Happy Monday!
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Tuesday, February 14th we will have our class Valentine's Day parties. Class lists were sent home in orange folders on Thursday. Your child does not have to bring cards for classmates, but if he/she chooses to bring cards, a card must be sent for every student in the class. In orange folders this week, we will be sending home a paper sack for your child to decorate. Students should return their sacks to school on Monday.
Please see below for important dates, learning targets, and spelling words.
