On Tuesday, February 14th, we will have a Valentine’s Day celebration.  Each child may bring in Valentine cards for their classmates.  A list of students’ names is attached to this newsletter.  It will be a great time!

100th Day:
We will be celebrating the 100th day of school on Tuesday, February 14th!  Each child needs to bring in a collection of 100 items to share with the class, or create a project to show 100 items.  They can be as creative as they want.  Some examples are 100 pennies, 100 cotton balls, 100 beads, etc., or a picture using beans, marshmallows, etc...  The important element is that they are counting out 100 items.  Have fun!

Book It!
Attached is this month’s book-it calendar.  Please try to read as much as you can and don’t forget to color in the days that you read for 20 minutes. Happy reading!

Character Counts

Last month’s character trait was Compassion.  We watched the students carefully and chose 2 students who we felt best exhibited this trait.  Congratulations to the January Character Counts winners - Abbey G. and Cara T.!  This month’s character trait that we will be working on is cooperation.  Please encourage your child to practice this trait at school.

PTO NEWS!!!






Check out our pictures!
Dear Parents,

We want to inform you of the progress our students made during the 2010-2011 school year.  We constantly review each student's learning progress to be certain that we are "on track."  One way we do this is by employing a widely used and nationally validated achievement test.  This test is administered throughout the United States to hundreds of thousands of children annually, both at the beginning, and again at the end of the school year.

Our students have completed the spring test and we can now judge the results of our students' and out teachers' efforts this school year.

Our charts demonstrate the results in greater detail.

We welcome others to join us for the 2011 - 2012 school year!
