Love is in the air!!

Thank you to all the parents who were able to donate their time on the 100th Day of School, and for Valentine's Day!! Thank you, also, to all of you who were able to donate snacks for the 100th Day Celebration, and monetary donations for Valentine's Day and the Silent Auction fund raiser.

The 100th Day Celebration was a great success! The students had a blast traveling from station to station, learning with their friends from another class, and especially making their 100th Day Trail Mix. Special thanks to Mrs. Lizik for organizing the Valentine's Day Party and for all the yummy treats!

Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up again! Monday, March 2nd and Tuesday, March 3rd have been set aside for this purpose.

We will be wrapping up our measurement unit this coming week, and reviewing computation skills. I plan to do a small unit on coordinate graphing the week of March 2nd. I think the students will have a lot of fun with this topic!!

Please remember that the Economic Concept Posters are due in March if your son/daughter would like to enter the contest. If you would like me to resend the information, please let me know!

We started exploring for words with prefixes "re" "pre" and "un" today! The class came up with QUITE a few VERY challenging words that they selected for next week's spelling list. The list will be available on Spelling City by the end of the day.

Coming up on Friday, March 6th we will be having a special guest speaking to us about Children's Dental Health - and she just so happens to be my mom! She has come in to my classrooms in the past and done a wonderful job with the students. Last year, she even brought in a picture of me when I was in first grade!! Embarrassing for me, hilarious for the kids!

Enjoy the three day weekend, and as always, thank you so much for all your help and support! Stay safe & happy Valentine's Day!
