Parents,
Hope everyone had a fun, fabulous, football weekend!!!
It feels like we have a TON of things going on before we go off track. Let’s see if we can SSSQQQUUUEEEEEEEZZZEEE it all in!!!
Things to note:
· Ms. Janssen and I loved seeing those of you who attended our Winterfest! It was a fun time! Thanks for coming!!
· “Fleecing for Friends” is here!!! It is time for our annual blanket-making party. Every year, all our classes gather to make blankets for kiddos who have found themselves in “Kids Kottage.” It is our way of giving to those kiddos who may not have all the warmth and love that your kiddo has! If you can, please donate one and a half (1 ½) yard pieces of uncut fleece. You may bring a matching solid and print or just a solid or just a print. Thank you in advance! We will be tying blankets on Wednesday, February 13th. Please bring your fleece in prior to this day so they can be prepped and ready for the kiddos to tie.
· I am looking for a parent (or two or three) to help with the prepping of “Fleecing for Friends” blankets. If you would like to come in and prep, I can show you how to do it. Or if you can help do the prepping from home, that would be okay too! I can send directions home with the fleece, you can be prep at your house and then send prepped material back to school. Please let me know if you are willing and able!!!! Thank you!!
· I am also looking for parents who might want to come in and help during the blanket party. We will be pairing up with Mrs. Retzer’s fifth grade for the tying…but having parents that could check all the work would be fabulous. Let me know!
· Our Valentine’s Day party is coming up on Thursday, February 14th. Every student needs to have a store-bought or home-made valentine for every member of our class. Let me know if you need another class list to address them. Also, your child can bring their completed Valentine’s to school any time before our party. I will keep them safe and give them to your child to pass out at our party on the 14th.
· I have had many parents sign-up to help with the Valentine’s Party but no one sign up to organize it…so, I will put a little something together and let those parents who signed up know how I can use their help! If you signed up or are willing to help, let me know and I will touch base with you.
· Classroom Address List has been updated and will be coming home! =)
· Are you interested in getting a track-off packet for your kiddo for our March break?? Let me know!
