Happy Early Spring! Phil the groundhog did not see his shadow. Eighteen people in our class predicted he would see his shadow and five predicted he wouldn’t. Looks like the five were right.
Thank you to all who were able to pledge and donate for our Fun Run. Our class was amazing. Almost all the kids ran 35 or more laps. All the students worked so hard and we had a blast doing it. Thank you all and please tell your kiddos congrats! They were great!
We have parent teacher conferences the week of February 11th. Conferences will be held Wednesday the 13th, Thursday the 14th, and Friday the 15th starting at 1:40 p.m. Please sign up to come visit about your child. If possible, we would love your child to come as well and help direct the conference. You can sign up on Track it Forward. This is also the time when the book fair will be help in the library.
We will be having our class Valentine party on the morning of February 14 starting at 11:00. A sign up for the party is on Track it Forward. 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 will be having an early lunch this day and the parfait we have at the party will be our snack.
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.

Take care!
