Hi Parents!
Happy Friday! We had a FANTASTIC week! We celebrated the 100th day of school and we celebrated Valentine's Day! We had a surprise visit from Dr. Britto to talk about Dental Health month. We learned about letter writing. And today, we explored how sound waves move with good old-fashioned cup and string phones. In fact, your child brought home his/her cup and string phone today - you should play with it! It's fun! #gettingitdone
Meantime, I received so many sweet Valentine gifts! The cards, candy, and notes just make my day. I shared all the treats with the boys. As always, I am humbled by your generosity and blessed beyond belief to work with these sweet first-graders each day. 💛
As we head into a long weekend, here is your weekly update:
Marker Refresh:
The kids use their markers for lots of coloring projects. Some of our markers have seen better days! Please consider sending a fresh box of markers to school with your child (not a requirement; just a suggestion). Your child's markers stay in his/her pencil box. Markers are not a "shared" supply. Thank you!
Random Acts of Kindness Week:
Next week is designated "Random Acts of Kindness Week". I sent home information in yesterday's Thursday folder about this special week dedicated to acts of kindness. Please read the information regarding the "School Counselors' 28-day Kindness Challenge", and how you can "Celebrate as a Family at Home". We will have a school-wide spirit week too! The themes for each day are as follows:
Don't forget! No school on Monday due to Presidents' Day. Enjoy your long weekend!
