Happy Heart Week!

As you all know we have been very busy this week with all our Valentine activities.  Thanks for helping your children with their Valentine boxes.  They looked great and the kids enjoyed showing them off!  We had fun showing friendship and love to our classmates and others yesterday!

“Pastries with Parents” was very successful.  We enjoyed watching all the parents and grandparents spending quality time with their children.  Your kids always love to show you off!!!   

We did our Valentine’s Day service project for Room in the Inn.  The kids helped put together Blessing Bags filled with toiletries and treats for the men to use. We enjoyed getting to share the love of Jesus with others!

Continue working on writing, counting, and alphabet letters/sight words daily with your children.  We, as their teachers, can see a huge improvement from the beginning of the school year and we hope you are seeing it too.

Next week we will move on to the letter U, work more on rhyming words, the sound each letter makes, and we will be working on a project to display in the hallway for Black History Month.

The week of February 25-March 1 is Read Across America Week in honor of Dr. Seuss.  Be looking for a sign up sheet outside our door to be a guest reader in the classroom.  Find your favorite book to share with us.  It can be from any author.

Don’t forget:  Monday, February 18^th – no school

Share the Love

We have had a very nice, unusually warm week.  We spent quite a bit of time outside this week soaking up the sun!  It was wonderful!

The kids enjoyed learning about farm animals, reading and retelling the story of the Three Little Pigs, and are working hard on letters, sounds, counting, and sight words. 

Next Thursday, we will celebrate Valentine's Day.  Please have your child make a card for each child in the classroom.  Fill it out like this:
To:  My Friend                                                 
From: Your child's name
The passing out process goes a lot faster this way.  They can also make cards for Mrs. Vinson, Mrs. Boyd and the specialty teachers if they would like to do that.
Remember to either decorate a Valentines box or gift bag.  That is what they will use to collect their cards.  Send the cards and box/bag on Thursday.
We will be making Blessing Bags as a way to serve others and show them how much we love them.  We know the kids will enjoy this project!

We hope  you have registered with the office for Pastries with Parents on Thursday morning.  If not, please do so ASAP.  On this day, please bring your child's belongings to the classroom and then head to the cafeteria for your treats.  After eating, bring your child to the room.  You may either head to the gym to enjoy a special chapel with us or you can tell your child goodbye.  We look forward to seeing you all that day!

We hope you are planning to re-enroll your child at EHCS for Kindergarten.  As their teachers, we look forward to watching them grow up at our school.  We love having you as part of the Ezell-Harding family!

Conference day is approaching.  Your child's teacher will be contacting you Monday if the teacher feels a conference may be necessary at this time. 

Have a fantastic weekend!

Hello February

Hello Everyone!

This week we finished our unit on Transportation and will begin Animals Around Us on Monday.  We celebrated the 100th day of school and now we are on the downward slop.  We hoped for a snow day, but didn't really get that.  Hopefully, we will have another chance.  February is full of fun and we can't wait to get started on it all.  Here are some important dates:

February 5th- 1/2 day dismissal at 10:45 for teacher inservice.  Your child will need to bring their lunch if staying for extended day.

February 14th is Pastries with Parents.  Don't forget to sign up on the link sent out by Mrs. Boyd.  Also, we will be having our yearly service project.  This year we are going to be making Blessing Bags for the Room in the Inn program at Rural Hill Church of Christ.  If you are unfamiliar with this, they feed and service the homeless in the area.
Also, your child will need to bring in a decorated box and Valentine card for each of their classmates.  Please be watching for an email from your child's teacher concerning this.

February 18th- No school, President's Day

February 27th is a change on our Field Trip schedule.  Originally, we were going to the Children's Theater in March.  However, the music teacher scheduled us to go to TPAC to see "The Rainbow Fish".  Unfortunately, we will not be able to take parents along on this trip.  There is no extra charge for this trip.  It's already been paid for in your Activity Fee.

***PLEASE SEND IN BOX TOPS!  WE NEED AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.  THANKS!***

Have a great weekend!  Enjoy the warmer weather!
