Envisions Math
I have assigned some new math games on the Envisions website. Please check out http://www.pearsonsuccessnet.com with your child and have them log themselves in. Every child’s username is his/her first and last name (all lower case, no spaces) and all passwords are 123456.
BOX TOPS CHALLENGE
As most of you already know we have been working on our building challenge with our Box Tops. We ask that you continue collecting and bringing those Box Tops in to add to our classroom total. The students are having a great time with this activity. You can even ask for help from aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas with this challenge, the more people involved the better.
Dolch Practice
I am sending home two lists of DOLCH words (sight words). Please take a few minutes each night to run through a few words on the lists. There are columns on the sheets so please feel free to mark a word off when your child knows the word, and practice some of the harder words. It is important for children to learn these words by sight, because very few of them can be “sounded out”. Our goal is to have each word read correctly in 2 seconds.
Book in a Bag Reminder
Remember we are sending a book home with your child every Monday. They are to return their book in the bag on the following Monday so you have the weekend to read it as well. Encourage your child to read the book as many times as they can during the week. Parents are to write the number of times the book was read and sign the sheet inside your child’s book bag.

Valentine’s Day
Wow! Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and you are probably getting cards ready to go. I want you to know ahead of time that we will be making our Valentine’s Bags here at school. I’ve found that it works much better than having everyone bring one. We encourage the kids to be creative in their own way to make their bags and the kids have a blast making them here at schoolJ. I will have the things they need here at school for the project. You will get to see their bags when they get home with all of their “goodies” in them. (If you have begun or finished a Valentine box that is fine. Have your child bring it to school and they will get to use it as well as the bag we will decorate in class.) As for the Valentine’s cards, it is much easier on your children if you don’t write a specific name on the envelope (on the “To:” line). This way the children can just walk by everyone’s bag and drop in a card and not look for one particular bag. You can only imagine what this looks like with 24 children trying to find certain bags.
UPCOMING DATES
February 14 ~ Valentine Parties
February 15 ~ K-2 Music Program @ 1:30 (HS Auditorium)
February 21 ~ No School (or snow make up day)
March 1-4 ~ Conferences
Thank You ~
