100th Day of School:
Our 100th day of school will be on Tuesday!  Thanks for helping out "last minute" and signing up to bring some items. We will be doing a lot of fun activities that day. Don't forget to have your child wear their 100 day t-shirt.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  

Guided Reading Folders:
Everyone did a great job bringing their folders back and forth this week.  We will continue with this routine.  .   THESE BOOKS ARE NOT TO BE PLACED IN YOUR CHILD'S BOOK BOX AT HOME.  THEY BELONG TO MYSELF OR CRAM.  PLEASE RETURN THEM IN THE GUIDED READING FOLDER THE FOLLOWING DAY. Please understand that if your child does not return the folder with the book, I will not be sending a new book until it is returned.  I understand that sometimes books can get lost.  Books belonging to Cram will cost $10 if lost or damaged.  Please help your child be responsible and return the books daily.  

Valentines Day:
We will be celebrating Valentines Day on February 14th.  We will have Valentine centers from 12:00 to 1:50.  Please let me know if you are able to volunteer this day.  Students will be passing out valentines if they'd like.  Please follow the following directions if choosing to send valentines with your child:

1.  DO NOT address the valentines with any names.  This makes passing them out MUCH easier.

2.  If sending Valentines, send one for every students who celebrates Valentine's Day.  There will be 21 students celebrating Valentines Day.

3.  Do not send valentines with candy.  You may pass out valentines with trinkets but not with candy please.

Thanks for helping to make Valentine's Day fun and run smoothly in our classroom!
