February 13 - 16, 2012

We had a wonderful Valentine's Party! I was so proud of the big kid manners the children used. Thank you to all who worked to make our party special! I am very excited about our upcoming field trip to the Museum of Fine Arts on Tuesday, February 28th. We look forward to viewing the art and participating in an art activity. We also have a trip scheduled Thursday, March 22nd to the Lanark Wildlife Federation where we will explore bugs! Please be sure to look at the "Important Dates" section on the left side of the blog. It has been updated to include all of our upcoming "Stars," holidays, and field trips for the next couple of months! Also, you will find information about "Star of the Week" posted below the "Important Dates."


Monday and Tuesday Mrs. Lowery, an excellent certified teacher, will be teaching for me. The students will not miss a beat! I will be at school, but will be participating in the testing sessions for the prospective students. Please pray for our school and the prospective families during this time.


This past week we continued our short vowel practice with blends and digraphs, practiced addition, and began introducing money. Thank you for signing and returning the Midterm Reports. I hope you found that information to be helpful. Below is a look at what to expect in our week ahead.
