Week of January 23-January 27, 2017

We are so excited for the upcoming 100^th day of school on February 1st.  Keep working on those 100 Day t-shirts….we are excited to show off at our parade at 8:05 am.  We hope you can join us for the parade. 

Please start saving large cereal boxes as you empty them.  You can send them to school starting January 30^th.  We’ll be decorating them to hold our Valentine cards.  More info on Valentine Day will come as the day gets closer.

To go along with our study of dental health, we will be making a tooth brushing chart.  If the children brush their teeth morning and night (and record it on their chart!), they can return it Monday, January 30^th, for a ticket.  Happy tooth brushing!
