Tomorrow we will celebrate Valentine’s Day at 11:30 in our classroom. I’m sure it will be a great party thanks to all of those who helped. Another important event coming up is our parent/teacher conferences. These will be on Tuesday. School will let out at 11:00 and conferences will begin soon after. Be sure and check the time that you have been scheduled.

Guided reading continues this week with small groups. Watch for the blue folder to come home with their reading book. No new spelling words again this week. Again, due to so much illness the last couple weeks we are still catching up on some of our writing activities. We begin studying presidents this week in honor of President’s Day, which we are NOT out of school any longer on this day. School is in session on the 21st due to snow. We are moving into measurement of capacity and weight this week in math and will be reviewing measurement of length.

Remember our CHAMPs assemblies are always on Fridays so make sure your child is not tardy or they will miss the assembly. Also there will be TAKS practice testing this week. We will have a couple days of silent lunch so that we can help our Intermediate friends. If you come to eat with your child be sure and honor this request. Sometimes these aren’t the best days to eat with a student. Just please be aware. Also, remember lunch will be early on Tuesday.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Mrs. Benson
