I am SO excited to be sending book orders home today.  I LOVE book orders 🙂  If you would like to order anything, fill out the back and return with your cash or check  by Monday, January 20th.  You can make checks payable to me (Laura Turk).  If you would like to pay by credit card, you can order online by following this link:  https://orders.scholastic.com/MK4VL   OR (if the link isn’t working) go online to scholastic book clubs and enter our class activation code MK4VL.

Finally!! I think we are actually going to be able to get back to business, lol 🙂 I am so excited to see everyone tomorrow! To ensure our most successful day back to school, I have a few notes:
* it will most likely be too cold to play outside, BUT just in case, please make sure your child is dressed for it…hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, snow pants, boots, etc… Before we left for break there were still a few kids at school wearing thick sweatshirts or thinner coats and that is just dangerous at this point!
* even inside the classroom, please make sure your child has layers on. The heat has been turned down for weeks and our classroom tends to reflect the outside – cooler in the winter and warmer when it’s hot out…an extra sweater or sweatshirt may be needed to keep comfy for some.
* I will be looking forward to students returning their December reading calendars for their pizza coupon!
* tomorrow (Thursday) is library book check-out. Please check to see if your child brought home their library books over break and make sure they are in their backpack to be returned.

I hope everyone enjoyed break and these few extra snow days 🙂 See you soon!
