We have seen so many fun, thoughtful and informative home projects this week! If your student has not been able to bring theirs in yet, there is still time. We have only been able to see about half of our class’s projects, so if your student has still not completed theirs, please send it in this week so that we can all learn from it.

Tidbits

1 – This past week we also kicked off our Fun Run Fundraiser that will be happening on Friday, February 1st. The funds raised through this race have been earmarked for field trips, so please reach out to friends or family members who might be willing to donate or, of course, you can also pledge! The average student runs 30-35 laps, so keep this in mind as you pledge amounts. I have been impressed with the brief and effective lessons that we have had about citizenship, enthusiasm and more and the children are excited for the run. It will be held indoors on Friday, so please make sure they have appropriate shoes to be able to run. We will all be running, even if we don’t have pledges.

2 – The school’s Chili Cookoff is happening this Tuesday from 5:30 to 7 pm! All-you-can-eat chili for only $5 per person and children 5 and under eat free! You can sign up to bring chili here: https://www.trackitforward.com/site/389525/event/453516 or sign up to help with set up and clean up here: https://www.trackitforward.com/site/389525/event/457150.
