As Valentine's Day approaches, please be mindful of the peanut allergies that are evident in our classroom.
I am also encouraging all of you to think of non-sugary treats to share with classmates. Examples would be a new Valentine's pencil, eraser, little spiny tops, trinkets, hand-written secret messages, stickers, sticky notes, word games, etc.. Clean out your junk drawers and let the kids go wild with the little toys that have been hidden for weeks and even years! I am really trying to encourage rewards and prizes that are not sugary.
Valentine Class List: START NOW!!
Abraham, Chloe, Christopher, Cliff, Cora, Courtney, Emma, Ethan, Grace, Julia, Kaylynn, Kendra, Kourtney, MacKenzie, Mason, Megan, Mila, Natasha, Noah, Owen, Reece, Sarah, Tayden, Wyatt

FOCUS THIS WEEK
This week we will be focusing on SHAPES in math as well as continuing to review the Singapore Math method of subtracting and adding numbers together above 10.
Thank you to those of you who attended the Singapore Math Afternoon Information Meeting. I hope it was helpful to you. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Please help your child by talking about coin combinations up to $1.00. Some of the children are fantastic with money and can add up coins higher than a $1.00. Others are still identifying the coin names. I am trying to solidify these concepts at school and would love for you to carry on with coins at home. Thank you very much.
Last week we wrote letters to the President, Barack Obama. The kids asked some interesting questions to him and I am very proud of their efforts. We are going to continue writing letters to people and become comfortable with the letter format. If you have any thank you notes that need to be done, please let your child do the writing. It's a wonderful experience for them to do and it helps them feel special knowing that they have crafted a letter to someone they love. These are heart-felt gifts!
