On Tuesday (2/11) 100th poster are due. Please do not bring them in until Tuesday so you can make sure to have the presentation (talking) part prepared! We will be making 100th day fruit look necklaces so please let me know on remind text by Monday if you can donate a box of fruit loops (We will need 2-3 boxes). On Friday, we will celebrate Valentine’s with some activities in the afternoon. Students are encouraged to make Valentines cards for the class- we have 22 students. Please leave “to” blank but have your child write their name so their friends know who it is from. Also please do not do seperate Valentine’s cards for boys and girls as it makes the passing out difficult. We will be decorating boxes at school so please send in a shoe box with your child’s name on it and a hole cut in the top (as shown in picture) by Friday! We will be doing candy heart graphing so if you are able to donate boxes of candy hearts (like shown), please send me a remind text by Monday. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
