News for week of 1-22

Announcements:
  • Our Valentines Day Party will be Wednesday, February 14th in the morning. More details to come next week on the exact time for the celebration. We have 23 students in our class. If you are purchasing valentine cards for each student please leave the TO line blank and only have your child write their name in the FROM line. This makes passing out valentine cards much easier on the day of our party. Thank you! 
  • SNOW GEAR - Please have your students bring in a separate bag for snow gear (let me know if you need one). It is too much to put in their backpack. Please label snow pants AND boots and make sure to send in shoes to wear in the classroom as we keep the boots outside of our classroom. I will be sure to communicate with specials teachers to make sure students have on their coats, hats, gloves, and boots when leaving their classroom at the end of the day.
