I want to remind you that this coming week is not only the week before spring break, which I'm sure you all know, but that it is also the week we will be taking the OAKS Reading test. Our times in the computer lab to test are Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Please make sure kids are well rested and have a hearty breakfast and lunch!

Thank you

Class Garden Underway!

Our class garden is underway!
Today students had the opportunity, thanks to Anthony and Diana (Christopher's parents), to explore the concepts of soil nutrients and what is involved in planting and growing a garden.
Over the next couple months we will be growing snap peas, lettuce and radishes. We will grow the vegetables both in our garden bed and in the classroom and observe the differences.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching!
If you are able and interested in helping with a class party please let me know (also looking for someone or a few to head this simple event). Typically we take the last the last 45min of school and do a simple party with treats, a couple simple games or activities and the traditional passing out of cards. A complete class list will go home with your child this Friday. Valentine cards are not required but if your child does bring a card I ask that they have one for every student in the class.

Wanted: Reading Group Facilitators

Are you wondering how to get involved in the classroom? Has the new year opened up your Wednesday 12:30-1:30 time slot?

If so I am looking for a couple more people to help with reading groups. I've lost some help due to adjusted work schedules and with that groups have become somewhat large or have had to work independently without an adult leader. We're making this work but it would be nice to have assistance for all groups without having to make the groups too large.

If you are available and interested in being a reading group facilitator on Wednesdays from 12:30-1:30 please send me an email. Thank you!
