How I Spent My Winter Break

I hope you all had a great break, I sure did.  I entered a contest at Gardner White and won!!  I won a room full of furniture and tickets to go see Oprah.  It was a great time.  I was also on the news.  Hopefully the video will play below.

Valentine's Week

Our Valentine’s Day party will be this Friday, February 12th. I usually have a low-key party due to the vacation following. In the past, I have always had an ice cream party. However, due to allergies, this year, I have decided to have their Slurpee reward instead. If you are able to donate something like pretzels, Cheez-its, animal crackers, or any other peanut-tree nut free snack, please let me know. Students can bring in cards made out to their classmates and don’t forget your handcrafted Valentine’s mailboxes that day. After students pass out their cards, we will watch a movie and enjoy our Slurpees. Thanks for your cooperation!

Also, all students will have the same spelling words this week and the week after break. Here is this week's list.
Suffixes

And I kept forgetting, but here it is for those who need it, the February calendar.

Don't forget the Lion's assembly is tomorrow. Have your child wear anything Lions, football or blue! It should be fun, I'm excited!!

Lions Rescheduled!

The Lion's assembly will be on Monday, February 8th.  Same time, 2:15-3:00.  If your child is signed up for the camp, it will begin right after school.

Reward Day Tomorrow!

Congratulations to our class.  They have achieved in filling our jar of marbles.  The students have decided to have a “Game Day.”  This will take place TOMORROW.  Please have your child send in their favorite board game in a bag, we will spend the afternoon playing games together.  Please do not send anything in that has a lot of little pieces, they sometimes get misplaced!  I will allow the students to bring in a DSi after they have played a board game for a while.  BUT in order to play the DSi, they must have brought a board game to play first.  This is the first time I am allowing video games.  We will see how it goes.  Please make sure games are appropriate for school.  The students also wanted to make this day a twin day.  

Lion's Assembly

Tomorrow's assembly is cancelled!  The director is out sick. Mrs. Crum will be rescheduling.  I will let you know when that is finalized!!  The camp afterwards will be rescheduled as well.

Show Your Spirit!

Tomorrow is our Lions assembly!  I am so excited.  I think Roary, the Lion's mascot will be here!  Have your child show their school spirit by wearing Lion's gear or any football shirts!  It should be a fun afternoon.

Also, this Thursday is Academic Blitz.  Students are encouraged to wear college gear.  Teachers will be sharing a little bit of why college is so important with students.  And we will be decked out in the college we all went to!  The next couple of days will be pretty fun!!
 

Valentine Homework

Students are asked to design their own Valentine mailbox for our Valentine's Day party.  This box can be a shoebox, cereal box, and clothing box, whatever.  Since students have so much academic homework, we thought it would be fun to be creative!  Decorate your box to match your child’s personality, interests, etc.  Have fun!  Please have them turned in by Friday, February 12th.
