Spirit week:  Tuesday is hippie day.  Wednesday our class should wear the color blue.  Thursday is sports day.  Friday is pajama day, crazy hair day and our BIRTHDAY BASH. (Wow, that is a busy Friday)

Birthday bash:  please send in $5 to cover the cost of pizza, cake, and ice cream.  If you are unable to send in the money, please let me know through an email.  Any money left over will go towards a craft on Valentine’s Day.

Spelling:  starting this week, students will have 5 pattern words like always, but their other 5 words will be chosen by them.  I gave them a list of words that was tested at the beginning of the year.  The words that they got right were highlighted – they should have chosen 5 words that were not highlighted to put on their list for this week.  It may take us a week or two to get the process down pat.

Reading:  I have a few more students to test but should be able to check in with every reading group by tomorrow if I didn’t check in with them today.

Report Cards: might be coming home as early as Wednesday but I will post a message to let you know for sure that they are on their way home.
