Wow, three weeks into January and it is busy, busy, busy!  Not to mention, it's hard to believe that we are less than three weeks away from our big school celebration of turning 100!  A lot will be happening and the planning is coming together nicely.  Dont' forget to read through the newsletter about the "Once in a Lifetime Photo Opportunity" that went home today (and also to send in your money).  As for this week, here is an update.

Monday
  • New spelling words coming home
Tuesday
  • New spelling city assignment
  • Tone It Up Tuesday - bring a water bottle!  Another great workout in which your child will want to be hydrated!
  • Library books due
  • Patroller skating with the Hurricanes

Next week, just a heads up.  It is our hot lunch and assembly day on Tuesday, January 29.  The assembly is at 12:30 with a Winter Wear Day theme.  Students can wear their favorite winter hats, etc. 

Have a great week!

Jan 14 - 18

Wow, it's hard to believe we are already half way through January!  These next couple of months will certainly fly by!  It is a time that a lot of learning occurs and growth, which we look forward to celebrating at the end of March. 

Just a couple of reminders:
  • Education City will be due tomorrow, January 15 and a new assignment will be ready to go for Thursday, January 17. 
  • The snowshoes are here and we will try to get out as much as we can with them, when the schedule allows us.  We got out this afternoon and it was nice to see all the smiles in the snow! 
  • Booster Juice hot lunch forms and money is due in by Wednesday. 
  • On Friday, we will frolick as well, so be sure to dress for the weather! 
Thank you for taking the time to keep up to date with your child's education.  If you have any comments, concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to leave a note in the agenda, email me or post a comment on here!

Happy Monday!!

Week of January 7 - 11

Welcome back!  I thought it was going to be hard to get out of bed and out the door on time but with excitement to return I was early than usual!  It was nice to see all the smiling faces this morning! (Yet they were tired too!)  I hope you all had a restful break and are settled in for the next chunk of time to work, work, work!

A couple of things this week to remember:
Monday:
  • Snowshoes have arrived!  This means a lot more outside PE time so please dress appropriately for the weather.  It may not seem very cold out, but that wind is most unpleasant after 30 minutes out in it. 
  • New spelling words are coming home today.  Please review and practice the sort with your child.  Spelling City has also been set and is set to their current words (which will be assigned to them tomorrow in computer class)
Tuesday:
  • New Education City homework will be set.  Due Jan. 15.
Wednesday:
  • Parent Council meeting is at 6:30pm and is open to all parents.  This is a good way to have your voice heard when decisions are made for our school.

Thanks for a great Monday! We look forward to a quiet week!
