Dear Kindergarten Families,

We had a nice Valentine’s Day celebration in class on Friday. Thank you and your children for the Valentine cards, chocolates, hugs, sweet treats and tea, flowers, pens, and even a stuffed animal!  🙂   AND  I hope all enjoyed the extra day this weekend to celebrate all our Presidents. We will continue learning several interesting facts about these important men during Social Studies this week.
