February 6, 2015 Newsletter

Dear Parents,

We had another short week but it was still pretty busy.  We were very disappointed that we didn’t get to go to the Aquarium on Wednesday but are looking forward to going this coming Wednesday.  Students will need a bagged lunch and disposable drink.  Chaperones should arrive by 8:30am.  It’s not too late to volunteer to be a chaperone!  Due to the change in days, we don’t have many chaperones.  If you are interested and have completed a CORI already, please let me know as soon as possible.

The students have started learning about our five senses and will continue writing about them next week.  We have also been working more with rhyming and word families.  The students finished their “House for Hermit Crab” books and read them to the class.  I hope you enjoyed hearing your child read it to you at home!

Our 100th day of school will be on Friday, February 27th, unless we have another snow day before then.  We will be celebrating the 100th day next week, though, with the rest of the school.  On Tuesday, students are welcome to dress/talk like a pirate as we celebrate.  We have some fun 100th day activities we will do that day.

We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Friday, February 13th.  Students are welcome to bring an extra snack to eat while we open our valentines.  Just a reminder...valentines need to be food/candy free.  Stickers, tattoos, pencils, etc. make nice alternatives.  Students are welcome to bring their valentines in any time next week.

Don’t forget to send warm, winter clothes each day for recess.  Students are not able to stay inside if the rest of the class goes outside.  They are also not allowed to play in the snow without snowpants and boots.

Another reminder:  February vacation will be February 16-20.

Please don’t forget to return the blue progress report folder and the parent conference questionnaire.

Have a great weekend!

Melanie Duncan and Kerry Marsh
