Friday, February 15

What a great way to end a great week!  The team went outside for a few minutes to enjoy the warm weather and a game of Dodge Ball.  Our Dodge Ball rules were a little different though. Rule 1: No one can get out (unless they just wanted to play something else). Rule 2: The person who has the most fun wins! I would say we had quite a few winners! I know I definitely won!

A couple of tasks this weekend:
1. It was a very busy week, and we are not quite in the habit yet, so many of us did not get our positives filled out for the week.  As you are reviewing this week's behavior report, please help your child write down one positive for each day.

2. Next week is our Friendship Party. Students are challenged with making their own Valentine's holders. The directions below were sent home along with a class list and a signature practice sheet.  Students are encouraged to sign their valentines in cursive. The directions below are just a suggestion.  I have encouraged the kids to be creative and think "outside the box."  Many have already thought of very creative containers they could use to form a valentines Box!

Valentines Box Project
February 14th is Valentines Day.
We will be focusing on the friendships we have made at school. Our class will have a friendship celebration, including the passing out of Valentines.

You will be creating your Valentine's box at home. Together with an adult, gather the supplies needed to create a box to hold your valentines. A shoebox or tissue box is the perfect size. Be creative!

Supply Ideas:
♥ 1 box (you can use a Kleenex or shoe box or ???)
♥ Paper (construction paper, wrapping paper, tissue paper, scrapbook paper or fabric)
♥ Stickers, foam shapes, ribbons or other embellishments
1. Make a large slit on top of the box to fit the cards through.
2. Cover and decorate the box.
3. Be sure to put your name on the box, making it easy for your classmates to read.
4. Bring your decorated box to school on 2/12- the day of our party!


MATH: Math blocks did a marvelous job of finishing up the Unit 6 Test and thinking through any needed corrections. Test results will be coming home in the Feedback and Data Binder on Monday, along with the EDM parent letter for Unit 7. Fractions, here we come!
