Well, we have hit the mid-term mark for third quarter, so please make sure your child is staying caught up. The next progress report will be coming home next Wednesday, Feb. 16th. We are shooting for Friday, Feb. 18th to be our next Worker's Holiday. Be sure to look for more information in our next Newsletter.
Be looking for a Valentine list to come home in the next couple of days. If your child wants to bring in Valentines on Monday, they will need to bring one for the whole class. We will be having a small party in the afternoon, on Monday, Feb. 14th. I don't think we will need any treats for this party, though. The students will already be on a sugar high by the time we get to celebrating, I am sure.
Remember there will not be any school on Monday, Feb. 21st, due to President's Day.
On Tuesday, Feb. 22nd, Science permission slips will be coming home. They will need to be signed and returned back to school by Friday, Feb. 25th. Remember that all fifth graders are required to do the Science Fair this year. The rules and information on how to get started, if you haven't already, will be sent home the following week on Feb. 28th. I hope that if you have a science experiment that is going to take over a 3 week period to test out and do- that you have started it already, because students only have until March 25th to get the science experiment completed. We will be having our Science Fair on Friday, March 25th. Parents can come in and view experiments from 1:00-3:15.
I wanted to remind some students and parents that the first Reading Revolution for 3rd quarter is due next Wednesday.
I appreciate all the help and concern I get from parents. Keep up the good work you are doing with your children. Sincerely, Mrs. Little
