Kindergarten News
Week of February 17- February 20, 2015
Thank you so much for the wonderful Valentine party.
It was great to have all of the help, too. The kids LOVED every minute of the
festivities!
On
Friday, February 20th from 10:15-10:45, all kindergarten classes
will be demonstrating their square dancing skills in the gym. Come and enjoy
dancing with your little cowboy or cowgirl! Everyone can wear their western
clothes to celebrate GO TEXAN DAY at Rummel Creek. (Note: if your cowboy/cowgirl
wears boots, please send an extra pair of shoes for playing on the playground
later in the day.)

Finish Presidents and

the end of the year. Keep reading your home readers– they really help!
Also, please send your book bags back each
MONDAY.
