During the week of Sunday, February 11 through Saturday, February 17, 2007 we will have a book fair at Barnes and Noble. Take the flier you will get in your Thursday folder on Thursday, February 8, 2007 and the school will get a percentage of the money you spend at the Town Center Barnes and Noble that week. The more you spend the more Barnes and Noble will donate back to our school!
On Thursday, February 15, 2007 we will have a reading night at Barnes and Noble. Join us in the children's section at 7:00 for thirty minutes of fun with Mrs. Hailey.
We recently put a survey out to find out who might be interested in a book club. A huge number of surveys came back showing a great amount of student interest. A formal letter to join the book club will be sent home soon. Check your Thursday folders.
Lois Ehlert is our author during the month of December. We have learned how she likes to use items found around the house, such as corn kernels, coffee beans, and beads. The entrance of the media center and the hall is lined going out to the buses with snowmen we made using these same "around the house" items. We also learned how Lois likes to create four-legged animals with a triangle face. We made porcupines, tigers, elephants, bears, cats, dogs, and many other animals all with triangle faces. It is amazing how with the same triangle shape the students can go in so many different directions with their art work. Lois Ehlert's creative art crafts have allowed kindergarteners a lot of creativity as well this month.
