Important Announcements:
*I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe
Valentine’s Day! I enjoyed spending my
day with 24 of the most fun and sweet Valentines! Our Valentine’s Day party was a lot of
fun! A special thanks to our room mom,
Mrs. Fought, for organizing a wonderful party!
I would also like to thank all of the parents that were able to donate
and attend the party! It always means so
much to the kids, and each of you helped to make their day special. Thanks so much!
*Come Play with Me will take place on
Monday, February 24th 2:10 – 2:55.
It is a time where parents are invited to come to gym class with your
child. A criminal history check
must be on file and no siblings are allowed to attend. Hope you can make it!
*Spring Fling will take place on Friday, March 7th. Our class will be collecting school supplies
to make into a basket that will be part of the silent auction. If you would like to donate items such as:
pencils, pens, markers, colored pencils, notebooks, folders, dry erase markers,
or any other school supplies, we would love to have them! If your child donates, he/she will get tickets
to spend at the Spring Fling. The Spring
Fling will also take donations of: bags of candy, 2-liters of soda, and baked
goods. The Spring Fling also needs
volunteers! If you would like to

a character education lesson to the class on Friday, February 21st. The lesson will take place from 9:00 –

*Our reading competition is well on its
way! If your child reads or listens to a
book (either at school or at home), and it has a reading counts quiz on it,
he/she can take the quiz during reading stations. The books that are in the database (and many
books are) have assigned point values. If
your child passes the test, he/she will get a sticker for every point the book
has to put on his/her sticker chart.
When your child fills one sticker chart, he / she will earn a
token. When your child fills the second
sticker chart, he/she will be invited to a special pizza party with Miss
Whisman. Your child will have until Spring
Break to complete this reading challenge!
