We have been very busy getting everything ready for our Valentine's Day party. The mailboxes have been decorated, we've learned to cut hearts and the party food has started to arrive. Please join us on Monday from 1:30-2:15 as we celebrate the sweet friendships of Room 115. If you are going to check your child out after the party, please follow the procedures from the Christmas party. I must have a slip of paper from the office before releasing your child.
There will be no reading homework on Monday.
This week we are studying the letter "Bb" as in bee at the beach. The word wall words are big, run, what, my, by. I will be assessing all the word wall words from the beginning of the school year on Wednesday, March 2. This week's word wall words will be the final ones for this grading period.
Important notice: The school will be celebrating Read Across American Week on Feb. 28-March 4th. We will have a school wide character book parade on Thursday, March 3. Begin thinking of a character from your child's favorite book to dress up as. We will parade around the school and parents are invited to attend. It is a very precious parade. I do not have a definite time for the parade but I wanted to give you plenty of notice to create the perfect costume.
Project Groundhog update: We continue to record the daily high and low temperature for this North American project. For the first week of recording we had an average temperature of 48 degrees with three cloudy days and two rainy days. We noticed a pattern of warming temperatures but our theory of spring arriving soon was diminished by last Thursday and Friday's cold weather.
Be sure to send in your RSVP for Muffins for Moms. The RSVP was found on the front page of the Blount newsletter for February. Only one RSVP is needed per family. Muffins for Moms is Wednesday, February 23 and Thursday, February 24.
I will be assessing all phone numbers this Friday. Last week's poetry journal was a reminder to help your child learn his/her phone number. A check on addresses will be Friday, February 25.
No school on Monday, February 21 in honor of President's Day.
