A Message from Mrs. Caudill
Happy Valentine's Day, Amerman Bobcat's. I loved seeing all the smiling faces today. You could feel the joy in the building. A HUGE thank you to all the parents that made today such a special day for our students.
I hope you take this long weekend to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Enjoy this extra long weekend with your family. I look forward to seeing everyone back, ready to learn on Wednesday, February 19.
Warmly,
Devon Caudill

Fun Fridays in February!
It is time for the last BOXTOPS submission 2019/2020.
By now your kid should have brought home a yellow flyer with a bag. It's very easy! Just cut your BOXTOPS, place them in the provided bag, write your kid's name and teacher on it and send them in! The class with the most BOXTOPS will win extra recess and popsicles with Mrs. Caudill.
Also, your kid's name will be entered in a drawing for a great bobcat prize.Please send your BOXTOPS by February 19th. You can also go to: http://www.boxtops4education.com/coupons and get coupons of your favorite products. (They change every month).
Important: BoxTops changed their Program. All participating brands changed the label over the summer. You still can clip and bring in “older” Labels but for the new ones you have to download the Boxtops app and scan the receipt!!! Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! Thank you so much for all your support !

February Focus- Kindness! Habit 5: Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood
Every month Amerman Focuses on a new theme and Leader in Me Habit of the Month. The focus for the month of February is kindness and our Habit of the Month is Habit 5: Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood.
Leader in Me sets out in Habit 5 to change the way we interact with people by changing the way that we listen to them. In order to reach a Win-Win situation with others, we must be able to see and understand their point of view. Habit 5 isn’t just about purely learning to listen to the other person though. It’s essentially the culmination of the techniques in the first 4 habits. These habits need to be in place and understood for you to be truly able to understand and then be understood.
If you would like to recognize your child for displaying kindness at home by using Habit 5, please fill out the following Bobcat Boost and return it to your child's teacher.
