Book Bags: Canvas Book Bags and the Black and White book(s) you find inside this semester must return to school each day. As a reminder, "starred" books are books that your child should be able to read independently. "No star" books are books your child may need your help with. When "checkmarks" appear on our Black and White books, then, they can stay at home and no longer need to return to school. The new plastic bag of (5) paperback books can stay at home but should return each Monday. Please help build success in this routine.
Random Acts of Kindness: Please continue to help your child complete, and journal about, their acts of kindness. Please return this homework as soon as completed. Feel free to email me your pictures of your child's acts of kindness. We hope to create a large bulletin board to spread the kindness word. Your child and the classmates are eager to be leaders in our yearly Kindergarten Kindness initiative.
Book Order and Book Fair
Don't forget - our class's Scholastic Book Orders are due this Friday, February 6. To order visit scholastic.com/reading club. First time users, please use the activation code NCNYY. Also, Willowwind will be holding a Scholastic Book Fair from February 3 - 6 and February 9 - 13. Students, parents, grandparents and anyone in the local community can shop for fiction and nonfiction books for all ages. For more information about the Book Fair, go to our Book Fair Home Page. There, you will find fair hours and a preview of books being sold. Books ordered on-line will be shipped to Willowwind free of charge. Our school receives credit for future purchases based on total sales. Go to Sign Up Genius and enter the access code, giraffe, to find out how you can get involved.

Because of the Book Fair taking place in the GD space for the next week and a half, BSP and ASP will have new temporary locations. PreK-2 BSP will be held in the Monarch room. K-2 ASP will be held in the Racerunners classroom. Please note these new locations as you bring your students to and from Willowwind.

You have an opportunity to support Willowwind's music department, which includes band and general music classes, over the next few days. Willowwind will be hosting a CAN DRIVE to benefit the music program. I would like to provide you with an overview of how the process works for those of you unfamiliar with what a can drive is. The can drive involves families donating their empty, recyclable glass, aluminum, and plastic cans and bottles to the school. All cans and bottles are sorted into bags and then taken to the redemption center. The redemption center then pays the school for the items recycled.
Many of you will be busy this weekend, watching the Super Bowl and spending time with family and friends. We are asking you to save any cans and bottles from this event (or any other day this week) and donate them to Willowwind. Drop off day and time will be released next week. Stay tuned for this information coming very soon. The can drive is a great opportunity for you to donate recyclables you would otherwise get rid of while at the same time supporting Willowwind music programs.
This event closely aligns itself with Willowwind's dedication to being environmentally friendly by using recycled materials to fund-raise. Additionally, 100% of the proceeds will go directly back into the music program and ultimately enhance your child's music experience at Willowwind. We hope you are able to save your cans/bottles in the coming days and donate them to Willowwind.
