Dear Families,

We are ready for our second round of Brown Bag Student. This time around students will have four choices. Students may bring their favorite snack to share with the class. Students may make and bring a collage about themselves to share with the class. Students may choose one item related to their life to share with the class. Students may bring a photo album or a scrapbook to share with the class.

Parent teacher conferences will be held next week, February 6th through the 8th. A finalized schedule was sent home with students and posted to our class website last week.

Students will be participating in a Valentine’s Day contest. Each student needs to construct a container at home. The containers will be judged based on the Valentine’s Day theme, creativity, and originality. Containers are due on Thursday, February 9th. You may send Valentine treats on Tuesday, February 14th if you would like.

Mid Term Second Trimester Grade Reports were sent home last week. Please review reports for Parent Teacher Conferences.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Womack
