Valentines Day/100th Day

Valentines day is approaching.  On Valentines day we will exchange valentines.  Please use the list that was sent home to make your valentines.  Be careful not to leave anyone out! 

Valentines day is also the 100th day of school.  We will be doing lots of activities for both celebrations. 

Please take note of the papers that your child is bringing home and empty their folders each day.  Check to see how your child did on his or her classwork.  Also, please enjoy reading the phonetic spelling that your child is doing.
