Ground Hog Day is February 2 We will be making predictions on whether or not the Ground Hog will see his shadow. What do you think?
Februaary 14 is Valentines Day There will be Valentine parties in each class. Individual teachers will let you know more details.

We are starting a new month. Students should be reading 30 or more minutes 5 or more days a week. Please have your child read 10 of those minutes outloud to help them with fluency.

January 2012
Welcome back to school after a great holiday.
SEP conferences were held on January 12th. If you did not get to visit with your child's teacher, please call and make an appointment. We would love to visit with you.
This month students are working on Great Brain Reports about the Arctic and Antarctic Regions. Check with your students teacher to see when they are going
to start giving reports in their own class.
February's Great Brain Reports will be about Famous People we know or want to know more about. Students are doing a great job on sharing their information with the class. We are learning a lot of new facts in the Great Brain Reports.
The week of January 23-27 will be the Penny War. This is a war to bring in all the extra change you have at home and see which class can collect the most money to help others. The money will all be donated to a charity that the student council has chosen.
Start thinking about the talent show. It will be held in April. Students will perform before their own grades and voting will take place in each grade. Winners will perform before the whole school. Start practicing and getting ready. More information will be sent home in March.
Parents if your student has lost their coat is is probably at school. Check our lost and found. Most of the items don't have labels on them.
Have a great month- what is left of it. Enjoy not having to shovel snow so far this year.
