1. Math Packet 
2. Baggie Books/Reading Fluency

*****PLEASE make sure your student is bringing their blue homework folder and a backpack each day to class. It is really hard to pass out papers for parents and send home information when students don’t have them. Bell Photography has sent back pictures of your student’s for Valentine’s cards. You can choose to keep them and pay for them, or return them tomorrow and I will send them back. Some students will not have them sent home today because they don’t have a backpack or folder to put them in. If you would like them, please contact me.*****

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held 4-8pm on Tuesday, February 20 and Thursday, February 22.  I am so excited to meet with each of you, please sign up by clicking the following link: Conference Sign Up Form

The 100th Day of School lands on Thursday, February 1 and we are excited to celebrate!  Each child is welcome to bring a collection of 100 items that day to school (100 buttons, 100 signatures, 100 pom poms…) It’s fun to see what 100 of something looks like!  Just a couple guidelines:  
* Please let your child only bring in a collection that they can carry and manage by themselves (in fact it would be nice if it could fit in their cubbies)
* No food items (per Quest policy)
*Please no items that have been banned (like Pokemon cards)
*Have fun thinking of a creative or unique collection you want to bring

Please have your student bring something that moves to class on Friday. It needs to be something that can fit in a backpack and isn’t too big.
(Preferably something that can fit in your hand.)

Thank you! 

Valentine’s Boxes

Students are welcome to bring a bag or box from home on Valentine’s to collect their Valentine’s cards in. Today we talked about ideas for boxes and discussed that this is an optional activity. Here is a link to the pictures we looked at: Valentine’s Box Ideas
