We have officially begun one of the busiest times of the school year. Please check this blog and the dates on the left sidebar each week. This will help you to keep track of everything that is going on. I am also using this blog entry to clarify some of the dates!
I want to begin by thanking you for your generous donations for our Dollar Dash. Our school raised approximately $2,000.00 during the week. The money is going directly to the families of Long Island and Staten Island. We are also beginning to collect school items to fill backpacks for some of the children who need to attend new schools and may have lost all of their original supplies. We are collecting items according to grade levels for this project. As a kindergarten team, we are in charge of collecting pencils, erasers, and primary notebooks to fill up these backpacks. We will have collection boxes in our classrooms. I am currently working with some teachers in Staten Island to assess some of the long term needs of children and families. Perhaps we can connect to another school as a year long project if some of you are interested? Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you so much for the support given so far.
Eagle's Silent Auction is coming soon! Each grade level is in charge of filling up a gift basket for this event. The kindergarten gift basket is all about books. Please consider sending in a favorite picture book to put into our kindergarten gift basket for this event. The items are due this Friday, November 16th.
American Education Week: Please join us in our classroom this Wednesday, November 14th at 2:15. We will be visiting the Book Fair and creating a project together in our classroom.
Turkeys are due! Please send in your Family Turkey Project. We love sharing them.
Family Picture: Please send in a picture of your family as soon as possible. The picture should be 4 x 6 inches. I would really love to have the pictures by Tuesday, November 13th!
50th Day of School~ We have been counting the days in our kindergarten classroom. Our friend, Zero the Hero, visits us each time we reach a new group of ten. He visited on the 10th day, the 20th day, the 30th day, and the 40th day. The 50th day of school will be on Monday, November 19th. Zero the Hero will visit us on this day AND we will also have a 50th Celebration. The kindergarten teachers will provide the activities and the treats, but please help us by dressing your child in clothes that celebrate the 1950s! Please do not buy anything new. Your child can wear rolled up jeans, a white shirt, rolled down socks... Use what you already have at home.
Report Cards: Parent Teacher Conference Days are approaching. Please note that the children will be dismissed at 11:45 on these days. Your child's report card will be on BC@HOME the day prior to your child's conference. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your ongoing support during this busy time of the year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne :)
