Queenie quail and her babies too will be the focus in Zoophonics this week. You may hear your child talk about Queenies quality friend Umber umbrella bird. The concept of the letter /q/ and /u/ almost always being seen together is introduced in the form of a story about Umber helping Queenie and her babies in a storm, becoming quality friends, and spending lots of time together ever since.

they dont need to be wrapped. Please let me know if you need construction paper or a box. A list of the children in the class was sent home today on a pink sheet of paper.
The Pajama Drive ends Thursday, February 7. Pajamas in any size that you donate will benefit children in foster homes and/or shelters in Santa Clara County and Northern California. New books are also accepted. Please bring donations by Thursday. If you know of anyone looking for a kindergarten or Jr. K program for next school year, please welcome them to attend our free kindergarten screening on Saturday, Feb. 11. Interested parents can call the school office (578-4800) for more details. Your child will not need to attend since he or she completed the kindergarten assessment prior to the start of this school year.
