The students celebrated 100th day this week.  We celebrated in a lot of different ways.  The students were able to built with 100 Solo cups, write a book (My Mom Has Told Me 100 Times...), and built towers with our reading buddies.

We continue to work on diagonals in letters like k & y.  I am also finding a lot of children starting from the bottom when writing letter and numbers.  The Pandas also continued to work on our reading strategies.  We have learned good reader use a lot of different tools when they read.

Panda News:

 

We continue to assess for upcoming report cards.   The Pandas took their report cards home today.  Please sign and return the envelope.  You may keep the report card for your records.  

If you have not sent in valentines yet please do so by Monday.  The children will pretend to run a post office and mail there valentines.  

It is the time of year for sickness.  Please do not send you child to school sick.  The school policy says that they must be fever free for at least 24 hours before they return to school.  It is always good to air on the side of caution when making the decision to keep them home.  I have been stressing to the kids to cough in their elbows and to wash their hands.  Hopefully, the sickness will dissipate soon.  Thank you for your help!  

 Here are a few tidbits on upcoming events.  Happy weekend!
