Hi Everyone,

This week, St. Brendan School is celebrating Catholic School week, they have invited us to participate.  They have different activities planned thoughout the week.
      Monday -       Dress up as your favorite character from a story book (not cartoon, tv or movie                                         characters). (Optional)
      Tuesday -      During school, the upper grades will help the children play bingo.  Always fun.
      Wednesday - There will be "carnival" activities in the gym for the children.
      Thursday -     Carnival activities continue.  In addition, we will write Valentines Day cards for                                          veterians and senior citizens.  They will just sign their names.
       Friday -         The Home Shool is supplying hot chocolate for all of the students as a treat.  

The weather outside is getting colder and it is time to switch the spare clothing you sent into school at the beginning of the year to warmer gear.  If you have already done this, Thank you.  We will go through the clothes and let you know with a letter or verbally if you need to update.

Our class will explore the topic of "transportation"  for the month of January.  This topic can go many places, depending on the children.  This week, we are going to discuss How do we stay safe when using transportation?  We will make street signs, such as, stop, slow, yeild and caution.  In addition we will make individual street lights and discuss the meaning of each color (red, yellow, and green).  On your way to school, point out one or two signs the children may see and talk a little bit about what it means.  
Also, if anyone has old car keys you don't need, maps, metro cards and any other transpotation items, the classroom would appreciate it.

Thank you to everyone who sent in a drawing or picture of the way your child gets to school.  We have discussed them with the class and hung them up in the room.  They look great!

Important Dates:

February 14th, 17th and 18th - School is closed

Thursday, February 20, 2020 at 1pm in the school cafeteria, we will have our annual Multicultural Feast Day.  Please see information in your child's folder.  Pre - 1 & 2 will have this celebration together.

We would like you to continue to help your child with writing numbers and letters at home.  We are starting to write and discuss up to the number 15.  Also, it's very important to have them practice their names at home.  Kindergarden is much more difficult then pre-k so let's get them very ready. 

We will send home your sheets usually on Fridays and if you could return them on Mondays, that would work best.
