It is almost Valentines Day. That means it is time for your little cherubs to fill out Valentines cards for this fun day. I encourage you to have your child write the names of their classmates on each card. Now is a good time to start so they can take a break when their little hands get tired. You may bring the Valentine cards any time between February 4 and the 12th. Here is a list of students and teachers:
Ciera Ethan Jeremy Mia Dillian Cesar Brayden Talyssa Nathan Dylan Molly Tira Chloey Carter Caimon Anna Sophie Joseph Lucy Thomas Taylor Grandma Barb Mr. English Miss Laryssa Mrs. Martin
Since Valentine’s Day is full of sweets, I would love for our class to have some healthy snacks (cheese and crackers, veggie and fruit tray, juice boxes, etc.) as part of our party. Please email me if you would like to contribute. We will also need paper plates and napkins. Please, please, please do not bring any extra sweets like cupcakes or cookies!
The read-a-thon continues through this week. As of Friday, our class has read 3033 minutes! WOW! Keep up the great work!
Wishing you well!

We started the 3rd quarter last week. We are off and running. In math we have started working with 10's and 1's. I added some more math sites so your kids can practice. Please make sure to also continue Xtra math. I can really see a difference with the kids that are practicing it on a regular basis.
100's day will be next Monday. Remember to bring your 100 items in a quart sized ziploc bag for our 100 day stew.
From the PTA
Read-A-Thon:
The theme this year is Bananas about Reading.
There will be four age groups within which children will be competing for prizes: K, 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6.
Coupons to business/restaurants will be given out as students reach reading goals: K and 1-2: will receive a coupon for every hour they read, 3-4 and 5-6: will receive a coupon for every 2 hours they read
Prizes will be awarded to the top four readers in each age group.
The prizes will consist of books, a bag and audio books
The grand prize for K and 1-2 will be iPod nanos
The grand prize for 3-4 and 5-6 will be kindles
Banana Split Parties will be awarded to:
The class in each age group with the most total hours
The class with the highest percentage of students participating in the Read-A-Thon
The class with the highest number of pledges (not necessarily the most money collected).
If the school reaches 50,000 minutes: Mr. English will dress up in a Banana Suit for a day.
If the school reaches 100,000 minutes: Mr. English will become a banana split where students who participated squirt whipped cream and chocolate, strawberry and caramel syrup on him. The whole school will also receive and extra 30 minutes of gym time.
We will attempt to make a video to kick off the Read-A-Thon, otherwise an assembly will be held.
We would appreciate donations of 3-6th grade level books to use for prizes. We would also appreciate it if anyone would be willing to donate spray cans of whipped cream or chocolate, strawberry or caramel syrup.
Wishing you well!
