    Today started out with a somber mood.  Only 8 children were here in class before P.E. started.  The snow is beautiful but hard to travel in, as we parents all know.
     If your child was not here, please get on the connected website today and review lessons in chapter 7, 8, and 9 to help your children be ready for our District Benchmark test tomorrow.
    This week is SEP conferences.  If you can, please bring your child so we can update their goals.  I'm looking forward to meeting with each of you and sharing some great progress.

     Thanks for sending valentines on Friday.  The kids had a great time.   
     Today, you will see the SEP schedule for next week in your child's folder.  I am getting things ready to talk to you about your child.  Please come with questions you can ask me, too.  Report cards will be given out.
     This week we start our unit on Fossils.  The students will work on using description in their writing.  The students will also revisit what main ideas and details are in stories.
     Keep reading and practicing times tables at home.

     We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Friday, February 13.  Please send a cereal or shoe box to school on Thursday to decorate in class.  If you want to decorate it at home, instead, that is fine.  If you send valentines, please include everyone.  We have 19 students right now.
    Hi!  SEP conferences are coming up.  Please sign up for a time on the paper that came home today.  I will try to give you the times you need.  I want you to be able to check your schedules and your other children's schedules to coordinate.  
     The science fair is approaching.  Remember that I want each student to participate in the science fair or history fair.  Please decide which one.  We will talk about it at SEP conferences.
     The second SAGE writing test is tomorrow at 10:40.  Please have your children here on time so they can take it with the class.  It is important that your child try his/her best.  Then we have a break from testing until April.  Yea!   
     Remember that school yearbooks are less this month.  If you would like one, please send the money in an envelope to school before the prices go up next month.
     Thanks so much, parents, for your support of reading each day with your child.  Thanks for practicing their times tables too.  It pays off.

    There are Science Fair hand outs in the office.  Please have your student get one if they are going to participate.  The History Fair is just around the corner, too.
     If you want to order a yearbook, they are $12 during the month of February.  Send your money in the envelope found in your child's folder.
 This week the children will be learning about Family Teams when they read about the Wright brothers.   
     Results of their science test will be sent home next week.  
     Keep practicing times tables at home.  The students need to have them memorized in their head.  
     The next math test is on Wednesday.  Please help your child review Tuesday night.
