Teacher Appreciation Week Is This Week
Thank you all for being so supportive of me this year! I am very blessed to have such a great class of students and parents. :)
We are getting a Winthrop Intern!
Starting today, Ms. Quay from Winthrop University will be joining our class two days a week as our Winthrop intern. She will be assisting me in class and working one-on-one with the students. We are very excited for her to be joining us!
Valentine Exchange on February 12th
I will send a roster home on Wednesday if your child would like to make Valentines for Friday the 12th. We will be decorating bags to use as "mailboxes" in class.
Other Information:
- It's that time of year! Strep and Flu season!! To avoid students getting sick, I am encouraging students to wash hands and use hand sanitizer as much as possible. We could also ALWAYS use more Clorox wipes because I'm having students wipe down desks, tables, and handles daily. We want students at school as much as possible, but if your child is running a fever, please keep them at home and know that we will get them caught up as soon as they are feeling better. Thanks!
- Due to snow makeup, we DO have school on February 12th.
- We do NOT have school, however, on February 15th, which is President's Day.
- I am giving students an opportunity for extra credit in science this unit. They can complete a moon phases calendar (given today) and return it on March 1st for bonus points on their unit test. They can either draw the phases or write the name for each day of the month. I told them they could look outside to see the phase or use a website to see what the phase is each night. Here is a great link: http://www.webexhibits.org/calendars/moon.html?day=18&month=2&year=2016. There are many others on the internet they can use too.
