-In order to continue to be able to send leveled readers home, please make sure your child returns their book the next day. 

Our Valentine's Day party will be on February 13th at 1:30. This is a low key party, but a favorite with the kids. We'll have a  sweet treat and exchange cards.  Students may bring in a homemade box to collect their cards in. This can be a fun and creative project at home.  You can use an empty shoe box, cereal box, oatmeal container, etc. for your child’s box. I will have plain bags if your child does not participate.  Please bring completed boxes  to school on Friday, February 13^th.

I  will send a class list home in your child's yellow folder today. Please have your child write their name and classmates' names on the cards.  Please send in completed cards with your child's box on the 13th. 

Also, if you haven't done so yet, please sign up to bring an ice cream topping!

Can your child tie his or her shoes? If not, it's important to start/continue practicing this skill until they master it. This will help them gain independence. Check out these websites for shoe tying tips.
