Notes from Ms. Rau
- Valentine's Day Celebration - Our party will be Thursday, February 14th from 9:30-10:30. Students will decorate paper bags to hold their valentines in class. We will pass out valentine cards at the end of our party. When filling out valentines cards please do not write a name in the TO section. Please only have your student write their name in the from section. This makes passing out valentines cards much quicker. We have 25 students in our class :)
- Valentines Day Read In - On 2/14 please bring in a small stuffed animal that fits inside your backpack. We will have a read in with Ms. Weaver's class in the afternoon!

"Missing Partner" Game

Working in our rug clubs in phonics being "word builders."
