We have been lucky with the nice weather. The children have enjoyed time to play outside. Last week we finished up our China unit with the tiger and cobra. This week we are learning about animals that live in the woods here in Iowa. Mrs. Sheldon talked about fox, deer and will also cover skunk and raccoon. We will also talk a little about the groundhog tomorrow.

I am sending notes home today about our 100 day celebration on Friday, February 10th.

Your child will need to bring 19 valentines to school for the other children. They do not have to have them addressed to the children but please have your child sign their name. It is good practice and then the other children can see who the valentine is from.

Our continent for the Peace Festival is Asia. More information will come from the office.
