Valentine’s Day
On Valentines Day cards – do not put any names on the cards or envelopes
This helps the kids passing the cards out and makes things go more smoothly.
Please have enough cards for 19 students.
You are welcome to send in candy or treats for the class.
I do not know the exact date of the Valentine’s Day party.
It will be the week of the 12-16th. Maybe on Friday the 15th. I will let you know closer to the time. Thanks.

100 Day Projects
This project is to be done at home.
Do not hurry this project.
You have plenty of time to complete it. (Till Feb. 5th on the 100th day)
Come up with a creative idea of something to collect.
I put examples on the blog earlier. Refer to those pictures to get ideas. Try not to do exactly what is on there.
I put those on there to give you ideas and to show you the level of work that I expect. These projects got A+.
Any projects that does not have this level of neatness or care into it will not get an A+.
Please have your child spend TIME on this project.
I do not want it to be something they just threw together in 5 minutes.
Have some pride in this – they should be proud of it and want the whole school to see it in the hallway.
If they are drawing, use crayons, markers, glitter -- NO PENCILS!
