Week of January 25-January 29, 2016

We are so excited for the upcoming 100^th day of school on February 2nd.  Keep working on those 100 Day t-shirts….we are excited to show off at our parade at 8:15.  We hope you can join us for the parade. 

Thank you for sending in the cereal boxes.  Keep them coming!  We will use them to make our Valentine’s boxes.  If you have lost your class list, let us know and we can send you another.  It is time to make Valentine’s cards!

This morning in the library, the children who participated in the Cookie Primary Reading Program (back in October) received a book in their honor.  This book is to be enjoyed at home a week or so, and then returned.  Check out their name in the front of the book!

Today we made a tooth brushing chart.  If the children brush their teeth morning and night (and record it on their chart!), they can return it next Monday for a magic ticket.  Happy tooth brushing!  If they didn’t brush this morning, they have some catching up to do after school.  ;)
