Dear Parents,

Can you believe it? We are now more than half way through First Grade! Yikes! The rest of the school year is going to fly by! Here are some upcoming events.

Monday, February 3 was the 100^th day of school. I hope your kiddos have fun celebrating being 100 days smarter.

February 14 is Valentine’s Day but it’s also a school holiday this year.  We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Thursday, February 13.  We will be passing out Valentine’s day cards from 2:00 to 2:30. There are 28 students in our class.  If you decide to pass out cards, your child must write one for each child in the class. Your child should write his/her name and his/her friend’s name on the Valentine.  I ask that the names be written so it ensures that each child gets one. Here is the school policy on Valentine’s Day:

Valentine’s Day: If your child wishes to give Valentines to his/her classmates, please refrain from giving anything more than one bite-size piece of candy. If you choose to send candy, you must check in with the classroom teacher to make sure there are no allergies to be aware of. A Valentine’s Card is always appropriate.

On Friday, February 14 and Monday, February 17, there is no school.  I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend.

Friday, February 28 is Art At Your Fingertips! Please join us.  

Sniffles continue to be on the rise!  Thank you to those families who have brought in a box or two of tissues.  If your child has the sniffles, may I suggest you provide our class with a box of Kleenex.

Sincerely,

Ms.  Turner
