Report cards will be going home in the Friday folders this week.  Click HERE for a reminder as to what the letter grades stand for.  There will be a few skills on the report card that will not have a grade.  That means we haven't assessed them yet, but will for the Feb. report card.  I will have extra copies available for us to look at during conferences next week. 

Please make sure to send your child to school with appropriate clothing for going outside (i.e. hats, gloves, warm jackets).  They will go out each day for recess...weather permitting!

Travels with Pierre

Today we learned more about trees.  We learned about the different parts of a tree (roots, trunk, branches, leaves) and added those words to our Word Wall.  We learned that leaves have veins and compared the job of those veins to the veins in our bodies!

On Monday, K-1 will have their first Character Class with Mrs. Swanson in the afternoon. She will be doing activities that are centered around our six character traits (honesty, kindness, respect, responsibilities, self-control, and work ethic).

Also on Monday evening from 5-8, stop by Shirley Hills to check out the Sholastic Book Fair Safari. Last week during Media, Mrs. Williams explained to the students how the book fair works and showed them lots of cool new books that will be available!

Thursday is Grandfriends' Day at Shirley Hills. Two weeks ago you received a purple note from Mrs. Bray explaining the schedule. Our class will be singing in the 1:30-2:45 performance. At 2:45, Grandfriends are welcomed to come down to our classroom to do a project with the students. Please make sure to send back the bottom of the purple slip to let me know how many Grandfriends are attending and if you would like your child to go home with them at the end of the day.

One more thing! Friday folders will be going home on Thursday this week. Check them for a reminder about when your child's conference is.

Have a great week!
