Medical Symposiums:

Thank you for sending research for your children to use in class. This week we introduced note cards and how to use them. Students may take notes at home using note cards, but please make sure that your child has them at school each day. Please make sure to ask your child if his/her research

The first round of Literature Circles begins next Tuesday, February 4th. Make sure to bring your folder, project and book even if there is a delay next Tuesday. Normally we begin at 9:30, but in case of a delay, we will begin at 10:15.

Chinese New Year:

Many thanks to all of the parents who helped make our day so special! We especially want to thank the Liu family for all their hard work organizing and picking up the food. Your child should have brought a bag of Chinese goodies home today to share about his/her experience.

Portfolio Pictures

We have been LOVINGthe pictures coming in! Thank you from your child’s portfolio!

Valentine Box:

Each year it is a TEAM tradition to create a very unique and creative Valentine box. You and your child may want to start the creative juices soon. For those who wish to enter, there will be a “Most Creative Box Contest” in each classroom. Boxes may be brought in to school beginning February 10th. Valentines may be brought in each morning beginning on the 10th and will go through the 14th. We will set aside a few min. each morning to distribute valentines. We will send home a class list early next week.

Valentine Breakfast

This year we will have a breakfast to share our hearts with our TEAMmates and special adults who are close to our hearts from the school. We are asking parents to help by signing up on Shutterfly to bring in items. The breakfast will begin at 8:20 after announcements.
