Hello Everyone,
What crazy weather we get here in northern Utah. Intense snow for multiple days and then rain during the night. Because we had art during our regular recess time on Thursday, our class went out to recess by ourselves later in the day. It was so wonderful to watch all the kids playing and getting along. A majority of our class took it upon themselves to add to a small wall that was already started. Together the kids rolled up about 12 large snowballs so big my arms would not fit around them. They added to the wall and made it almost a complete circle. I completely enjoyed watching the kids work together and come to each other’s aid as they needed it with pushing the snowballs and packing them together to create a wall. I was able to take some pictures and will include them in a separate post.
A few reminders for this week:
Our Valentine’s Day party will be the afternoon of Friday the 14th. Students are invited to bring a valentine and/or candy to share with their friends. To make things go easier and quicker, do not have students put the name of who the card is to on it, just who it is from. This way they are not searching for a long time for a certain name. We have 20 students in our class and 2 teachers. In class we will be decorating bags for the students to put their valentine’s in. If they want to bring a box, it will need to be decorated at home. Please be checking Trackitforward for sign ups to help or donate for this.
Friday is also the day we will do our class spelling bee. We will do this in the morning. Even though, only level 3s will be able to participate in the school spelling bee, all levels are encouraged to participate in the class bee if they are comfortable doing so.
Friday is also our first ever MMA Share the Love event. This is an opportunity for families to come and see our school. there will be 3 different tours that parents can sign up for; 9 am, 11 am, or 1 pm. Anyone interested will need to go to this link https://forms.gle/c55cn76RkRAYryRL8 and sign up for a time along with give information about how many people will be attending. This is not just for families who already attend our school, but for anyone interesting in learning more and possibly attending in the future. Please feel free to share this info on social media, tell your family and neighbors and friends. We want to show everyone how amazing our school and teachers are.
The annual MMA GALA is coming up in just over a month. Tickets will go on sale shortly. This is one of our biggest fundraisers for the school and a lot of fun. This year it will be held at the Timbermine Lodge. So not only will you be with good company but also get good food. If you are able, I would encourage you to attend. This is for adults only and is a fun night out. Please watch for more info on the tickets. As part of this our class has been asked to put together a basket for the silent auction. Our classes basket is family fitness. Some ideas include but are not limited to work out balls, bungee cables, weights, jump ropes, water bottles, games, etc. You can send any of these items to the school with your child and I will take care of them. Also, if you have baskets you are not using and would be willing to donate for the GALA, you can send them as well.
Please check TrackitForward for opportunities to help with after school programs. We need more volunteers, and if we cannot get them, we cannot have the wonderful programs. The next MAPA meeting will be Thursday, March 5th at 5:30 for anyone who would like to share input and ideas with our wonderful committee.
We do not have school Monday, February 17th in celebration of President’s Day.
Classic Skate Night is scheduled for Friday, the 21.
Don’t forget about Literacy Night Thursday, the 27th.
Thanks as always! Have a wonderful weekend.
