VALENTINE'S CELEBRATION INFORMATION
If your child would like to bring friendship/Valentine cards to their classmates, please make sure they are bringing one per classmate. If they are attaching a treat, it needs to be store bought. The cards need to be brought into the classroom BY FEBRUARY 10TH.
On February 12th, your child will be receiving their cards, but will not open the cards or treats until they get home. If your child would like to bring a decorated box or bag, they can! If they do not want to bring in one from home, we will have plain, white bags that they can put their name on and decorate on the 12th.
The 3rd Grade Kindness Activity we will be completing is creating a kindness rock. Please have your child find a rock these next few days that would be perfect to paint and write a message on. When they find their rock, have them bring it into the classroom. They need to bring in a rock BY FEBRUARY 11th. We will make these on the 11th and 12th. Your child will then take them home with them and find a great spot in the community to place them.
If you have any specific questions, please email your child's teacher.
STUDENT HOLIDAY ON FEBRUARY 15th.
