Valentines Party
Our Valentine Party will be on Friday, February 14th from 9:45 to 10:45 am.  
We will be making Valentine bags during the week so you will NOT need to create one for your child to bring.
We have 27 kids in our class. 16 girls and 11 boys. Please have your child sign their names to the cards that they will be passing out but do not personalize them as to who will be receiving them.
We will also be decorating cookies. If your child’s permission to have cookies has changed, please let me know.
*Please do not send Valentines with any type of food or candy in them.

Math in Class
We will be solving 2-STEP word problems using addition strategies. Please watch for practice pages to come home. I know homework is optional, but if you could talk about it at home, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Reading Homework (optional, but highly encouraged!!) 
Enjoy your time at home with your kids and continue to encourage them to read for enjoyment! You can even read to them!! 20 minutes a day is a great goal. Remember to fill out your monthly reading log if you want a prize.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
