State Paragraph Homework and Slurpees?

Your child researched one of the 50 states. They had to find the state’s capital, flower, tree and bird, as well as a fact that your child chose. Their next homework assignment is to take those facts that they learned to write an informational paragraph. The paragraph needs to include a topic sentence, a sentence for each fact your child discovered and a closing sentence. This writing piece needs to include two pictures of the state symbols (these can be student drawn or printed out from your computer) in their final piece with a caption to describe it. You can use the attached sheet to have your child write it, or you can type it on the computer-whatever your child prefers. Please have the completed paragraph turned in by Monday, March 14th. Thanks so much.

Here is a link for the directions with rubric.

Valentine's Party

The classroom party will be tomorrow afternoon.  It will begin at 1:15ish (if it's indoor recess).  If it's outdoor recess, it will begin at 2:00.  (They have been caged in here all week and I'm sure would LOVE to go run!)

This party is a very laid back party.  If you are in the building for other parties, you can stop by and visit.  We will be passing out our Valentine's, enjoying our ice cream and watching a movie.  Don't feel like you have to come in.  You will probably be very bored!  :0)  I apologize for any confusion. 

Please be sure your child has their box ready for tomorrow and any Valentine's they would like to pass out.  Thanks for your understanding!
