Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful Teacher Appreciation Gifts, truly appreciate all your generosity and support.  I am very blessed to have such a wonderful class and parents.  The children are doing GREAT!  They have shown tremendous growth from the 1^st trimester.  Keep up the hard work. The 100^th Day of School is on Monday, February 13^th, please bring in your Hat Project, and we will be having a Hat Parade to kick off our celebration.   Please see attached for instructions for the Hat Project.   We are also in need of 10 boxes of Fruit Loops for a project on the 100^th day.  If you are able to donate them please let me know.  Our Valentine’s Day Party will be on Tuesday, February 14^th. Please have your child bring in their Valentine’s Day cards, please do not address them to individual students; just have your child sign their name.  I am still missing several Progress Reports, please sign it and return on back to me ASAP.  Thank you to all the parents who made Teacher Appreciation Day so special, and for all the wonderful gifts and cards.   Parents, if your child is sick, please keep your child home for twenty-four hours after the fever is gone.  Please check the information board outside the classroom daily for important information.
