Please have your child read the book (or one story from the books that contain more than one story) at least three times and then sign the included form. You may supplement your child’s reading using books at home, library books, etc. to fulfill the minimum requirement of 20-30 minutes of reading per day.

This activity should be completed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
If you are able to read the entire passage in less than a minute: start again at the top of the passage and read as many more words as you can until the one-minute timing is over. For scoring, include the total words read during the entire minute. For instance, if you read the entire passage (137 words) and then read part of it again (39 words) before the one-minute timing was over, your score would be 176 (if you had no mistakes).

Valentine’s Day Cards and Boxes
Stores are now stocked and ready for Valentine’s Day! To help you properly prepare for 
our in-class celebrations, here are the Quest guidelines for Valentines:
VALENTINES
“Per Quest’s wellness policy, all food in the classroom must be pre-approved. Furthermore, parental permission is also required for students to consume food during class parties. Due to this policy—as in years past—student Valentines cannot contain edible items. Suggestions for non-food Valentines include pencils, erasers, bubbles, stickers, etc. Please note that such items, including Valentine cards, are in no way required.”
We have 25 students in our class. Please, please, please: only write who the Valentine is from – please do not address the Valentines to specific students. Try to imagine 25 six-year-olds frantically circling the class, struggling to pass out Valentines to specific students’s desks, and likely struggling with reading the spelling of many students’ names, and imagine one frazzled teacher trying to assist these 25 children in identifying specific students’ names and locating specific students’ desks! 🙂 This mental image will help you to understand why I request that you please only fill out the “from” part of the Valentine card and not the “to” part. Thank you for your help with this! 🙂
VALENTINE BOXES
Your child is welcome to decorate a box at home and bring it to school for storing Valentines. It is not a requirement, however, and those students who come without a Valentine box will be given a Valentine folder or bag to keep their Valentines in.
PLEASE BRING ALL CARDS AND BOXES TO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH.

Mad Scientist Club Update
We had such a great response for our mad scientist/art club and we wish everybody could attend! POQA randomly picked three students from our class to participate, so I will send an email to those three students ONLY–letting them know they were selected. If a student cannot participate, for whatever reason, POQA will randomly select another student to take their place. Thank you!
