We have a 4-day week ahead - short but FUN!! Because we have no school on Feb. 14th, we will be having our class party on Feb. 13th. Please remember your child can start to bring in their decorated Valentine box and Valentines to pass out starting on Monday!
Please keep remembering to read, read, read with your child at home and record the minutes you read on the February Calendar. Please return the sheet every Friday (or Thursdays, if there is no school on Fridays) so we can tally up our total minutes as a class! (I will be sure to send those calendars back home that same day, so you can continue to keep track of your minutes).
Please be sure to check your child's Friday Folder for some information about our All-School Read-A-Thon, an update about Think Central, which are computer math games your child can do from home and a special project you will want to prepare for the 100th day of Kindergarten!!
I'm looking forward to a great week ahead!
