February 12 - 16

                                                          

Valentine's Day/Kindness Party: Our last party of the year will be on Wednesday, February 14th from 2:00-3:00. Here is a signup for the party if you'd like to help. Students may bring in valentine cards for the class, but they need to bring one for everyone. There are 23 kids in our class. Here is a list of names if you would like to personalize them. Students may bring a decorated box to put the cards in, but it is not necessary and there will not be a contest. I will have bags for anyone in need of a place for cards. 

Spring Conferences: We are almost finished updating our conference slides for spring. They will look very similar to the fall conference slides. The week of the 19th, I will email your child's slides to you. This way your child can go over his/her growth and the new goals set for the next trimester at your convenience from home. Spring conferences are only required for those below grade level who need more help. If you would like to have a conference, please sign up for a time here. Remember your child should be present to lead the conference. Thanks! 

Math: Last week, we completed unit 5/lessons 7-11. This week, we will work on lessons 12-16. Extra practice at home using the IXL textbook will be helpful to reinforce these essential standards, especially for those who struggle. Additional IM resources(the workbook we use) can be found HERE.

Shoes & Boots: Due to the mud, snow, and wet conditions, students need to bring boots and a pair of shoes to school to change into after recess. An extra pair of socks and gloves would also be helpful! Thanks for your help with this!
