We had a great but busy week! I hoped your child told you all about the theater and the performance of “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.” Our next field trip will be in house next month. The G.A.B.I.E. bus will be visiting and talking about plants and agriculture of Georgia. Permission slips will go home on Monday.
Progress reports went home today. Please sign one copy, keep the other and return it. I am very happy with our progress!
Next week on Wednesday we will be exchanging valentines. Please send in your valentine boxes and cards on that day. We will be exchanging them during our day.
Also next week, we will continue with our opinion writing. Please see the flyer about sending in a collection (red paper flyer sent home last week). Your child will need a collection of about 3-5 items (related items ie… shells, rocks, small action figures).

Parents I need your help! We are frequently forgetting to bring a snack to school and I am completely out of all donations. If you are shopping this weekend we could really use some more! Thank you. Some suggestions are goldfish crackers, saltines, granola bars, pretzels or similar. If they are individually wrapped, that helps a lot but if not, I have Ziploc bags here! I just really appreciate the help. J
