Good Afternoon & Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Thank you again for joining us for
our incredible Wedding of Q & U on Friday. I am truly SO proud of our class
for doing such a great job and so thankful for all the help and support from
families to make it such a memorable day.
It is hard to believe that February is already almost over and we are moving
into March already! We have many more exciting events to look forward to. :)
Please read below for some important info about the week/month ahead:
1) Our “Lucky Family Shamrock” project is being sent home today in
homework folders. Please help your child decorate this shamrock with
pictures/drawings, words, and decor about your family and return it to
school by Monday, March 6th. Please see below for my family shamrock as
an example- it can be cut & pasted onto a bigger piece of paper if that is
easier to decorate, similarly to what I did as well. I cannot wait to see &
share all these amazing shamrocks on display in our hallway next week. :)
2) Reading folders went home today with our new spelling words (short e
this week- test Friday) and practice sheets for popcorn words & addition
