Hello,

I just wanted to thank you again for all the donations to Penny for Patients.  Our class brought in $448.  I am very proud of them, and as I told them many times I appreciate that they were thinking about other people.  

This is going to be a very full week and a lot of fun. 

We will be celebrating the 100th Day of school.  I have many 100's Day activities planned for the 12th. 

We will also be celebrating Valentine's Day.  Last Thursday I sent home a class list to help with filling out the Valentines.  Be sure to include a card for all the children on the list.  Please be mindful that we are a "Peanut Free" classroom.  We will not be celebrating with Valentine's Day treats.  Our Valentine celebration will last throughout the day.

This week we will be learning about Abraham Lincoln.  We will be reading, writing, as well as completing an art project.  

In math we will continue to work with the 100's chart, understand the 10's and 1's place, counting by 10's, 5's, and 2's.  We will also look at patterns as we work with the 100's chart.

Reminder:  Please return the blue "Home Folder" the next day.  It will typically go out on Mondays and Thursdays.  

Looking forward to a fun week.

Miss Berrum

Reminder: The campus opens at 8:00 am. Please be aware that the children may not play on the play structure or run around on the playground before school. It is school policy that all children line up in front of the classroom door. I really appreciate your support with this morning procedure.
