**Valentine’s Day Party on Thursday, February 14th from 1:30-3:00**
- We will be having a Valentine’s Day Party on Thursday, February 14th from 1:30-3:00. Please send 25 Valentine cards with each of your students on Valentine’s Day to pass out. (Students can also bring their own Valentine mailbox or bag, we will not be making them at school.) To make passing them out easier, please only have your child sign their name on each card–PLEASE DO NOT ADDRESS EACH CARD. Another reminder, please do not attach candy or food to the Valentine Cards, but you can be creative and do pencils, erasers, etc.

Math in the Class
For the next two weeks our class will be working on equivalent fractions.
Language Arts in Class
We will be working with problem and solutions this week with our story , “Out of This World: The Ellen Ochoa Story” which is a biography and our essential question is: Why are goals important?
Reading Homework
Our goal is to have student’s read 20 minutes per night. Please keep tract of reading minutes on the monthly reading log. February’s reading log will come home on Monday.
Math Homework
Each student will need to get onto www.reflexmath.com (access under student links on the Quest website, or on the blogs sidebar under Class Links) and complete their “green light” Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (3 sessions). Just in case students don’t remember, the class username is “Beckstead3″ and all passwords are “rams”. If students do not complete Reflex at home they will complete it during recess time.
