GREAT GOAL SET TERS!

eport cards went home on Friday and the envelopes should be signed and returned if you haven’t already done so. Please contact us if you

have any questions. Third quarter is here. Make sure you are always doing your best work.

Just a little heads up, we will be exchanging Valentines next week on Thursday, February 14. Please send your child with a decorated box or bag to collect Valentines, however, bring them for all or none. Please remember to be considerate of others’ feelings. Please contact our room moms to see what you can do to help out with our small parties.

"

" We are only halfway through the year and the students are very low on supplies! Please send your child with more expo markers, colored pencils, crayons, markers, glue sticks, glue, wide ruled paper, kleenex, clorox wipes, and copy paper this week! Thank you! We will give punches/tickets to those students who donate supplies! :)

Start thinking of 2-3 states that you would like to choose for your state research report! We will be choosing soon!

Have a great week!

Mrs. Champion, Mrs. Esparza, & Mrs. Sigenfuse
