Hi Parents!
What a week it’s been! I am so pleased to say that we have wrapped up our unit on Multiplication and Division! I was so pleased with how the students did on the test! We will build on those skills as we move into factors and multiples next week.
Sub next Friday
I wanted to give you a heads up that I will be taking a personal day on Friday, February 18th. I am going to take advantage of the long weekend and head to Las Vegas. Mrs. Combs will be the sub and the students already know her well! I will let the students know this week that I will be out.
Valentine’s Day
We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Monday, February 14th. We will take the afternoon to pass out our valentines, watch a Valentine’s show and do some fun Valentine’s activities. If your student chooses to participate in the Valentine exchange, please make sure that they bring in a valentine for everyone. We will make Valentine bags to put them in, but if your child wants to bring in a box or something from home to use, that is fine. I have sent a class list home with your child on Wednesday.
Treasure Box
I am sure you have heard that we have a class treasure box! The students can earn a trip here by taking their time on their work, going above and beyond, or are caught showing the 3R’s by a teacher. However, our class treasure box is running low on goodies! If you have any small party favors or treasure box type goodies laying around, please consider donating them to our class treasure box. Most of the stuff in there I often get from The Dollar Store, Target Dollar Spot and Amazon, so it doesn’t have to be anything too elaborate. The kids are so grateful to just get to pick something!
New Supplies
It’s hard to believe, but we have made it to the halfway point in the year! Please talk to your child and see if they need any new supplies. We have gone through quite a bit of our supply stockpile. We recently had to have a conversation as a whole about being responsible for our own things like glue sticks, pencils and crayons. Many students need new scissors, crayons, and markers. Please speak to your child and see if they are in need of anything. If so, could you please send those in with your child on Monday. If you are unable to, please reach out to me and I will make arrangements to get whatever supplies your child needs.
Free Supper and Snack
Please see the note below from Principal Smith
Dear Families,
