On March 6 the school store will be open. Please remember to send any money to school in your child’s VIP in a zip top baggie labeled with your child’s name and “school store”.
The March student council service project will be collecting arts and craft supplies for Horizons for Homeless Children. Please see the list of needed items that came home in VIP’s.
There are 3 early release Wednesdays this month, the 4th, the 11th, and the 25th.
Conferences start March 25th. Please be sure to return your time confirmation to me as soon as possible. Also, be looking for the pre-conference questionnaire to come home this week. I would really appreciate it if you could get them back to me at least a week before your scheduled conference.

On Friday, February 13 we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day in KM! It has been a tradition in the past that the children make and bring in Valentine’s for all of the children in the class. I will send a class list home in VIP’s so that you and your child can be sure not to leave anyone out, as I’m sure no one wants hurt feelings when it comes time to open the cards. They can also make a valentine for their fifth grade buddy(ies). Helping your child make valentine’s is a wonderful time to watch your child’s writing in progress and to celebrate how wonderful it is that they are learning to write letters and friends names! Please send in the cards with your child on the 13thand they will distribute them to their classmates. Also, I know that in the past many families have attached a lolly-pop or candy item to their valentines. This is NO LONGER ALLOWED at the Sheehan School. Any food item that comes in with the Valentine’s will be removed and thrown away before they are distributed. Thank you for your help!
Also, please bring in an EMPTY tissue box to decorate and hold all of your Valentines!

Thursday, February 12 is the 100th day of school! In Kindergarten this is a big deal! We will have a 100th day celebration. We will read books and try to find collections of 100 items in our classroom.
The children have 100th day homework due on Thursday, the 12th. They will need to bring in a collection of 100 of something. The trick is it has to be something that they can carry themselves back and forth to school! Ideas of collections children have brought in the past are pompoms, pennies, even Lego’s. The children need to be able to show how their set equals 100. An easy way to do this is to group them by tens or fives. Objects can be glued down on poster board, wrapped in rubber bands, or in bags, etc. Any way that is easy for them to carry and to explain why they choose what they did and how it equals 100. Be creative and have fun with them, it is quite a big deal to them to have been in Kindergarten for 100 whole days! Thanks for your help!
P.S. Due to a handful of food allergies, please do not send in any food items as part of their 100 collections!
