Can you believe it? Another month gone by. We are already one month into 2017.
Because it is President’s Day this month and Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays, our next home project will be a short biography on a president. I will assign presidents by picking names out of a basket. This will be done on Monday after I introduce the topic to the students. These will need to be turned in by the week of February 27th. However, the students may start presenting them as soon as they finish and bring them.
Parent teacher conferences are in about a week and half. They will be Wednesday the 15th, Thursday the 16th, and Friday the 17th. Because conferences start at 1:40, these will be early out days. Please arrange for your child to be picked up at 1:00 p.m. The sign up sheet is at https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/fwijs.
Our Valentine party is tentatively set for Wednesday the 15th from about 10:30 to noon. If your child wants to bring cards and/or candy for the other students in our class, they can bring them that day and we will hand them out at the end of the party. We have 30 students in our class. We will not be decorating boxes. Instead I will provide large manila envelopes for them all. The way it works best is to only put who the cards are from and not who they are to. That way the kids aren’t digging through their cards trying to find the right one for every child. If you have any questions, let me know.
Enjoy your weekend.
