SNOW DAY UPDATE

Families of Room 31 ~

Well... looks like Mother Nature has taken revenge on us this past week.  Given that today is another snow day, I wanted to remind you of a few important items.

1.  SOCIAL STUDIES TEST on WEDNESDAY.  The student's should have their study guide and text book home to be reviewing for the test.  The cover sheet of the study papers shares what the test expectations will be and also includes pages of the text book that the students can read for review. Please email me if you have any questions.

2.  VALENTINE'S DAY - On Tuesday, we will take some time to celebrate Valentine's Day as a class.  Last week, I sent home a class list with the students' names.  If your child is choosing to hand our valentines, they must distribute valentines to every classmate.  Also, please remember that students may not pass out Valentines that are food related.  Your child may being in an extra snack to enjoy while we open our cards.

3.  FOOD DRIVE -  Thank you to those families who have helped contribute to our food drive.  Our class has surpassed the goal of 100 items. Thus far, we have brought in 162 food items.  The class established a new goal of reaching 200 items.  The final day to bring in items is Wednesday, February 15th.  If we work together, I'm sure we can reach our goal!

Stay warm!

Week of February 6th UPDATE

1.  TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7th is a 1/2 day.  Dismissal is at 12:15.

2.  CANNED / BOXED FOOD DRIVE UPDATE - Thanks to all those families that have generously donated to our canned food drive.  This far, our classroom is in the lead surpassing our goal of 100 cans!  As of today, our classroom has brought in  137 canned / boxed food items for the Worcester County Food Bank! WOW!  We will be setting a new goal tomorrow and see if we can reach that!  Thank your for your generous support in this school endeavor.

3.  SOCIAL STUDIES TEST - Last week the student brought home a study guide / notes and their social studies text book.  We are having a text on the SOUTH (climate / physical features / natural resources and economy) on Wednesday, February 15th.  I have encouraged the students to review for 10 minutes each day!  This should help prevent "Cramming" at the last minute.  We will also be reviewing in class, yet they will NOT need their materials.  Keep the book at home until he day of the test!  Thank for you your support in reminding your child to study / review every night.

4. VALENTINES - In the blue communication folder, a class list was sent home.  We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday February 14th.  If your child chooses to hand out Valentines, they must have a Valentine for every student in the class.  Please do not purchase / send in any Valentines that include food / candy!  Your child may bring in an extra snack this day to enjoy while we are opening our Valentines.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions / concerns.
