On Thursday the 12th we will have a Valentine's celebration in class.  Students will make bags here at school and they can bring valentines to share with friends.  We have 23 students in our class.  Please have your child sign their name, but don't address them to anyone.  That way they can just hand one to each student.

Reading Tip of the Week:
Play word games!  Have your child sound out words as you change them from mat to fat to sat; from sat to sag to sap; from sit to sip.
