Class Valentines

Good morning!

Just a quick reminder that children can start bringing valentines this week for their friends at school!  Please remember...

-If your child chooses to bring valentines, I would ask that they bring valentines for everyone in our class.  That would be 17 valentines.
-Valentines may be brought to school this week...February 6-10.
-Please do not send valentines next week…I will be gone Monday and as you might imagine, Tuesday will be way too crazy already!
-Valentines do not need to be store bought.  They may be made at home with love.
-Please have your child SIGN his/her name to EACH valentine.
-Your child will be dropping a valentine in each valentine box at school so please know that
cards/envelopes should not be addressed with names for classmates.
-You may be creative with your valentines, but please remember that candy or any edible food is not allowed at Meadow Lane School.


Thank you and have fun!

Thank you, Thanksgiving!


Thank you, friends!
Thank you,  colorful leaves.
Thank you, quiet mornings.
Thank you, family!
Thank you, kindergarten!
Thank you, hearts full of love.
Thank you, blessings from above!

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is "thank you"...then it will be enough.

We Are Mathematicians!

We have been working on creating patterns, building numbers, and identifying number partners.  Here are some mathematicians busy at work!

Writing the number 5!

What might be partners of 10?

Designing an "AB" pattern!

Can you find the puzzle piece that extends the pattern?

Patterns with people!
Spin!  Think of partners!  Make an equation!  5+3=8


5+1=6
A long curvy pattern of jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins!

Comparing number towers...8 is more than 3!


What is one more?  2 plus 1 more is 3.  6 plus 1 more is 7.  9 plus 1 more is 10.

Building numbers using a " 5 group"!   5+3 = 8 and 5+5=10
Patriotic patterns!
