Fun in KB! We celebrate birthdays by receiving a “Homework Pass” for the night and by dressing down. Your child may create a poster to share with the class. Some children may include a photo or a drawing of themselves, their families, pictures of things they like such as favorite colors, foods, toys, etc. They will share the poster with the class and it will be displayed on our bulletin board. KB has a stuffed bear named Buddy that will go home with one child every Friday. You write about your adventures with Buddy in his journal. Please return him to school on Monday. Saint Day: Beginning in October, each week the children will have the opportunity to create a poster about a Saint of their choice.
