Dear
Families,
How did it
get to be time to talk about Valentine’s
Day already? Time goes by quickly…! We would
love to have a Valentine’s Day
Card Exchange and Party on Thursday
February 11th.
Decorative cards and small sweet treats are welcomed and encouraged. Please find the enclosed list of class
names to help when making the cards. (on
the backside of the assignment sheet…) In
addition, we will also have a batch of homemade cupcakes (thanks to Ollie’s mom!) but perhaps a big bowl of orange slices and red
plates would make for
a great party. Please contact me
directly if interested. And as
always, thank you!
We have had
a busy week planning and preparing for our Spirit
Week… thanks to Ginnifer and
Lizzie’s persuasive writing! Yup… they talked Mr. Foster into it. We also will
be starting weekly Reading Buddies with a first grade class, thanks to Lilly’s
persuasive writing! Well-done
girls!! Be sure to get the scoop from your
kiddo… And we have now officially moved on to our new unit of writing “Information Writing” Stay tuned…
Our read
aloud book has us laughing aloud.
The BFG (ask your child what that stands for J) has a very funny vocabulary and a rather
peculiar way with words.
Lastly, please
note there is no school on Friday 2/13.
This will be our last family letter until after our February break. I wish you a great week off from
school, red folders and homework. But
please consider playing a few multiplication fact math games along the way. Every bit helps. Enjoy time with your family…!
Warm Regards,
