Spring Arts Fiesta
Mark your calendar! The Kindergarten Spring Arts Fiesta is Thursday, May 2nd from 8:50-9:15 in the Longfellow Auditorium.
(Please note this may be different than a friend's time. Two
kindergarten homerooms are going at one time and three more at another.)
Bookworms
You may have heard about "Bookworms" from your kindergartener. This
is a lunchtime program I've hosted for first and second grade for a few
years now. I just opened it up to kindergarten. We meet during the
first half of lunch on Thursdays, in lieu of going outside. Some
students have stayed in to give it a try. If you'd like to make it
"official," just email me and I'll add his/her name to my list. If not,
no worries. I know many don't want to miss a minute of outside recess!
Scholastic Books
Scholastic book order forms went home yesterday. If you do not wish to order, no problem. If you would like to order books, please complete the form by Friday, March 22. You can either order online with a credit card, or send the form back to me with a check made out to Scholastic. We earn a free book for the classroom library every time a parent places an order online.

•SEND your order to me online by the due date and your child’s books will be delivered directly to my classroom. Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure.
If your books are a surprise, please let me know and we can arrange a time for you to pick them up. Otherwise, I will send them home with your kindergartener.

Thank you!
Longfellow raised $3851.91 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Way to go! Our class came in 2nd place with $577. Thank you for being so generous!
Winter Carnival
Have fun tomorrow! Lots of info has been going home in paper and Longfellow email form about this great annual event. Have a great time and support Longfellow's PTO which does wonderful things for our school!
Nourish to Flourish
Longfellow's Nourish to Flourish theme for March is
nutrition. We will celebrate P.A.C.K. (Pack Assorted Colors for
Kids) Week March 11th-15th. During this week, kids are encouraged to
both eat a fruit or vegetable and wear the color of the day.
Monday: Green
Tuesday: White
Wednesday: Yellow/Orange
Thursday: Purple
Friday: Red
That week, we will use tally marks to keep track of the fruits and vegetables of all colors we eat at school (lunch and snack.)
Reading Calendars
Don't forget to turn in your February reading calendar! March calendars went home today. If you lost yours, any calendar printed off the internet will do.
