Swimming Thursday, Parents needed Feb 9, Culture Day!


Swimming Thursday, confirmation pending
We have class swim scheduled for this Thursday. Volunteer confirmations are required or we will cancel (some of you got an email from me asking you to confirm).  Be sure to put your child's swimsuit, towel, and goggles in a “swim bag” in their locker. Avoid tights or tie-shoes on swim days. If you aren’t signed up for Thursday’s swim but can come and help, let me know. We might need you!

More opportunities to help in the classroom!
We have some exciting activities coming up and need some parent help. I’ll put a signup on the parent board or you can email/text/call me to sign up. Thank you for making these activities possible for our class!!

We need 6 parents from 8:45-11:30 on Tuesday, February 9
On Feb. 9, our class and Ms. Crozier’s class will be having a culminating activity for their forest studies unit. We need parents to help set up activities in the gym, guide students through activity stations, and break down the activities at the end. The goals is well-organized, amazing-fun for the kids. Let me know if you can help.

Culture day, Date TBD
Sometime in late winter/early spring, the kindergarten would like to have a “culture day” to help introduce all of the kids to cultures that their peers are part of. Ms. Miles would like to be inclusive to the cultures of all class families. Families participating will provide a 10-15 minute mini-lesson or activity to multiple small groups (could include various things such as, a game, display of clothing or other items, photos to show, stories to read, craft/dance/musical instruments to try, etc.). For example, Jeremy & I will set up a small tipi and share some tools used by Nez Perce Indians.
Does your family participate in cultural activities that can be shared?
Would you be willing to share any of your family’s cultural traditions with the class?
You can sign up on the board or contact me directly for more information.

Thanks all!!
