• Red spelling notebooks are due tomorrow.  We did the pencil, marker, crayon activity together on Monday.  Everyone should have 3 more activities done – so that when I check notebooks tomorrow, they will have 4 total activities done.
• Tomorrow is Pj’s-n-Pancakes 🙂  We will start about 9:30 and will probably only take about an hour to celebrate.
• No School 2/16-2/20.
• Menu change for 2/23:  First choice will be cheese quesadilla, second choice will be cheese pocket pizza.
• The note for the 100th day of school went home yesterday.  If you didn’t see it, I have posted it on the blog.  Click on the 100th day of school page https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/turkl/100th-day-of-school/.   I also added some pictures of projects from last year.

tomorrow is a late start!  I will see everyone at 9:30 🙂

• Spelling words for next week are:  shook, soot, could, should, crook.  There will be individual words also.  They have a new sheet of activities to try (it’s pink).  They can choose from the new sheet or the old one.  Starting this week, they will need to complete 1 activity in school on Monday with me, and then 3 more at home during the week.
• Monday is our PBIS reward.  Students with 6 yellows or less, no blue, no red are able to attend the Talent Show put on by the 5th graders.  They are asking for $1 donation to help support the Ronald McDonald house.
• We are celebrating Valentine’s Day on Friday at 9:30 with pjs-n-pancakes.  If your child is doing cards, please make sure they have one for every student in our class.  I sent a list of names home on Thursday, if you need another one, please let me know. I had a question about the $2 party donation, just to clarify, many of you have already sent in $10 to cover all the parties so this would not apply to you.
• With a little help from our snow days, the 100th day of school will now fall after our winter break.  We don’t usually make a huge deal out of it, but each student will be asked to complete a project of 100 things and we will probably do a 100 item snack.  More details will follow next week 🙂

I found these clipboards in the dollar section of Target the other day.  My Target only had 5 so I bought them all.  If anyone ends up at Target and can grab us a few, that would be AWESOME!

What a great celebration!  Many thanks to everyone who pulled the party together!!!  Aren’t they cute???

(p.s. report cards came home today in the red folders)

Sorry for the late reminder…

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is hippie day.  There was also a menu change for lunch – first choice will be macaroni and cheese.
