Rock Unit and Valentines

Hello!,
This week we are talking about rocks in science. We will be mining for minerals (chocolate chips), seeing how the earth is layered (like Snickers) and seeing how pressure and heat affect rocks (Pop Rocks). Permission for these activities was included in the class disclosure that you signed at the beginning of the school year. I do have students who cannot have peanuts and I will talk to those parents at conferences. We will be doing these activities on Thursday. If permission has changed, please let me know.
We will have our class Valentine party on Thursday, Feb. 14th from 1:45 til 2:50. Please let me know if you are available to help out. We will be decorating bags here at school so please do not send a box with your child.
There are 25 students in our class. Please do not put individual names on Valentines, but do have your child sign their names on the ones that they will be handing out. We will exchange Valentines on the 14th. Please do not include food items in Valentines. We will be decorating cookies as one of our stations for the party.
Please contact me if you  have any questions!
