Chinese New Year's celebration

Thank you Mrs. Lassiter for the Chinese candy treat to celebrate Chinese New Year. Here is some information that Mrs. Lassiter passed on to us:

There is a Chinese New Year celebration this Saturday (1/28) at Exposition Center, NC State Fairground. It is the year of Dragon. The advanced ticket is $5 (on that day is $8). The kids age 6 and under are free. Since your class did the Chinese New Year theme for the holiday rotation, I thought you may be interested in the event as well as your students. There will be lion dance, dragon dance, folk dances, arts and crafts, food, etc. You can find more information at http://www.nctacas.org/.

                                                 Happy 100th

Today is the 92nd day of kindergarten!  We would like each child to create a collection of 100 things to bring into class next week. Have your child count out 10 groups of 10 items. Small items like : cotton balls, toothpicks, buttons, marshmellows and  cereal can be glued onto foam board to display. Be creative and have your child help with numbering their items on the display board. Send in your collections as soon as they're ready. Warning, make sure glue is dried before sending the collections in. We will celebrate the 100th day on Monday, February 6th. This is because we will have some kindergarten teachers out on Friday and want classes to celebrate on the same day.

I spent my holiday enjoying my family, including my granddaughter Mackenzie and time with my friends and church activities. I finished a quilt for my sister and one for my friend's soon to be granddaughter. Coming home this week I could tell how much my dog, Bella, missed having her people home full time! I hope all of you enjoyed spending time with your family and friends.


Mackenzie is looking forward to meeting her new brother in April, so is Nana.
