The peace festival was a success. The children did a nice job singing their songs and there were many kinds of food to sample. We enjoyed seeing all of you that were able to make it.

We are learning a little about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln this week. We are polishing pennies too--we discussed that Lincoln is on the penny.

The next couple weeks we will learn a little about dinosaurs. The children seem to enjoy this unit.

We look forward to seeing everyone at conferences the next couple weeks. You are signed up for either Mon. Feb. 28th or Tues. March 8th.

We had a nice Valentine party. The children enjoyed distributing their cards. They were very excited.

The peace festival is tomorrow night. Our class time is from 6-7 p.m. The children will be singing their peace songs at 6:15. We look forward to seeing you there.

Thank you for signing up for conferences so quickly.

With the warmer weather, the children come in wet and sometimes could use a pair of dry socks. If you could put an extra pair in their backpack, it would help.

We finished up our woodland animals unit last week. We learned a little about Chinese New Year and this week we are doing an overview of Asia. Today we celebrated our 100th day of school. The children were excited about this and enjoyed the snack mix we made.

We sent home notes this week about Valentine's Day and conferences. Your child may bring 20 valentines with his or her name on the card. They will take turns putting their valentines in sacks we decorate at school. There are sign-up sheets in the hall for conferences. They are from 3-6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 28th and Tuesday, March 8th. Please stop in and choose a time that will work for you.

The Peace Festival is Feb. 17th. Our class time is 6-7 p.m. Our class may bring Asian food to share. The children will be singing their peace songs at intervals during the evening.
