Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

The 100th Day of School is TOMORROW! After all the snow days we have finally made it! We will have a special 100th day snack, count to 100 in several different ways, and celebrate being 100 days smarter!
BOOK ORDER IS DUE ON WEDNESDAY!!!
I posted a photo of the make-up schedule in depth on our FB page, but an FYI to those that missed, our last day of school will now be Wednesday, May 29th and it will be an early release! If we have any snow days from here on out, it will alternate what we make up! So the next one is forgiven, if there is another one we will make it up on May 30th, if there is one after that it is forgiven, etc… I hope that makes sense!
I hope everyone saw the February Family Project and Kindness calendar! February is kindness month and we are really working as a McQuerry family to be kind to others. Using kind words, kind actions, etc… Acts of kindness do not always need to cost money! Your kiddo can make a thank you card for the fire department for free! There are lots of ideas on the calendar (pink). Please feel free to send a picture of your student doing something kind for me to hang up in the hallway.
Please remember to continue to send your student to school with a heavy coat! Missouri weather is weird, but if it is 32 degrees or above and not raining, we WILL be outside for recess! We have talked about it as a class to help your parents remember this!
We are in need of sandwich (quart) sized baggies if you can send in any! Thank you!
