Our New Book

Dear parents,

Happy Valentine's Day! We have had a busy week as usual. Today we wrote part of the blog entry together. I hope to do this with the class more often. I think it is a great way to show them that our writing has a purpose and an audience. I am posting this blog a few days early because I know tomorrow will be chaotic after our Valentine celebration. I'd like to thank all of you for donating items to our event. I know the class will have a great time. Remember, there is no school Friday the 15th or Monday the 18th in observance of Presidents' Day. We will resume class on Tuesday.
Miss Katie was vey happy to get her flowers and read her card this morning. The bouquet looked beautiful and the childrens' drawings and hand written notes made a nice book for her to remember her 17th (not 16th-oops!) birthday.

Don't forget! next Thursday is our 100th Day celebration. We will start our day with the other kindergarteners in the auditorium and then return to our classroom for centers. I still need 2 volunteers to help me in the afternoon on that day. I have a sign up sheet posted on the door. Have a great holiday weekend and enjoy the notes from our class...

Dear Parents,

We made this book. I hope you enjoy it. (-Evan)
