TONIGHT’S MATH HOMEWORK
For tonight’s homework there was two math pages to do odd problems with please do not have them do the last math page. My hopes of getting through each lesson did not work out and they will not know how to do it. It is lesson 5. You can have them simply turn it back in without doing the last page. I apologize I should have not included it. 

TOMORROW: EARLY OUT 1pm
    *$1.00 dress down or wear uniform
    * Homework due

We have had some awesome parents donate two very large baskets for us for our STEM Gala Auction Basket.  BUT—we still need many donations to continue to fill it.  

It’s competition time! The 1st grade team will be making a Family Fun Activity Basket. To make this happen, we need some donations from family/friends. Feel free to ask companies for donations, purchase items, or re-gift items. Nothing is too small or too great.  The baskets will be auctioned off via a Silent Auction in conjunction with our Gala!  Baskets will be on display prior to the event in the lobby area of Q1.  The basket donations are due no later than Friday, February 19th.  The STEM Gala is March 21st.  

Thank you so much for all of your support!  With a little help we can put together the best basket and win!  The ideas are endless and there is no idea that we can think of you could donate that wouldn’t fit into our basket theme.  If you know any businesses that you can ask for donations that would be great as well!  The Rush Funplex has already donated 5 VIP All Day Passes for our basket!  All it takes is a phone call.  

Below is a list of suggested items to donate: 

Games: board games, card games, electronic hand held games, wordsearch books, coloring books, etc. 
Baking items:  Cookie mixes, cake mixes, cookie decorating tools, aprons, kids cookbook
Movies/DVD’s:  Kid friendly dvd’s or gift cards to Movie theaters or Netflix, Redbox Codes, movie theater mugs 
Gift cards:  Ice cream shops, sporting events, Fat Cats Card, Sparetime or Fun Plex Gift Cards, Boondocks card, Fast Kart passes, College or Professional Sports Events, High School Sporting Events or Drama/Musical Event tickets, etc.  
Ice Cream Bar Supplies:  Ice Cream toppings, cute dessert dishes, ice cream/dessert maker, etc.

Large Basket Needed

Hello, Wonderful Parents!

We are hoping that someone has a very large basket on-hand that they wouldn’t mind donating to be used as our auction basket for the POQA Gala auction.  If you do have a large basket that you wouldn’t mind parting with, please send it to school with your child by Wednesday, February 24th.  

Thank you!!

Valentines Gift/ Party

Please fill out and sign this permission slip for your child to participate in our Valentines party.

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 Box
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.

I just wanted to let everyone know that POQA has already randomly picked three students from our class to participate in the First Grade club. If you did not receive an email from me unfortunately your child was not selected to participate. If these students for whatever reason can not pay the fee on time (Thursday the 21st) or can not follow the contract POQA will randomly select another student to take their place.

1. Book orders will be due January 29th.

maze2. 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 in regards to Valentine’s:

“Per Quest’s wellness policy, all food in the classroom must be preapproved. 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 nonfood Valentines include pencils, erasers, bubbles, stickers, etc. Please note that such items, including Valentine cards, are in no way required.”
