Week of February 9- February 13, 2015

We will be exploring coins over the next few weeks.  If you can please send a Ziploc baggie with a variety of coins.  It doesn’t need to be a lot.  For example, 7 pennies, 3 nickels, 3 dimes, and 2 quarters would be awesome!  If you are able to do this, please write your child’s name on the baggie so it can be returned to you!

Parents, please remember to send your child with their Valentine Cards on Friday.  We will help the children “mail” them that morning.  We hope to see you at our class party on Friday at 12:30!
