Parents,
As I write this, I am a little perplexed to think how January has come and gone so quickly!!?? One more month until we track off!!?? How could that be??? Let’s work really hard and really push ourselves before we track off!!
Things to note:
- The school-wide book fair begins on Thursday! You may choose to shop with your child before or after school any day during the book fair. Also, on our library day (Thursday) you may send money in with your first grader. Mrs. P., myself, or other parent volunteers will help them to choose books within their price range. Please, however, don’t feel obligated in send in money. Students are often, just as entertained, to look through all the choices, and then touch base with you when they come home to let you know what they had their eyes on!! You could plan to come back another day to shop WITH them! Let me know if you have any questions.
- Our music teacher, Mrs. McKinnon has scheduled our music program! Please put it on your calendar! Wednesday, February 29th, our class, along with Miss Graham’s class will be performing on the stage at 2:00. Come grab a seat in the lunch room. Your first grader has been practicing hard and they are extremely cute! Should be fun to watch!!!!!! As a request from Mrs. McKinnon, please encourage your child to wear nice clothes on the day of our performance.
- Notices for Valentine Grams came home today. Fill out gram, with message, student name and teacher, send in $1.00 for each gram, and on Valentine’s Day, a smelly Smencil and your V-Day message will be delivered to the recipient of your choice!
- Please look for attached Valentine’s Day party information. Student Valentines can be filled out and brought to school any time before our party on Tuesday, February 14th. Big thanks to those parents who are able to send in supplies! =)
- As I prepare for tracking off, I will be preparing a track-off packet for each child in our class (because everyone chose to have one last time—Great job, Brainiacs!!). Rewards will be similar to last track off month. Please know that students are not required to finish the packet…any work that is completed is awesome!! If you know that you or your child are not interested in receiving a packet for the break, please let me know, otherwise, I will plan to make one for them. Packets will come home the week we are tracking off.
