Important Dates:

Valentine’s party will be held on Tuesday, February 9^th at 2:00. I sent home a list of all the students in the class so your child will be able to address his/her Valentine Cards. Please help your child decorate a shoe box or a small paper bag for his/her Valentine cards. I know some kids love to be crafty and others do not, please know the box or the small paper bag does not need to be too fancy.  Thank you all for helping with the Valentine’s Party!
