Happy 23rd Week of Kindergarten! This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Southern California Kindergarten Conference in Pasadena. I attended 6 workshops from numerous educational speakers on math, literacy, and STEAM. These educators shared tips and strategies that I can use in our classroom to enhance our learning experience in Kindergarten. I even won raffle prizes with educational resources and games for my class! I can't wait to implement these ideas into our classroom to make the most of our last 4 months of Kindergarten!
Please carefully review this week's newsletter as we will be having a lot of activities this week!
Wed Feb 11th - SAP Valentine’s Day Observation This year, Valentine’s day does not fall during the School week. As a school, we will be allowing students to wear RED or PINK with their P.E uniform bottoms on WEDNESDAY, FEB 11th to celebrate our LOVE! SAP Student Government will be doing a fundraiser for JEANS with their tops, for $1!
Friday Feb 13th - KINDER Valentine’s Day Celebration Although students are wearing red on Wednesday, KINDERGARTEN will be engaging in Valentine’s Day lessons and activities on FRIDAY! Students will still need to wear their Formal Mass Uniform, but we will also be celebrating it in OUR class on Friday :)
If you choose to bring goodies to pass out, please ensure you have 31 for each student. We do have students with dairy and peanut allergies, so please be mindful of what you will be sharing. I will NOT be letting them open the goodies during class, they will be sent home with everything!
**Please plan to send your child with a LARGE storage/grocery bag for your child to store their goodies. In many years, they tend to go home with A LOT of goodies!**
Wed Feb 18th - Ash Wednesday Lent begins on Wednesday, February 18th. Students will wear their formal mass uniform as we will be attending mass to receive our ashes on our foreheads! Our Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on April 2nd on Holy Thursday. For this season, we will be attending the Stations of the Cross every Friday too.
