Week of February 14th

Welcome to a great week! Valentine's Day was really fun, thank you for helping your student make all of those valentines.
We have had a parent generously offer to donate a DVD player to our classroom. Thank you so much for this help, I appreciate all of your help and support. If anyone is able to donate a pencil sharpener to our classroom we are still in need. There is a great one at Cosco with a lifetime warranty!
If your child is feeling sick or has a fever please keep them home for the day. We want everyone to be as healthy as possible! To stay that way please remember to cover your mouth when you sneeze and cough, and wash your hands after using the bathroom.
In class this week we will be learning the letter Y and working on finishing up our Valentine’s Day unit and starting our President’s Day unit. We are also starting to work on addition problems, learning to add two numbers together. We are using manipulatives in class so please feel free to use them at home with the homework. Something small like marbles or game tokens works well.
I am happy to see that so many students are practicing their writing and filling out their reading logs on their own. Please keep turning those reading logs in, I love to see what you are reading!
On Wednesday, February 23rd, we will be having Grandparents’ Day at school. We would love for as many grandparents to come as possible. That day we will be doing a rodeo out on the basketball courts which should be a rootin’, tootin’ good time! Grandparents are invited to our rodeo starting at 9:30 and then we will have lunch right after. Please meet us at 9:30 for a fun-filled day!
