Important Notes:
Thank you for sending in the recycled material! I felt like we needed more so I postponed the project to next Friday. So continue to send in your "stuff".
Peggy, the Garden Lady needs cardboard milk and juice cartons for a project. The children will be planting seeds and then will hang the cartons on the fence. Be sure to rinse the containers before sending them to school.
- I will be sending home the class list for Valentines Day. Each child should have a card for each child in the class if they are going to participate. I encourage each child to make their own cards. It is more meaningful if home made!!
- In preparation for MAPS testing, we found a new website for children to practice "scrolling and dragging". The site is ABCya.com. Check it out!
We are in need of prizes for the treasure chest.
Upcoming Events:
- MAP Testing January 26th and January 30th
-January 28th- jog -a -thon at lunchtime. Pledge forms will go home in Wed. envelope.
Sincerely,
Sharon O'Brien
