Postcards
Our class is participating in a postcard exchange with classes in other states. We have already received a few from other states! It's so exciting to get real mail! If you are out and about and see postcards affiliated with Indiana, we would love it if you could purchase a few for the exchange. We would like to complete our part of the exchange by the end of the month. Thanks in advance for your help!
Valentine's Day Party
Mrs. Melliere is doing an excellent job planning our Valentine's Day party. She has respectfully requested if each child could bring in $1, she will take care of the rest in regards to the Valentine's Day boxes. No need to make these at home. We will do them during the party. Also, if you would like to volunteer, please send me an email letting me know. The party will take place on Valentine's Day from 1:00-2:00.
Valentine's Day
We look forward to celebrating Valentine's Day with our students at their classroom parties on Thursday, February 14th. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to emphasize the lifeskill of friendship with all of our students. As you are out shopping for Valentines, please select cards and/or trinkets that are inedible. This could include pencils, erasers, stickers, etc. Candy will not be distributed. Thank you for ensuring that all students can have a safe and fun celebration.
