Popcorn Confusion & Goat Update

 

My apologies about the confusion with popcorn day this week. Normally, popcorn day happens on the last Wednesday of each month but was changed to Wed, Feb 13th in conjunction with the African Colour Day (fundraising for mission trip). I will keep the popcorn money for students who sent money in on Wednesday so please don't send any more money for Feb 13th. 

Our class has now raised $50 - enough for a goat! Thank you for all your donations!

100 Day Project

The hundredth day of school will be Monday, February 17th. We are planning a big celebration. This homework assignment is in preparation for this event.

Step 1

Brainstorm with your family, items you could collect in quantities of 100. (Example: 100 cotton balls, 100 pennies, 100 erasers, 100 noodles, or 100 stickers) 

Step 2 

Choose something from your list and gather 100 of that item. 

Step 3

Create and design a unique way to display your collection. Poster board, construction paper or cardboard work well.

Step 4

Attach your collection to your display board. 

Step5 
Bring it to school by Tuesday, February 11th

Thank you John!

Thank you to John Banovich for coming on Tuesday and giving a great presentation on being a film director to both  K classes. The students were excited to see the footage of a bear in the wild - many of them shared their own bear encounter stories!

On Thursday, Mr. Pregil explained his job as a registered nurse in the emergency department. He reminded us of the importance of good hand washing and the use of the emergency number 911. The students were excited to see how the stethoscope works and receive a band-aid afterwards.

Yesterday afternoon, all of the Kindergarten students listened to Mrs. Baptista's presentation on germs, hand washing and immunizations. Mrs. Lemire, Mrs. Olaybal and Mrs. Lewis' hands were inspected under the black light for germs - even adults need reminders on good hand washing techniques!
