Week of Valentines!

Congratulations to Anya for this week's award on LOVE!

Froggy is glad to be back and will spend the weekend with Anya, and then catch up with Emmy during the week!

I've started a Boxcar Mania in our class! We read the first Boxcar book as a class and just finished it up today. we'll be working on a small project to wrap that up next week. Many students checked out more Boxcar Children books from the library this week and have chosen them for the next book reports. Providing them a little experience in reading a novel in class was one goal, but getting them hooked on Boxcar Children books was just a hope. Boy did that work!
Parents please request to see the information sheet for our next book report. Students have them and we've gone over the directions.

We've been discussing economics this week in S.S. Feel free to explain further about how you and your family makes and uses money. We will learn more about how people make decisions about how to use their money coming up.

Science is Out of This World! We've had a scavenger hunt to find solar system facts, finished up our cool planet reports in the form of a friendly letter, we'll gaze at some stars this week, and we will be heading to the planetarium this Thursday! Permission slips are due by Monday and we are still waiting for more. Get those in please!

Valentine's Day is always a special day here at CCA. Besides the multitude of balloons, there's usually time for a little treat and passing out Valentine cards. Please use the reminder list in Friday Folders to include every student IF passing Valentine's out at all. We'll enjoy whatever treats you'd like to share. Please only bring those that are easy to share and for all 14 students. Bring a water bottle for a drink during the party.

The invention reports and science letters look great up on our walls! Good work!

MATH TEST MONDAY!

Field Trip Thursday! Please be in full Friday Uniform and no need to bring anything along.

Keep in mind:
No school Monday, 2/20
OUR school family on March 2

Happy weekend!
