Spelling – Since tomorrow is Friday, that means red spelling notebooks are due.  We did 1 activity together on Monday morning and everyone should have completed 3 activities at home – so when I check notebooks in the morning, I am looking for 4 total activities.  Our spelling test in the morning will include the pattern words that they studied, their individual words, and 4 more “cold” words that follow the pattern.

Library – Tomorrow is our day to check out books 🙂  Next week, we will go to the library on Thursday (since there is no school on Friday).

Valentine’s Day – We are planning to have a small celebration on Thursday, February 11th.  I am sending home a list of student names in tomorrow’s folder (it will be on pink paper).  If your child wishes to pass out Valentine cards or treats, please make sure they have one for every student.

Report cards – These were delivered to me this afternoon.  I will send them home TOMORROW.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me an email.

Headphones – The headphones in our room are quickly becoming unreliable…the sound goes in and out, they fall off our heads, lol, and they seem to forever be tangled.  I have a few students who have brought in their own pair of headphones to use when it is their turn at the computer.  If this is something you would like to do also, please send them in a bag that is labeled with your child’s name.  They can keep them right in their book box 🙂

Two moments from today that were calling my camera, lol…a few of our cuties at recess, and a snapshot of math workshop – I am pretty sure these boys were going for the record of “most multiplication sentences and arrays in a single rotation” (pretty sure they accomplished that!!):
