Good Afternoon!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to this beautiful week.
We have a lot of exciting events coming up this week & next, please see
below for important information.
1) Tomorrow we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with a small class party
(our big celebration will be next Friday with the Wedding of Q & U).
Students must bring in their secret valentine’s project that was sent
home last Monday tomorrow. They may also bring their own valentines to
distribute amongst friends (we have 26 students in total). As per school
policy, all valentine goodies must be NON-food.
2) Tomorrow is also a TAG day, the theme is Valentine’s (red, white, pink).
Please send in the $1 tag donation LABELED TAG DAY in folders tomorrow
if your child is dressing down.
3) Today we have officially started our first SPELLING unit! We are VERY
excited! Attached to our weekly homework you will see the list of our 5
spelling words, along with the practice sheet to complete this week. Each
week will focus on a similar sound/vowel pattern, and it will increasingly get
more challenging as we progress. We will take our first spelling test on
Friday and it will be sent home to be signed & returned as well.
4) A letter went home last week regarding the Protecting God’s Children
Safe Touch lesson (age appropriate lesson, stranger danger, etc.) that will
be conducted next week. If you would like to opt-out your child from this
lesson, please return the completed form no later than this
Thursday, 2/16.
