We go outside whenever it’s not raining so please remember to send a jacket, hat and gloves or mittens for your child.
Registration for 2014-2015 School Year
Registration for 2014-2015 School Year is fast approaching! I encourage you to visit other classes and check out their handbooks on line. If you have any questions or would like to visit with me about next year please feel free to email me or we can set up a time to discuss placement.
Registration for 2014-2015 will be the first of next month. In-House Registration will be Feb 5th 2014 beginning at 9:15 in JLH and Open Registration will be held on Feb 7th.
Silent Auction - The morning Class basket
It is time to prepare for Little Acorn's annual Auction and Dinner. The Dragonfly Class is putting together a Tour of Maryhill Winery (located in Goldendale, Wa) basket to auction off. We currently have a donation to tour the vineyard and two bottles of Maryhill wine.
To complete the basket we would like to ask every parent to donate $15 towards it so that we can buy a few items (a nice pair of wine glasses, a gas card, etc.) We understand that not everyone may be in a position to make a full donation but any amount you can offer will certainly help! All donations must be turned into Teacher Denise by January 31st so that we will have enough time to purchase the goods and put the basket together.
If you would like a receipt please let me know.
Portfolios
We will begin really focusing on doing our best work to put in our portfolios and starting an alphabet book that will go in their books. So you might want to talk about doing your best work.
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we are exploring the world of animals during the winter including what Bears do. We will be making Bird Seed Cookies on Thursday and Friday to send home to hang in your back yard to feed some your neighborhood birds (or squirrels). We will learn about Bears this week and next closing with a PJ Party on Thursday Jan 30th!
Word Wall
The letter of the week for the next two weeks will be Bb. Please remember that we only share items that start with the letter of week. This is a great way to talk with your child about beginning sounds and finding letters in your environment.

Make New Friends
Make new friends,
But keep the old.
One is silver,
And the other, gold.
A circle's round
It has no end
That's how long
I'm gonna be your friend.
