First Grade Valentine’s Day Party

Tuesday, February 14th

Dear Families,

We are excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day in First Grade. We will decorate bags at school before Valentine’s Day. Valentine stickers are always a welcome donation.

We are asking for healthy snacks at the party. Some ideas are meat and cheese platters, cut up fruit and vegetables, crackers, cheese sticks, and juice. We also ask for plates, napkins, cups, and utensils. If you’d like to donate, please call or email so that we make sure we’re not doubling up or overdoing it on one item.

Here is a list of the kiddo’s names. Please make sure each student receives a Valentine.

The week is starting out cold.  Please make sure your kiddo has appropriate snow clothes for recess.  We have had very cold kiddos at recess and lots of tears.

Thursday, February 9 is a noon dismissal day.  Please make sure you have arranged a ride for your kiddo.  There is no school Friday, February 10 and Monday, February 13.  School resumes Tuesday, February 14.

Our Valentine's Day party will take place on February 14 in the afternoon.  So far we have plates, cups, napkins, utensils, chocolate dipped strawberries, and crackers.  Please email me if you are planning on sending something for our party.


I know it is early, but it is time to start thinking about all of our end of the year activities.  If you are planning on helping our with field day, our field trip, or any other activity please make sure you have completed the background check process.  Please contact Mrs. Z to start the background check process.

We will be starting Unit 4 in Wonders this week.  This unit is titled, Animals Everywhere.  This looks likes a very interesting and fun unit.  This week, we will be learning about how animal bodies help them.  In reading groups, we will be reading folktales about animals.

In math, we are continuing to work on 10+, 10-, 1+, 1-.  We will continue to work on adding within 100.

As many of you know, Mr. English has been deployed.  Mr. English flew over Bitterroot on his way to Texas.  It was so cool!

100th day of School with 100 year olds!
