Donations Needed:

•  Valentine stickers for our Valentine for Vets cards
•  Lysol wipes- I have been wiping down materials/tables daily and have completely run out!

Future Fun:

• We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Wednesday, February 14th  at 1:00 p.m.  I will be posting needed materials on the blog later this week.

Valentine cards:  Your child will have a note about passing out Valentine cards in their red folder on Monday.  It contains a list with the names of each student in our class.  This is a fun way for your child to practice writing their own name as well as the names of their friends.  If your child chooses to do this, please bring the cards on Wednesday, February 14th.

• We will be celebrating the 100th day of School on Friday, February 16th.  Your child may dress up as a 100 year old person that day.  We had so much fun last year that I can’t wait to celebrate this special day again!  Take a look!

 

Enjoy the day!
