We will be having a Valentine’s Day Party this Thursday, February 11th in the afternoon. We will be sending a note home about the party. Please do not send any candy. You may bring in a healthy snack to share with the class. We have 20 students in our classroom. If you choose to send in Valentine cards please don’t write student names. You can have your child write who the card is from instead. This will save time when they pass out cards to the class.
Thank you,
Mrs. Baydoun

Hello Parents,
We are taking out Unit 5 Math test on Monday. We will begin Unit 6 this week. Some of what we will be learning in this unit are using an addition/subtraction table to solve math facts, make number collection boxes, learn how to make a fact family and use fact triangles to practice fact families. In writing we have been working on how to books. Some of the topics we have worked on are how to make maple syrup, how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and this week we are working on how to be a good friend. In social studies we will be starting our new unit about How we learn about places.
New spelling words for the week are found in the spelling tab on our blog.
Look for a note that will be going home this week about our Valentine’s Day celebration that will be held on Thursday.
Just a reminder that we will not have school this Friday, February 12th-Monday February 15th.
Family Engineering Night is February 16 from 5:00 – 7:00. Families are invited to come and discover the world of engineering. There will be robots, rockets, cars, electrical circuits, weather stations and engineering centers that families can explore together. Families will also have the chance to meet some amazing engineers. As an extra bonus, there will be a raffle at the end of the night. This is an event you won’t want to miss!
Also, report cards will be sent home on Thursday, February 4th. Please sign the envelope the report card is in and return to school with your child as soon as possible. This shows us you have seen your child’s report card. As always, do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Last but not least, there will be a popcorn sale on Friday, February 5th. The cost is $.50 per bag, each child is allowed to purchase a maximum of TWO bags.
Hope everyone had a nice long weekend off! Please be sure to have students dress in warm clothes to school. It has been very cold outside and it can get a little cold in our classroom at times. Also, please make sure if your child is wearing boots to school they have an extra pair of shoes to change into while they are in school.
Please check the Spelling and Math tabs for new updates this week!
Thank you,
Mrs. Baydoun and Mrs. Locke
Hello Families,
Your child received a Unit 4 study guide to prepare for the math test next week. This does not need to be returned to school, just use it to review at home what they will be tested on next Monday.
Also, NWEA testing will take place next week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and eats breakfast prior to the test.
Below is a link that will allow your child to practice this test:

Have a great weekend!
Happy New Year!
Hope everyone had a wonderful relaxing break! Please make sure to look at the new spelling words for this week. Due to limited copying requirements
we will not be sending home copies of the spelling list anymore. Students will be copying their spelling words into their planners each week. If you would still like a copy of the spelling words please let us know and we will send home a copy.
Hello Parents!
Don’t forget tomorrow is pajama day! We will be celebrating PJ day and our winter break by continuing our “Grinch” activities that we started today and we will watch Dr. Seuss’ cartoon, “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”. There will be a reading packet sent home tomorrow that your children can work on over the break, there is also a yellow “reading log” that will be in their folders for them to track how many minutes they read each day. The students with the most minutes will be rewarded with special prize after the break!
We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season!
Mrs. Locke and Mrs. Baydoun
