We had a great week! We earned our class reward- PJ day and had a library lesson with Ms. Finnegan. Next week we will have a counselor lesson on Monday. Wednesday is Groundhog day and 2’s day. Next week I will also send home our class list of names so that you can begin working on writing out your valentines for the class. I do recommend that the students write them out themselves. It’s great handwriting practice. On the homework, you will see that your child needs a valentine box so they can collect their valentines. I’ve listed some YouTube videos that show decorated boxes. The videos recommend a shoe box but an Amazon box works just as well. 😊Your child has to carry the box into school, so that should determine the size of your box.
