Our letters this week are "th". We remember the sound these letters make because they tickle our teeth with our tongue when we say "thhhhhhhh". The word of the week is "the". The students were challenged to pick a book from home and count how many "the" are in the book.
Today we talked about the groundhog's prediction of an early Spring. Let's hope the rodent is right!
Many students said they would prefer an early Spring over 6 more weeks of Winter!
We are in need of EMPTY Kleenex boxes for our Valentine's Day craft. If you have any EMPTY Kleenex boxes at home, we will be happy to take them off your hands! Please send them in by Feb. 11th.
The school will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday, February 4th). Pizza day will be bumped to Wednesday, February 5th.
Friday, February 14 is Valentine's Day and the children are excited to exchange Valentine's cards. As this is a PD Day, we will celebrate on Thursday, February 13th. Also on Thursday, the students are welcome to wear red, pink and white. When preparing Valentine's for the class, please do not address each Valentine by the student's first name. Just fill out the "from" portion of the card and encourage your child to write their own name - excellent practice! There are 22 students and it makes it easier to pass them out. Please note that due to the Healthy Schools Act, children are requested not to send in treats.
