Dear Parents,

Oh happy day…it’s snowing again! Please make sure that your firstie is dressed appropriately for the weather AND/OR they have all their snow gear ready to go, in case we go outside.  Also, please double check with your kiddo to make sure that they have an extra set of clothes in their locker.  Thanks!  

Did you catch it?  My mistake on the calendar?  I know that that I wrote (on BOTH calendars….what was I thinking?) that our half day of school is going to be on the 16^th.  Scratch that.  It is going to be the on the following Friday, the 23^rd.  Please mark that down and forgive me for my mistake.  

Lutheran Schools Week has been fun so far!  Below are a few pictures from our “Twin Day”. 

Tomorrow we will be participating in some fun Olympic activities in the afternoon, and each class will be wearing colors that represent their chosen country’s flag (We are Ireland! Please have your firstie wear the colors orange, green, or white OR they can wear St. Patrick’s Day attire (as long as it is appropriate!)) 

We are just trucking along in Math!  Today, we practiced using mental math to solve our addition problems…adding by 10s. This is a hard concept for some to grasp at first.  Don’t let your firstie get discouraged if they aren’t getting it right away! If your firstie needs to use their Hundred Chart, that is okay too!   

How is the reading at home going?  Keep up the good work in helping your firstie become more and more fluent. I am seeing ALL the firsties become more confident and volunteer to read out loud…..it’s GOOD STUFF! 

Blessings on your evening!
