- Kindness Week will be this week. The children can continue to work on their checklists and have them to be turned in by Friday. The "Hats On to Kindness" day will be Friday.
- Our new "100th Day of School" is now Monday, February 10th. This is the new day we will be celebrating with our special snack. If you would like to sign up for something, there are still several slots still open. Please view the Signupgenius at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A094DA4AD2A1-100day Please send in your donation by this Friday, February 7th.
- Report cards will be going home in the Monday folder. Please review and discuss the progress report with your child. You are to keep the papers inside, and then sign and return the gold envelope.
- I am going to send the new Scholastic book order catalogs and coupons in Monday folders. If you would like to give a book or books as Valentine's gifts, please get your order in by Tuesday. If book orders are not going to be Valentine's Day gifts--book orders will be due by Thursday, February 13th.
- The children took the first of the three tests for standard RL3.1 last Monday for Read to Achieve. We do not yet have a revised school schedule for administering the tests. I am assuming the children will start back on Monday with the same standard. Below is an explanation of the standard and also some recommendations you can do at home with your child.
