Thank you for all the goodies and treats sent in for Valentine’s Day.  We had a wonderful class party!

Allergies

Just a reminder that we have allergies in our classroom.  Please do not send nuts (peanuts AND all other nuts), fish or seafood in your child’s snacks or lunch.  If there are any changes to your child’s allergies please let me know.

100 Day Celebration

Students need to plan a “100 collection” for Thursday, February 18th.  They can choose anything creative: a poster with 100 objects, a t-shirt with 100 buttons, a collection of items, etc.  The items could be sorted into groups.  The only rule is BE CREATIVE!

Let’s hope the Groundhog was wrong about those six weeks of winter.  The slowly rising temperature is definitely a nice change from the bitter cold January days.  Thank you for your support and donations on Hats for Haiti day.  The kids were very excited to share their hats with each other and support a good cause.

Valentine’s Day

We will have a Valentine party on the afternoon of Friday, February 12th.  Students are welcome to bring finger food snacks to share with their friends (no nuts).  Students may bring a drink for themselves, but please do not send large bottles of juice or pop.  If students choose to bring Valentine cards they should bring one for everyone in the class to help build a sense of community.  Following is a list of the students in our class:
