WOW! A second winter break...

Hi Parents and Guardians,

Well it looks like we were in store for a second winter break! Although the week (plus a few extra days) off was nice, we are unfortunately a little behind in our preparations for MSA. The MSA begins on March 9th, which means we have about 3 weeks left of learning to prepare. It is extremely important that your child be here everyday until then in order learn all of the necessary material in reading and math. Please work hard at getting your child to school every day.

Our Valentine's Day party will be this Friday, February 19th. Please DO NOT send your child with any food. I will provide all of the food because I plan to keep it small. In today's Tuesday folder, you will find a pink packet that discusses information about the party. The children should decorate a shoe box, coffee can, or other type of box and bring it in to be used as a Valentine's mailbox. Please read over all of the information in the pink packet. There is also a list of students' names in the class. If you decide to have your child send in Valentine's Day cards, please be sure to have a card for each student in the class.

I know I am a little behind in my posts. I have some pictures of activities that we've been doing in class that I will be posting sometime this week. Please be on the lookout for these!

Hope you enjoyed the week of snow!

Ms. Van Sickle
