Please study at home as well! Now that there are three sentences, tests will be harder!

Thanks to all of the students who did their 100th day projects! They turned out great! We'll keep them on display for another week or so and then send them home.

Book orders- Book orders were sent home today. Send in a check or money order to Scholastic Inc with your order from the flyer or order online. Deadline for ordering is Feb. 9th.

Spelling and 100th Day

Spelling this week will be another review. The words are: you, of, want, this, that, think, bring, with, what, drink, like, help.

Sentences: I want a drink of milk. Did you bring that with you?

100th Day Projects: Projects are due this Thursday, the 20th. Glue 100 items on a poster and bring it to class. Make a picture, design, or pattern, just have fun with it and be creative! Our celebration will be Monday, the 24th. If your project is turned in, you can wear your pajamas to school that day for our festivities!

What's new this year!

Happy New Year! Just a quick note about some new happenings this week...

Earlier this week re-enrollment papers went home. Please complete the form and turn in to me as soon as possible. The papers are due January 21st.

Art classes started up this semester and with that come all of the messes or possible messes... Please be sure that your children are wearing clothing that its okay to mess up a bit (spilled paint, glue, glitter accidents, etc.) Monday mornings bright and early we have art! During this class students will be talking about famous artists such as Picasso, Michelangelo, Jackson Pollack, and Matisse and learning about the types of art they did. Then they will create their own art in the style of these artists. I am looking forward to seeing their creations!!

Also, this week and in the upcoming weeks our classes with Ms. Phillips (one of the counselors) will be focusing on stranger danger, which adults are okay to trust, and ways of keeping themselves safe. Next week's lesson will focus on students remembering their phone numbers. Please work on this with your child at home if they do not already know it. We will be working on it with them at school too!

Thanks for all of your support and involvement! I look forward to the rest of this school year with your children!
