Here is next week's newsletter: January 21-24. Please take time to read the newsletter. Thank you!

-No school on Monday January 20th in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

-Mark your calendar for Second Semester Parent Night on Thursday, January 30th at 6:00 pm. You might notice we had to move the meeting up one week due to a conflict. Please plan for the parent who works with your child on the practice sheets to attend this event.

Help from home: We are now writing our first and last names on our papers. Your child will be assessed on this and is expected to be able to write their name with correct letter formation and orientation to the line. Please work on this with your child. Learning your last name, how to spell it, and writing it can be difficult and can take longer to master.

The 100th Day of School is Wednesday, January 22nd.  The students can dress up on the 100th Day of School as if they were 100 years old. Ideas for the girls: hair in a bun, glasses, dress or sweater, pearls/bead necklace, wrinkles, etc. Ideas for the boys: suspenders, tie, cardigan sweater, glasses, wrinkles, etc. You can probably find most of these items around your house or in your dress-up box.  It will be a fun day! 

Today in your child’s folder you will see information about our Valentine's Exchange Home Project. As your family works on writing valentine's, please have your child do the writing, not mom or dad. When your child has finished writing the names on the cards, please let your child practice reading the names. Your child will need to be able to read the name in order to drop the valentine in the correct bag. I sent this home early so the children have plenty of time to work on this project.

The sign up for Duty Free Lunch for second semester was sent out earlier this week. Please see the link to sign up.
