Dear Parents,
THIS WEEK WE: studied about Missouri. We made a special poster to record facts learned about Missouri. By the end of the week, it was our goal to be able to recognize the shape of Missouri and know something about landforms (mountain, valley, river etc. In addition, I hope they will be able to tell you the state bird, the state insect, and other state symbols. Our Valentine party was today! Thank you to all the parents involved in making it a special event for our class! :)
NEXT WEEK WE WILL: talk about the community helpers at our post office. We will recognize their hard work 6 days a week getting the mail delivered all over our country. My dad worked as a substitute mailman so I have fond memories of getting to go with dad on his rural route and trying to quickly stuff the mail in the boxes. If I was really good, he would buy me a coke. Those were the days!
