Room 1321 will celebrate the day with a valentine exchange the last hour of the day. Please bring a valentine for everyone if you choose to participate.
Apex Fun Run - Our class has reached $24.00 per lap, so we've earned extra recess tomorrow. Some pledges are taking longer to register for students because all pledges must be confirmed by phone before a student is credited with a pledge. If you've made a pledge, please check for a message from Apex and return their call confirming your pledge.
We're looking forward to running with the rest of the third grade on Friday morning, 8:30-9:20am. Please come cheer us on! If you haven't logged onto the Apex website with your child's access code, please do so tonight to indicate his/her t-shirt size. You can also make a pledge - all proceeds benefit our Artists in Residence and Intervention program.
Winter Olympics - Did you know that your child (and you!) have access to lots of information about the Winter Olympics? Check out Newsela, Scholastic News, and our Links page under more...
Word Study - Please support your child's Word Study learning by asking them to share their word sort with you. S/he should be able to sort the words into categories and explain the spelling pattern being studied. Ask to see their Word Hunt in their Word Study notebook (red). These are words they've found in their reading book (right now it's a mystery) that follow the spelling pattern in this word sort. Recognizing the words in context is really the whole point of word study --- applying the learning in our reading and writing lives.
