Friday Update

Happy Friday! I hope you and your families have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

The SOL Vocabulary Parade
The SOL Vocabulary Parade will be held on this Tuesday, January 31, 2017.   The information sheet has been sent home and your child has received his/her vocabulary word.  It is now time to work on the costume and props.  Please talk with your child about this activity and assist them with securing the supplies they need.  Parents are welcome to come and watch the parade.  The parade will take place in the gym and the schedule is as follows:
8:15-8:45   Kindergarten
9:00-9:30   Grade One
9:45-10:15   Grade Three
10:30-11:00 Grade Two
11:15-11:45 Grade Five
12:00 – 12:30 Grade Four
12:35 – 1:05 Kindergarten PM in the library

Valentine's Day Party
Our class Valentine's Day party will be on Tuesday, February 14th, from 12:15-1:15 pm. We will be decorating Valentine's Day bags in class, so you do not have to bring in a box or bag from home. We will be exchanging Valentine cards with our classmates during the party. A list of the students in our class will be sent home next week. It is completely voluntary and historically, the majority of the class participates. If your child brings cards in, please make sure he/she has one for every student in the class. If your child wants to attach a little something to his/her Valentine cards, please make sure it is not candy. Little items, such as pencils, erasers, tattoos and stickers are fine.
