Dear Parents,
THIS WEEK WE: talked about the impact Martin Luther King, Jr. had on our country today. They seemed to be very interested in why people were so mistreated. We are doing a lot of writing! Composing a story means you need to put events in an order and write what happened first, next and last. We did that with a couple projects this week. They did an awesome job!
NEXT WEEK WE WILL: celebrate the 100th day of school. We have been counting up to 100 and looking forward to getting to 100 since the beginning of school. Please send a ziplock bag with 100 of something next Monday. It can be 100 paper clips, 100 cheerios, 100 pieces of candy, (we won’t eat it! At least we will try not to! :), 100 nails, 100 stickers. We will compare by weighing, sorting and classifying them into categories throughout the week. The official 100th day of school will be next Tuesday. We will have fun 100 ways!
PARENT CONFERENCES: Feb. 9th and 11th. We will have a traditional conference. Attached is a sheet with time slots. It will be first come first serve. Just fill out the time that best fits your schedule and return to me. I will try to honor the time you select as closely as I can. I will send a confirmation to you by the end of next week. Thank you.
VALENTINE DAY PARTY:
Our PTA moms will be hosting a party for our classroom on Friday, Feb. 5th. I don’t know a lot of detail yet but I understand it will have a 50’s theme! If your child wants to make a special container to put their valentines in, please be working on that at home. Use your imagination and each child will have a very unique container! Send to school sometime during the week of Feb.1st. Below is a list of children’s names in our class. They can address valentines to their classmates and deliver them before the party on Feb. 5th!
