Guest Day

Guest Day
We had a great time at guest day this afternoon!  Thank you to all of the special visitors that came to help make today special!































Teddy Bear Picnic
Don't forget to send a teddy bear or other stuffed animal to school with your child tomorrow for our special teddy bear picnic!  We'll (hopefully) be outside in the afternoon to enjoy a snack and drink with our classmates and stuffed friends.  Your child can also bring a blanket to sit on.  Thanks in advance for making tomorrow fun!

Almost Spring Break!

NO Homework
Due to no school Friday, and feeling the Spring Break spirit :) there will be NO homework this week!  Enjoy!  We will resume our normal homework schedule when we return to school on Monday, April 3.  I will be updating the homework sheet starting then with new words for nonsense word fluency and phoneme segmentation fluency.


Riley Spirit Days
This week, Creekside will be participating in spirit days to help raise money to donate to Riley.  Any dollar amount donation will allow your child to participate if you want to!  You can donate some each day, or one lump sum at the beginning of the week.  The goal is $1/day, but whatever you can send to donate will help the kids at Riley! What a fun countdown to spring break!
Tuesday--Glam Day (think dress up, sparkles, the works!)
Wednesday--Silly Sock Day
Thursday--Wear Red Day


Guest Day
Don't forget that Kindergarten Guest Day is Wednesday at 1:30.  Guests will arrive through the front office and proceed to our classroom.  Please wait in the hallway until 1:30.  If something changes and the guest cannot attend, please let me know asap so I can pair that child with another guest for the scavenger hunt!  Also, if your child will be going home with their guest after school, please write me a note on Wednesday and let me know that!  Thanks!

Teddy Bear Picnic
I would like to do a special spring activity Thursday, March 23rd!  It’s the last day before Spring Break, and I would like to take the class outside in the afternoon for a teddy bear picnic!  Please help your child select a small to  medium-sized stuffed bear or other favorite stuffed animal to bring to school on next Thursday, March 23.  Please do not send in  animals before Thursday!

Happy Friday!

Creekside's Spring School Pictures are set for Tuesday, March 21st. Only students who prepay for pictures will have their picture taken. Please send in the form with payment or you may complete that process online at inter-state.com/order and use code 17088JA.

Spring Carnival Shirts
Don't forget to order an awesome Creekside PTO Spring Carnival t-shirt for your child! Order by March 23rd


Coke Rewards and Campbell's Labels for Education
We know that many of you collect Boxtops for Education, along with other labels that earn our school money. Here is an update on two of those programs:
Coke Rewards as we know it is ending, and we have 7 days left to enter points and donate to Creekside! If you're saving points at home, please visit www.mycokerewards.com and enter those codes into your account, click MCR for Schools and donate their value to Creekside before it's too late!
Also, Campbell's Labels for Education is phasing out. Currently, only complete UPCs that include the Labels for Education logo are accepted.  These UPCs will need to be turned in by the end of this school year, so check those cabinets!

NO Homework
Due to no school Friday, and feeling the Spring Break spirit :) there will be NO homework next week!  Enjoy!  We will resume our normal homework schedule when we return to school on Monday, April 3.  I will be updating the homework sheet starting then with new words for nonsense word fluency and phoneme segmentation fluency.

Superkids
Next week we will work on the letter W.  We are almost done with the next book!  I can't believe how fast this school year is going!  Only 6 letters (and 2 workbooks) left!  We will be ready for another progress test after W, but we will probably wait to take it until after Spring Break.  

Have a great weekend!
