We are going to have an amazing Valentine’s Day party on February 13th!!!! We will be playing minute to win it games and passing out Valentines. We need some supplies before the big day so if you can bring something that would be wonderful!

We need:
-23 boxes of conversation hearts
-2 or 3 packages of candy corn (red, white, and pink ones)
-chocolate kisses
-Valentines plain M&Ms
-Twizzlers
-23 heart shaped sugar cookies (they have to be store bought)
-Pink or white frosting
Sprinkles

P.S. Let me know if you would like to come in and help! The party will be from 1:45ish- 3:00.

Valentine’s Day

It’s that time again, the time where I ask for volunteers for a class party! 🙂 So far we are going to pass out Valentine’s and put on a couple of Just Dance videos on from YouTube. Anything else is extra. If you would like to come and do an activity or craft let me know. We can also have food on that as long as I know before hand.

Students who want to bring Valentines need to bring one for everyone in our class. We have 23 students (no one likes to be left out!). If they want to give a select number to other students in other classes that is fine with me.

Thanks,
Ms. Young

**Sage Writing Next Week**

This year, we have to administer the SAGE Writing Assessment earlier in February.  (The SAGE Language Arts and Math Assessments will be given in May.) We have been working really hard at school on writing informative and opinion pieces to prepare.  This is all pretty new to our class because we’ve never taken the end of year test before third grade.  
FYI: Our SAGE Writing Test sessions are on next Tuesday, February 3rd and Wednesday, February 5th.  Please make sure your child has a nice big, healthy breakfast with lots of sleep!  

I am attaching another permission slip today(I know, another one…) for chewing peppermint gum during SAGE Testing. Studies show that the peppermint calms the students and helps them focus during long tests. Please read and submit the permission slip with your child before next Tuesday, February 3rd. Thanks for all your help and support!
