The student's had a blast today! Thank you to all the parents who sent treats and cards! Also, I am extremely thankful to the families who sent me cards, candies, popcorn, stuffed frogs and chocolates! It is a joy to be able to come to work and do what I love most to do and teach!

Hi! I am so proud of all the students who remembered to complete 2 days of spelling homework staying right on schedule even with yesterday's day off!!! Today we continued to read and learn more about Abraham Lincoln.

Tomorrow is an exciting day. The students have been talking about Valentine's Day for the longest! Please, please, please make sure that if your child is bringing treats or cards they have enough for everyone. All 29 students, 14 girls and 15 boys. We don't want anyone to feel left out. Last holiday party, I had to send treats back home, since there were not enough for everyone to have one. Please NO CUPCAKES or CAKES.

Thanks,
Mrs. Estrada

Hi! Thank you to all the parents who were so prompt to return report cards. Also, some parents asked about the recent book your child may have come home with on Tuesday. This book is solely for enjoyment (no need to complete book report). We finally have a library teacher!!!! Therefore, the students visited the library on Tuesday and she allowed them to checkout a book. Students will need to bring that book back on Tuesday to checkout a different book. Yay for finally having the school library open!!!!

Hi!
Even though we had 8 students missing today, we still had a wonderful and productive day! I completely understand in keeping your child home if they are sick, we don't want to spread the germs. However, please understand that every day they miss of school they are missing valuable information. Monday's and Friday's are especially important since we get all our new words, story, and poems for the week on Mondays and then assessment day on Friday. Today in Math we also started our unit on Geometry!!!

Homework:
Spelling: master copy and 3 times each (press, pry, prime, spring, truck, try, trunk, string, dress, drink, draw, dry, brush, brick, bring)

Phonics: worksheet long i

Math: on sorting and classifying shapes

Reading: practice reading and practice sight words (think, going, new, came, please, into, ride, ate, ask, give)
