Please note...
- It is hard to believe January is almost over. That means Valentine's Day is right around the corner. We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Friday, February 12th. Please have your child bring in a decorated box or bag for Valentine's Day. Please also make sure they have their name written clearly on the front so that other students can read it easily when delivering valentines. There will not be a party, but we will have a snack and spend time opening valentine cards. Please also remember that due to the District Five Snack Policy, we cannot give out candy to students, so please do not include any type of candy in the valentine cards. Click here for a student list of names for our class.
- Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. Our recess time is 9:50, so it is still pretty cold when we go out. Please also make sure your child's coat, gloves, scarves and hats are labeled with both their first and last name.

- This week we will continue to discuss cental idea and supporting details.
- In writing, we will begin writing snow poetry, and will use figurative language (adjectives, similes, metaphors and personification).

There will be an addition fact test Thursday of this week. Please continue to help your child study for these tests.
