing characters. Did you know anything can me a character if you write a story about it? We read about a blue dot as a character and a chameleon. We also reviewed th difference between real reading and fake fiction through our topic of chameleons this week. Math: We finished naming all the 2d shapes and describing them. Next week we will begin “eating” them. If your child can correctly describe the at...

KIndergator Update

Happy first week of Kindergarten! It has been a really smooth transition so far, so thank you parents. Here are some things we worked on this week: Rules, rules and more rules. What to do if you don't know what to do......raise your hand or look for a clue! Who are the people in your campground (school)? Who are the people in you camp (through sharing our all about me bags)? Next week we move into our regular schedule and begin curriculum. Our focus will be getting used to the schedule, building independence and an "I can" attitude. Look for an update next week to see how well we did. In the meantime here are some great quotes from our class this week. "I have a joke for you" "Okay" "What did the corn dog say?" "What?" "No. no monkey!" The whole class falls out laughing. "The lunch choices are hamburger, mac and cheese or salad. What would you like?" "Pizza." "Well there is ...

Kindergator Update 9.21 and some requests

Break time! I hope you have a wonderful week off. We can all use some rest and hopefully some fall weather. Here are some things we worked on this week. Reading: We continued working on the difference between real reading and fake fiction with our unit about apples. We also began our talk of how to do a great story retelling by focusing on the who (characters) and where (setting) in our first sentence. Math: We worked on comparing and contrasting 2d shapes and introduced vocabulary for 3d shapes such as edges, vertices and faces. Social Studies: We compared and contrasted the GA and US flags. Vocabulary: Cube, edge, vertices, orchard, pollen, nectar, symbol Big Things: We have had some big chats this week about how we treat others. Within the past week I have heard kids tell Mrs. Watson she doesn't pack them up right. After a student dropped their fruit on the ground they told Mrs. Watson she was supposed to clean it up for them. She and Mrs. McGhee have been told just ...
