Happy Valentine's Day-Late

Thanks to all of the moms and dads who sent in treats and paper goods for our Valentine's party. The kids had a great time as evidenced by the noise level, smiles, and mess! Many thanks to Shawnta for organizing the good time!

I hope to see everyone today at the movie!

Don't forget about the field trip next Wednesday. If you have misplaced the permission slip, just write a note giving your child permission to attend the trip and send in the $3.00 to cover the cost. We should be back at school by 11:30.

Another reminder that Wednesday is an early release day. School will be dismissed at 1:25 instead of the usual 3:25.

Conferences are Tuesday and Wednesday nights. If you have any concerns, please feel free to call me: 732-0661 ext. 439, or email: putnam_s@cneschools.org.

Next week:
We will not take a written test on The Great Kapok Tree since the majority of the class earned 100% on the AR version. (The minority earned 90%-still acceptable!) We will be reading Flute's Journey which is the tale of a woodthrush written by Lynne Cherry-the author of The Great Kapok Tree. All students will also take an AR test on this book.
The homework packet was sent home yesterday-all 3 pages. I would bet that there are already students who have completed this packet. Yes, there is spelling this week. Don't forget to complete your 50 points (or use your Valentine homework pass:)

If I don't see you at the movie, I'll see you Tuesday! Enjoy the long weekend.
