Fun Run, Valentines, PTC, Spelling Bee

Hello All,

Thank you all so much for your support in helping your students with their STEM home projects. Their presentations were so wonderful. I loved learning from them and hearing their knowledge and when they would add little tidbits of things not included in the actual presentation but that they learned while working on the project with you. Thank you for being such wonderful supporters!

This next Friday is the school’s Fun Run. Thank you to those who have been able to donate so far. If you have not yet, please go to funrun.com. You can either pledge per lap or donate a flat sum. Either way will help with our goal to raise the money for field trips. Our school code is 747234.

We will be having our class Valentine party on the morning of February 14. A sign up will be on Track it Forward soon. For the party, students can bring cards and/or treats, gifts for the other students. This is completely voluntary. We will be decorating bags in class for the students to put their cards in. We have 27 students in our class and 3 teachers.

We have parent teacher conferences Wednesday, February 13; Thursday, February 14; and Friday, February 15 from 1:40 to 6:40 with a break for dinner. Please get on Track it Forward and sign up for a time to come visit. We would love if your child can come and help lead the visit. The book fair will also be open during these conferences. Come buy a book for your children or for our class or both.

I sent home spelling bee lists at the beginning of the week. I really want to encourage all kids to participate in our class spelling bee. This will be held in our classroom and I think would be a good experience for the kids to do. However, I do understand that not all kids will be comfortable with this. They can also participate in other ways. If your child decides not to take part in their classroom bee, they will need to use the spelling bee words in another way to share with their classmates. Some of these ways include but are not limited to writing a story using as many of the spelling bee words as possible, creating multiple funny sentences using the words, create a board game using the words, create a game involving good, physical activity with the words, create a classroom scavenger hunt with the words. I cannot share the list electronically but I can send another one home if you need it.

Yearbooks are on sale for only $20. You can even personalize it by getting a foil name imprint on it for only $3 more. If you buy them after March 1st, there is a $5 late fee. Please keep in mind that the payments are due by March 29th. If you want to order one to keep the memories or just want to support our school, you can order you yearbook with the code 13283719.

Thanks for all you do!
