Happy day after Ground Hog Day!

Well, in my book the groundhog didn't see his shadow, so we should be seeing the end of winter - well, sometime before June 1st! How's that for a prediction?

This week we are emphasizing Ee words. As well, our tricky and sight word bags came home with so, my, and love for your child to add to his/her memory. Please keep reviewing the whole bag - repetition is the key to remembering these words.

Yesterday a couple of letters came home. The Day 100 letter, stating that we are now looking at Tuesday,February 17th as our day for celebrating the number 100. The day will be moved ahead if there are any snow days between now and then. Have fun making your Day 100 projects. It always amazes me - the imagination of the children and the variety of displays of the amount that 100 is.

The other letter was about our Public Speaking program. Each child is required to give a "talk" at the amount of time for their grade level, at least in the classroom. Please help your child with this requirement of the Language Arts curriculum. Have fun with it - it helps if the student talks about a familiar subject that they are interested in. Once again, imagination is the key.

Have a great week!
