Kindergarten Research on Ocean Animals
Frequently we read nonfiction during K library time. In December we read nonfiction books about sea animals and went on Reading Rainbow adventures with Levar Burton to see whales breach and sea turtles lay eggs!

Physical Education Corner
If possible please send students to school on Phys. Ed. days with clothing and accessories suitable for vigorous physical activity. I suggest sneakers be brought in a bag on days when boots or fancy shoes are worn. An extra hair elastic for long hair, shorts if a dress or skirt is worn. No dangling earrings and as little jewelry as possible. Thank you.
Drop Off Safety Reminders
There have been a couple of car accidents (cars hitting other cars) in front of school in the morning and we would like to remind drivers to be very careful when dropping off their children in the morning. Please look to Phoebe, our crossing guard, for direction. She is there to keep everyone safe. We appreciate your help! It will only become more difficult when the snow piles arrive. Thanks for your help! Lissa
