NOTES FOR PARENTS:
- Thank you so much to all of the parents and grandparents who volunteered in our classroom this week! Here is the sign up for next week.

- Our Valentine’s Day party will be this Friday from 12:30-1:45 pm. Part of our Valentine’s celebration will include passing out cards for our classmates. To make it fun and easy for everyone to do, please follow these instructions:
- Have your first grader sign his/her name on each card.
- Please do NOT have them write who the card is for. Leaving the “to” section blank will make it easier when it comes time to pass out our cards.
- Have your first grader make enough cards for all 22 students in our class.
- Send the cards into school by Wednesday, February 12.
- Kids Heart Challenge will run until February 28th!
