Wow...this unit is really flying by. We are now on Unit4 Week 4. After Valentines Week we will have our next big UNIT Test. Our third nine weeks is half way over... I hope you were pleased with your child's progress report. If so...Please tell them. If not... we still have about 4 weeks to work on it.

Right now in math we are practicing to tell time as well as count various money amounts. Any time you can reinforce this concept at home would be great. Just ask your child, randomly, "What time is it". Of course use a Watch type clock instead of digital if possible.
Just grab some coins and ask your child to count them. These are both life skills they will use every day and MUST MASTER.

Our Valentine's Day Party will be NEXT Monday, Feb. 14th at 1:30. You should find a sign up sheet in your child's folder for a food item to bring in. It also has the names of all the students for you to address valentine cards for. Some people buy valentines and attach candy to each one, others just make their own. Your choice. However they are delivered... the students LOVE to get their mail. Their smiles are fabulous on this day.

Feb. 8th = Spirit night at Cici's
