Valentine's Celebration and Update 2/7/16

It's Almost Valentine's Day!!

What a fun week we had.  The kids were so adorable dressed up as 100 year olds!  It was a day full of 100's, from reading to writing to math.

We had an assembly on Thursday celebrating "The Bobcat" award.  This award is given to one student in each class that shows kindness and compassion towards others.  Caleb was the recipient.  Congratulations, Caleb!

Friday we were invited to watch the NOVA performance.  It was great!  Students in 4-6 try out for the play and practice for two weeks after school. They put on three performances and did a fabulous job.

Spelling was a tough one last week.  This week shouldn't be as difficult.  The words and sentence are:
cuff, sniff, tell, still, kiss, dress, jazz, fizz, funny, will
Tell her to get the dress.

In math this week, we will be working on numbers that are ten more and ten less and greater than, less than, and equal to.

In reading, we will read "Our Natural World" and discuss what are earths natural treasures (wind, water, bees, etc.) in reading group.

We will be finishing up our "Favorite Places" book in writing.  Each student chose a place in Billings that they think a new student should go.  They had to state their opinion, give reasons, and try to convince the reader.

We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Thursday the 11th.  We will make our Valentine bags on Monday or Tuesday so there is no need to create anything at home.  If you would like to donate stickers to accessorize their bags, that would be great!

Since Thursday is a half-day, we will be having healthy snacks in addition to a few Valentine treats. We are asking for healthy snacks to fill the kids up on the half-day. Some ideas are meat and cheese platters, cut up fruit and vegetables, crackers, cheese sticks, and juice.  If you’d like to donate, please call or email so that we make sure we’re not doubling up or overdoing it on one item.

Here is a list of the kid’s names. Please make sure each student receives a Valentine.

Bridger, Jaden, Zander, Kyhler, Caleb, Dominic, Kory, Jayce, Jonathon, Ashton, E.J., Lillie, Isabella, Reese, Ceilia, Brooke, Olivia, and Talis

Have a great week.  Remember school dismisses at 12:00 on Thursday the 11th and there is no school on Friday the12th and Monday the15th.
