February 1st

Wow it is already February!!  This is always a very busy month.

Science World was a big success!  Thanks to everyone who joined us for Science World, we really appreciate your time and wouldn't be able to take these trips without your help.   Everyone seemed to have a great day as you can see from these photos.  Parents if you have some great pictures of our adventures at Science World please send them to me.  Thanks!

Club RED information came home on Wednesday. The goal is for students to READ EVERY DAY in the month of February (although you do have 5 free spaces if needed as we realize that life gets busy).  Please keep your calendar visible and parents should initial the date each day your child reads.

Valentine's is just around the corner and I know some families like to start their valentines early so below is a list of all the students.   Please ensure if your child is handing out valentines that they make one for every member of the class so that no one feels left out.  Thanks!

Cam                        Janelle                    Liberty
Charlie                    Lexi                       Kamryn

We will have our Valentine's Celebration on Wednesday, Feb. 13th.  Thanks in advance to the following families for providing our snacks and goodies.   Zach - fruit tray, Hallie - sweet treats,
Popcorn/pretzels or chips - Summer, Other - Janelle

We started our new unit on the body and nutrition.  If any of you work in these fields and would like to come and talk to the students please contact me and we will make the arrangements.

For extra fun spelling practice students can go to the Spelling City link on this blog (they are organized into lessons, but if your child has yellow sheets they say purple as that was the colour it was last year).  A great way to practice these phonetic patterns and even little spelling tests.

Candy grams went home on Friday.  Please return by Feb. 10th.

I have updated the blog's calendar for February.

Next Friday is flashlight reading.  Students should bring flashlights from home to read in the dark with different buddies in the school.  Pajama Day and hallway reading was lots of fun today!
