Reminders for This Week

Hello 2-3 Families!

I hope you are all enjoying the snow we have.  The sledding hill by our house has been filled with families!!  I just have a few quick reminders about some things happening this week......

1. BOOK FAIR
The annual PTA Book Fair launched yesterday!  The kids were so excited to preview all of the wonderful books available for purchase.  Please note that students are only allowed to shop during their recess and lunch times.  Students are not permitted to shop during the lunch hour until they have finished their lunch.  Tonight, 2/6, is FAMILY FUN NIGHT!!  We hope you can stop by!  The Book Fair will run through tomorrow.  Thank you to the PTA for all of their hard work in putting on such a great event to promote reading!

2. THE 100th DAY OF SCHOOL
Can you believe that tomorrow is the 100th day of school?  Time sure flies when you are having fun!  Yesterday I sent home bags with each student labeled "My 100 Bag."  Students are encouraged to bring in 100 of something that will fit into the bag so we can celebrate 100 days of learning together tomorrow!

3.  SHOE TYING
I have been noticing lately that there are several students in 2-3 who are not familiar with how to tie their shoes.  Being that the kids are wearing boots and then changing into gym shoes when they get to school, I strongly encourage your children to practice tying their shoes at home. I have been working on this skill with them in class, but continued practice outside of the classroom will be helpful.   This is an important skill for your children to master because it allows them to tie their own shoes when an adult is not available.  Thank you for your help with this.

I hope you are all having a great week! Let's hope Phil's Groundhog's Day forecast was correct and that spring is just around the corner.
