Jan. 31 - Feb. 4

Hope everyone enjoyed their 4 day weekend! It is hard to go back into the deep freeze again after such a nice warm week.
P.D. Day was awesome. I learned alot that I can apply to me and my class and also to my life.
*Spelling Test - Friday, February 4. We should do really well because of the extra time we have had to practice. Thanks for practicing at home.
*Reading - Thanks for reading our weekly story every night and signing yellow sheet.
Remember to practice reading the story that has been typed on the sheet without the pictures and the vocabulary.
*Library - We check out books every Wednesday and Friday. Please try to return library books on time. Last week, our class had all books returned on time! Fantastic! Mrs. Peterson really praised them. Students loved it!
*Weather - Dress for the weather! If it is below 0 degrees, maybe wear a hoodie under your coat. Students are doing a super job of zipping up their coats now. It sure makes a difference.
*Snacks - Thanks for sending a snack in the morning. Your child really appreciates it and it also helps them make it to lunch time.
*Assembly - Bob King is coming on Tuesday, February 15 to entertain us. He will be selling some of his C.D.'s for $10.00.
Printing - We are concentrating on being neat and forming letters properly. Students love it when they don't have to make any corrections on their paper.
*Lates - We are getting better at being on time. Thanks for your help! Students really like getting to school early so they can visit, read books, play, and talk to me.
*Character Education for February - Courage
*Valentine Cards - Students can start passing them out on Wednesday, February 9.

*Mrs. Vidal, my Educational Assistant, will no longer be in our class. She had to go on a maternity leave sooner than was expected. She has been having problems and we hope that all goes well. We will miss her! Helen Gibb is working with me now until a decision has been made as to who will replace Mrs. Vidal. We are enjoying Mrs. Gibb in our class. She fits in really well.
Remember if you have any concerns or suggestions, please feel free to call me or write a note in your child's agenda.
*We are now really half way through Grade 1. I am so pleased with the progress our class has achieved, and I anticipate even greater improvements these next five months.
February is going to be a great month and also a short one. Have a great week and "Enjoy Your Crew!"
