Hello Parents!

We have some exciting plans and projects coming up in February that we'd like to update you on. A friendly reminder that next Friday Feb. 13th we will be celebrating Valentine's Day as well as the 100th Day of school. We will be planning some fun activities so expect to see a note come home with your child in the following days.

We are also getting geared up for the Science Fair that will be happening in March. All throughout February we will be demonstrating various experiments in class to give your students ideas for their own fun projects for the fair.

In History, we have begun learning about the 13 colonies, King George III, and the Boston Tea Party. Feel free to quiz your students at home. You'll be amazed to see how many colonies they are able to recite from memory!

Also, if your student is ever absent for any reason and he/she was unable to pick up homework, be sure to check the new bins in the entry way for extra copies of the weekly assignments.

Hope you all are well!
